Review: Happily Undead In Dark River (Dark River Days Series Book 2) by Grace McGinty

Happily Undead In Dark River Happily Undead In Dark River by Grace McGinty
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Excellent Follow Up Book

I’d probably give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I looked forward to the follow up eagerly. I am not disappointed. Grace McGinty has written an engaging, sexy and interesting book. I love the concept of a small town of vampires who don't feed from live humans, but only drink bagged blood.

Raine is enjoying living her new little cottage and is working for the Sheriff’s office now her friend has closed her shop. Raine’s maker, Alice, was a popular figure in the town of Dark River and they are making her feel guilty for her execution, despite her being the victim.

Raine has plenty of affection from her mate Tex, Brody the alpha shapeshifter, Judge the ex-vampire enforcer and Walker the Vampire Sheriff. She is hoping the town settles down and accepts her once again, but until then, she has her men and a couple of other people who don’t blame her for something that is not her fault. Then X, Judge’s friend from his enforcer days, turns up in the diner injured and bleeding with news that the Vampire Council is coming.

There are several strands to this story, with problems from the Vampire Council, but also the shapeshifters, as there are consequences for Brody spending so much time away from Pack Lands, however all these problems give us more insights into the current and past lives of the men in Raine’s life.

I like the pace of this author’s writing. She mixes up the light hearted with the emotional and serious, with a deft hand. The characters are well thought out and though consistent aren’t necessarily predictable.

I can’t wait for another book in this series as there was an interesting peek into what’s coming next in the last chapter.
