Life was simpler for Grier when she was flat broke and a social pariah. Now she’s carrying the baggage that goes along with the title of Dame Woolworth, and shouldering that weight is giving her a serious crick in the neck. Her work as a Haint is the one thing that makes her feel normal, but even that’s more paranormal than usual.
Spirits are vanishing from well-known hot spots on the ghost tour circuit, and vampires are turning up as shriveled husks. Grier takes it upon herself to uncover what’s preying on Savannah’s supernatural community, and what she uncovers is bigger than a few flickering lampposts gone dark. It’s a deadly threat unleashed by one of their own, and saving her city just might kill her.
Also in this series: How to Save an Undead Life, How to Break an Undead Heart, How to Dance an Undead Waltz, How to Live an Undead Lie, How to Wake an Undead City, The Epilogues: How to Kiss an Undead Bride
How to Claim an Undead Soul is book two in the Beginner’s Guide to Necromancy by Hailey Edwards.
This series is one you do need to read in order. Each book builds on the previous one.
Grier has been through a lot in her life and theirs still more hardships, trills, and heartache in store for her.
I had to remember a few details about what happened in book one. It took me a moment to get back into the swing and the story, but once I did I enjoyed How to Claim an Undead Soul. We get moment in the story and theirs a mystery to solve in regards to ghosts disappearing and no one knows why. The author gives us more developments; from Grier, from her love interests, from her powers, and more. I enjoyed the twist in the plot and had a delightful time with the story.
As for Grier’s relationships. I’m not a fan of adding in a new man to via for her attentions, but we see a competitor possibly rising up. Grier has the hots for Boaz and I’d like to see the underdog get the girl, but that love angle is still undecided even though Boaz is finally waking up and realizing Grier is what he wants. Then we have Linus who is their to help Grier learn about her powers, but he’s also their for other seasons. Not everything is clear. One thing I did get is that Linus hides who he truly is and I can’t see him every truly opening and being what Grier needs, at least at this stage.
How to Claim an Undead Soul was a satisfying read.
Rating: 3.5 Stars

About Hailey Edwards
USA Today best-selling author Hailey Edwards writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.

Hmm.. Maybe. Looks interesting.
I have to say the cover – the girl on it when I fist saw them reminded me of Zena Warrior Princess. ^_^
It’s been fun to read them. It’s got some different aspects that I don’t read much of, which is refreshing.
Between your review and your comment above, this series sounds like something I would like.
It’s enjoyable. I’m curious to see where things go from here. Ms. Edwards hooked me with her Black Dog series and then the Gemini and now we have this new world. Hope you enjoy!
Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for sharing!
