Official Blurb:
Grier finally has the one thing she’s always wanted: Boaz
Pritchard. Too bad her dream boyfriend is keeping her up nights, just not in a
sweaty or fun way. Boaz has dialed down the Southern charm and stopped
returning her calls. His job forces him to keep secrets, but his radio silence
is cranking up her suspicions. He’s a shameless flirt, but he’s her shameless
flirt… right?
Soon an attack on Woolworth House leaves her
with bigger problems than he loves me, he loves me not. Vampires are on the
prowl, and they aren’t the only predators circling. A new threat has emerged,
one with blood rights to Grier. With enemies closing in on all sides, she must
choose her allies, and the decision could make or break her… and her
heart.
Sweet zombie Jesus. This book. No words. Like none. Nada.
Zip.
How to Break an Undead Heart not only is a fitting title for this book, but an
apt description of just how I felt after finishing it. My heart aches for Grier and the shattered
remains of her heart after a huge plot twist that left me reeling. It’s bad
enough that her best friend was a source of huge pain in the second book, but
now this? Had I been Grier, I’d have
probably locked myself inside of Woolly and become a recluse. I mean, hasn’t
she gone through enough? I’m talking to you, Hailey.
Now… Grier’s heart aside. Good riddance to the source of her broken heart. As I
mentioned in my review of the Undead Life, there was something about this
character that rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it was his insistence to throw
himself back into her life after her release or that he thought she was crumble
at his feet, but now, he’s not longer her problem. And, yes, it was heartbreaking to hear his
revelation, but at the same time, a part of me was screaming for joy. A little
sadistic? Maybe, but he was never going to make her happy. And now he too will
be unhappy for choosing family over here. But.. that does leave a chance for
someone else to come full circle in her life. A certain someone who’s character
development went through the roof as did my love for him. YAY! Happy dance!
Okay.. enough dancing, and back to the story.
Grier’s parentage has been mentioned quite a few times with speculation
as to why her powers are so different from other necromancers. And in this
book, we find out a little more regarding her mother’s side of the family. The
secrets run deep and aplenty. Though this story did see a lot of action, I feel
that it was more about developing Linus’s character and seeing a side of him
that we haven’t been able to see yet. It
was great, and when the explosive ending came, made so much sense.
Now… will a certain man mend her broken heart in the next
book? Can’t wait to find out!
