Review Detail

Books in a series are always being compared to one another and it usually affects the rating. I do that too, don't get me wrong, but I almost don't think you can do that here. There's still ghosts and there's still Will, but Queen of the Dead is somehow different than the the previous book.

I'd say Queen of the Dead is not quite as light as The Ghost and the Goth was. It's uber dark or anything, but it's not completely humorous either. That being sad, I really don't want to base this books rating off of it's predecessor because they're different, but I really enjoyed both.

The characters are definitely my favorite part of the story. Alona can be mean, but she's also funny (though sometimes I don't think it's intended) and she really does have a heart. Will. Will, Will, Will. He's just so sweet and amazing. The way he cares about Alona just makes me want to shove her out of the way and make him care about me that way. There aren't so many random ghosts here as in the last book, but the few that did show up were fun.

Final Thoughts: Overall, Queen of the Dead was a fun, quick read. The romance is cute and way more realistic than most paranormal romances. I laughed, I smiled, I (almost) cried. Definitely pick this one up if you read the first (I'm SO excited for the next one!!!) and if you haven't read the first, pick that one up too. They're much lighter than your typical paranormal romance and I really enjoyed that.
