I'm really not great with critical reviews, so I will just have to gush about this novel instead.

To me, this book had a lot of great qualities. The plot was twisty and kept me guessing, and I can't wait to start the next book in the trilogy to see where this story goes from here.

The protagonists, Crow, Val, and Iron Mike Sweeney are well written characters who I'll be rooting for until the end. I have this strong feeling they'll need my support in the upcoming books. Life won't be easy for them in Pine Deep (not like it was a walk in the park for them in Ghost Road Blues).

And the Big Bads...gosh I hope they all burn in the deepest pits hell has for them, but I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

Just an awesome book that I will absolutely recommend to anyone who'll listen to pick it up and get to reading it!

Wow!

Dead Man's Song is the second novel in the Pine Deep Trilogy, and it continues this awesome story wonderfully. The bad guys' plans flesh out a bit more and the entire story is coming together really, really, really well. Of course, with seeing what the good guys have to face, I just felt so sorry for Crow, Val, and Iron Mike Sweeney. I hope they get some bones thrown their way in Bad Moon Rising, but I don't think that will be the case.

I do like the bits of humanity and regularity we see in a novel filled with all the evil that goes bump in the night. I personally love seeing Crow and Val's relationship together and how natural they are as a couple. I also love the relationship of Crow and Iron Mike together.

While I think the book needed a bit more editing, as I came across several typos, my eyes and brain easily reread those typos to what they were supposed to be, and I don't think it took away from the story or messed up my concentration while reading.

Overall, I thought this was a wonderful book 2, and I'm looking forward to reading Bad Moon Rising.
