With a touch of her hand, Octavia Hollows can restore life. Yet, she couldn’t save the man she loved from the horrific accident that stole him from her. Octavia thought she could outrun the pain, but ghosts from the past refuse to be silenced. Out of options, she chooses to retrace her wayward journey across the country in search of answers. Surrounded by baffling mysteries of the undead, what she learns about herself along the way might become her greatest weapon.

Seattle, Washington: Land of cloudy skies and a great cup of coffee.

Octavia blew into town in search of information, only to get swirled up in a paranormal predicament even she couldn’t fathom. A neonatal nurse is dead, and her young patient is aging at an alarming rate.

Can Octavia unlock the secrets to this confusing curse before time runs out?


I received an ARC to give an honest review.

I can see this series is going to be amazing just like all the other series. If you haven't read the previous book I would totally recommend it. That way you can learn more about Octavia and why she took this road trip. I have to say I found myself just a laughing with the whole nurse thing, like wasn't expecting that part of the story. I really like how Octavia can hold her own and though she has always taken care of herself she is always willing to help others. That just screams awesome hero status right there. I do eventually see that Octavia's stubbornness might hurt her in the future with Dina as it seems that Dina knows Octavia is bada** and might be a little bit worried about that. I really love the humor that is within this story not only with Octavia and what she gets herself into but also with Bacon. A necromancer carrying around a pet pig like it is something normal just screams out laughter. Another thing I liked within the book was that while Octavia is trying to get answers for herself she is also helping people that needs it. I can't wait to dive into the next book. Wake the Dead is a quick novella that you can sit down and devour with 30 minutes to an hour!

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview. I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read. If you click on the link you can read my review. What truly pulled me to requesting the book was the cover. I know, I know, you should never just get a book by its cover but you know sometimes the cover catches your eye and you just have to read it. I was very happy and surprised to have the author contact me. I think in all my requesting from NetGalley I have had maybe two authors contact me. So I jumped on the chance to interview Mrs. Polen. Check out her interview and enter into the giveaway that she was kind enough to do.
