| In
a world where the dead rarely rest in peace, the Bureau of
Special Investigations takes care of those reanimated corpses
that come back looking for blood, but things have changed.
Suddenly, the dead don't just walk, they talk as well, and
they're all calling for the BSI's best operative Brynner Carson.
To understand what the reanimated want, Brynner must work
with Senior Analyst Grace Roberts to translate a bizarre combination
of hieroglyphics. But both Brynner and Grace have secrets
that complicate an already deadly situation. I loved the unusual
world building of The Reburialists, which carries the book
well beyond the stale zombie novel. The romantic elements
felt a bit uneven to me, and I'm not a huge fan of books that
switch between male and female characters. But for me, those
were the only missed notes in a deeply enjoyable novel. I
loved the action and touch of Egyptian flare to the undead.
I also loved several of the "minor" characters,
including Brynner's family and the amazing fighter, Amy Rust.
Amy especially added so much to every page where she appeared.
Having read some of this author's Grimm Agency novels, I was
expecting to like this new book and it's totally different
world, and I did. If you like a good undead novel that gives
humans the credit they're due, The Reburialists is
well worth your time. |
