This Morning I Woke Up Dead
by Mindy Larson
This Morning I woke up Dead was a really interesting read. I am happy to see that this is going to be a series because the book initially explores the concept of three different realms of living and dead. It introduces a concept of a pre-earth. But once the idea of the afterlife is laid out, the story of Hadley and Dominic kind of take over and we don't really get to explore the ideas of pre-earth and earth again. So I would really like some more information about the different realms in the next book. But I didn't even realize that we didn't get more information about them until after I was done reading the book, because I was so swept up in the story of Hadley and Dominic.
The book is told in dual narrative between the two of them and I loved that. That is quickly becoming my preferred method of narration. I just love switching back and forth between the guy and the girl and getting the story from each of their unique perspectives. And in This Morning I Woke up Dead it was even more unique because Hadley and Dominic were in different realms of existence. The story includes numerous flash backs throughout and that was a good method for the story because we got to know more about Hadley and Dominic's relationship, ad well as learning back stories on Hadley's "guide" Logan and Dominic's sister helped make the story seem more complete. I liked how effortlessly Mindy Larson made everything flow. The book never felt disjointed and it was full of emotion.
Right from the very first Dominic chapter, I was hooked. He was so sad. This Morning I woke up Dead definitely drums up some emotion. Dominic struggles through so much of the book. I felt so bad for him. He was dealing with the loss of his finance and you could tell they had such a great relationship through their flashbacks. We got to see how they met and what they did. It was really cute. Their relationship did almost seem a little too perfect. I thought since the author made frequent use of flashbacks that she could have thrown in a short fight or hardship that they had to make the relationship seem more realistic, but even without that you could tell that these two shared a special kind of bond.
This Morning I woke up Dead was a really good read. I can't wait to check out the next book and see what is going to happen next. I hope we get to learn more about pre-earth and the concept of the realms and of twin flames. This book is an emotional journey for all of the characters and for the reader. It takes you through some tough times, but Mindy Larson does an excellent job. I really enjoyed this story.
