I love this whimsical world so much, it's urban fantasy, it's western and it's marvelous. I wondered what the plot would be now there are no longer any zombies. I won't say anything else but it's another mysterious crime solving scenario with a new couple who have been partners for a long time.

The friends to lovers romance of these two whose lives are so intertwined; they're neighbors, they're work partners and their families have been intermingled since infancy, they have so much more to lose to make that leap outside of friendship. It was angsty and sweet, the hero is pure sugar. 

We're in the heroine's head for this one and I resonate with her struggles of the changing female body and motherhood. It hit very close to home and bless her for navigating all that on top of the craziness that's happening in Tanria.

Thanks to Little, Brown Book Group and NetGalley for the review copy and this is my honest review.
