Working Stiff: The impossible-to-put-down urban fantasy series (Revivalist)

by Rachel Caine

A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE FROM THE NUMBER ONE UK BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES SERIES
What if death could be cured by a drug? What if you needed that drug every day ... or death would reclaim you? It's not hypothetical to Bryn Davis. It's her so-called life.
Bryn Davis is new on the job as a funeral director, but even she knows that once you're dead, you ought to stay that way. But Fairview Mortuary has a hidden backroom business: resurrecting the dead for profit, at extortionate rates.
Discovering her boss's secret may cost Bryn more than her life . . . it may just take away her death, too.

Reviews

Bryn Davis left the army and became a funeral director. The idea of helping people with their dead appealed to her. It's people she sometimes has problems with. The job with Fairview Mortuary isn't bad until she discovers that her bosses have a sideline and that sideline is a killer.
Dying is a big enough problem, the corporation who developed the drug are a much bigger problem. She has to work out how to stay alive and how to keep the corporation from getting too much power.

Bryn was a believable character and I liked Patrick and Reily. I also really liked that Reily was married and his marriage was stable, instead of the usual two men dilemma prevalent in paranormal fiction at the moment.

I enjoyed this one, it's a different twist on the story. Another zombie story that I didn't hate this year... I'm looking forward to more about this series.
