The Wicked & The Dead
The Wicked & The Dead | Melissa Marr
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
In near-future New Orleans, draugar, again-walkers, are faster and stronger than most humans, but not venomous until they are a century old. Until then, they shamble and bite. Since not everyone wants to see their relatives end up that way, Geneviève Crowe makes her living beheading the dead. But now, her magic’s gone sideways, and the only person strong enough to help her is the one man who could tempt her to think about picket fences: Eli Stonecroft, a faery who chose to be a bar-owner in New Orleans rather than live in Elphame. Then human businessmen start turning up as draugar. Suddenly, the queen of the again-walkers and the wealthy son of one of the victims, both hire Geneviève to figure it out. She works to keep her magic in check, the dead from crawling out of their graves, and enough money for a future that might be a lot longer than she’d like. Neither her heart nor her life are safe now that she’s juggling a faery, murder, and magic. “I loved The Wicked and The Dead! A sassy, ass-kicking heroine, a deliciously mysterious fae hero, and a wonderful mix of action and romance. Add that to Melissa's usual great world-building, and I'm already looking forward to book 2!" – Jeaniene Frost, NYT Bestselling Author

Great heroine, sizzling romance, and a unique take on zombies/vampires. I read Marr's Wicked Lovely series back when I was a teen and was happy to discover she has this adult urban fantasy series.

Mehso-so

I read this in a day. That isn‘t to say it was so good I couldn‘t put it down. I just decided to spend a lazy day reading. I was hoping for something along the lines of Patricia Briggs, Karen Marie Moning, or Layla Nash. I did not get what I wanted. It was a decent read, but I wasn‘t in love with the main character. It tried too hard. It‘s not bad, but not really worth it either.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I hunted for my old Moning books from the Highlander series. I don't remember anything other than I liked them. Thanks to a hot wrestler I have been thinking I need to get back to reading about some smutty Scotsmen. 4y
Kmacwiththepaperback Her books are some of the ones I refuse to release from my library. I would reread them. 4y
