“I’m being stalked by a vengeful half-witch, my love life’s deader than I am, and now there’s a runaway vampire in my spare room. Eternity isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.”

Lilith O’Reilly just wants to be left alone to run her coffee shop on a quiet Liverpool back street. But you don’t choose the undead life—the undead life chooses you.

There’s something strange going on in the local cemetery, and it’s not just the sharply dressed ghost who likes to practise his stage moves amongst the gravestones. The local pharmacist is suspiciously interested in Lili’s vital signs and her cat is developing unnervingly human abilities.

And now there’s a voice in her head—a voice that definitely isn’t her own.

I love how Lil/Red is developed (no spoilers), the increase in the allies, the increase in the utter devilish behaviour of the baddies, and of course, Nick. I had my suspicions in book 1, and I'm glad I was right. :)
