When the Dead Come Home is book 8 in the series and I can't believe it! You MUST read these in order. There is a lot of world building that has gone into the series and you would be lost if you tried to jump in at this point.
Ok, so here are a few of my notes while reading When the Dead Come Home:
- What is happening to Miles? He was my favorite guy up until this book. Now, he is a jackass.
- How do these people get employed in schools? Jadis shows up and must do magic to trick the school into hiring her as a guidance counselor.
- Dylan's back again. I knew he was trouble. Also, kinda sad.
- Poor Riley! Oh my gosh! I mean, she was a jerk to Alexis about the whole polyamory thing, but no one deserves that.
- There is sex in this book!! And one of the guys is kind of kinky!
- So many POVs: Alexis (of course), but also all 5 of the guys, Rory, Jessica, Tara, and even Jadis. Holy moly!
- The Veil is open and we figure out who closed it (which also leads to who has been stealing souls)
Overall, this was a phenomenal addition to the series. When the Dead Come Home has a LOT going on, but you are so invested in everything, you gobble it up. I can't wait to see where Brunnemer takes the series because she keeps surprising me!
I have enjoyed this entire series in audio and will continue to do so! Elizabeth Hart and Nelson Hobbs do a wonderful job. Hart has unique "male" voices for each of the guys and it's so important in a story with 5 love interests!
- POV: multiple 1st
- Tears: no
- Trope: reverse harem, witches, shifters, vampires, necromancers
- Triggers: One character is physically and sexually assaulted by her boyfriend (sexual assault doesn't happen on page)
- Series/Standalone: series
- Cliffhanger: YES! So many questions!
- HEA: With the exception of Miles, Lexi is in a good place with all the guys and their relationship feels solid
other paranormal RH reads like The Power of Five by Alex Lidell, Brothers of the Flame by Mary Martel, Legacy by LJ Swallow ...then you will probably like When the Dead Come Home!
