Review
Dearly, Departed is a well rounded story, it has romance, action, an interesting story, characters you can relate to and a good plot. One of the things I loved about this story is that we get a full picture of what is happening because we get to experience different points of view, each adding a little something extra to the story. Maybe it is a living dead p.o.v. versus the human, or how things are moving on different places in the story, but you don't get lost between who you are reading and how this impacts the rest of the story.
I really want to thank the people that made it possible for me to read this book via Netgalley, I had been told that this book was a lot like twilight and because I'm not really a Twilight fan that this would be a book I wouldn't enjoy, thank you very much for giving me the chance to read it and see how wrong those people where.
If you want me to be completely honest the whole zombie ♥ human thing was to bizarre for me to digest, but Lia Habel found a way to make it work. You get to see in the story how perfect these two people are to each other if just one of them wasn't dead, Bram personality helps a lot when coping with the relationship, he just has a way of making it less awkward.
If you ever get a chance to read this book, please tell me your thoughts.
