Welcome to Litsy!

I could almost see myself being in this book because I love cemeteries and graveyards so much, and I see ‘ghosts‘ too, though they are nothing like the ones in this book. When our main character is asked to help with a case due to her profession, she finds herself breaking all the rules her father taught her and must decide if it is worth finding answers she and others seek.

My funeral begins in an hour.
I‘m pretty sure I‘m going to miss it. Right now I‘m sitting on the motel rooftop, looking down on an almost-empty parking lot.

A solid found AND birth family book with some non-scary ghost stuff thrown in. Lots of Jewish culture and experience as well. A great #queer #trans romance! #summerreading #summerjob

Sue Tingey‘s debut romantasy novel (the first in a trilogy) was sadly not my cup of tea. Hampered by a passive main character who repeatedly makes stupid decisions for the purposes of advancing the plot, an insipid potential love triangle (the main love interest being grotesquely manipulative) and a lazy, cod medieval demon world that offers little new. At best it was dull and at worst it really irritated me such that I will not be reading on.

The true appeal of the book was learning about the establishments where the stories take place and the vibe of the city. He also does a thorough job of fact-checking and debunking a number of the Quarter‘s myths and legends to include Madame LaLaurie, Marie Laveau, and the Laffite brothers. Most of the ghost stories are pretty mild. I enjoyed this though as it gives great descriptions of the city. I even added a few stops during my time there!

3✨ Trigger warnings for suicide and bullying. Marjorie is back with Wendell and we meet Mr Duncan‘s daughter. She doesn‘t really fit in with the popular crowd that Marjorie is hanging out with. She is interested in photography and ghosts. Marjorie befriends her, but only when the popular kids aren‘t around. This was deeply emotional and can show how you can help someone facing deep depression by the end.
