Review:

In this debut novel by Dani Pettrey, Bailey Craig finds herself returning to her hometown of Yancey, Alaska to attend her aunt's funeral, who died in a plane crash. Coming back home is not easy thing to do as she had a bad reputation of being "easy" when she left. She turned her life around after leaving Yancey and now is a devoted Christian, but forgetting her past mistakes is a difficult thing to do.

While she is grieving for her sudden loss, she runs into an old flame, Cole McKenna. She broke the guy's heart years ago. Cole is now a devoted Christian himself, but he can't come to forgive Bailey for the way she treated him. He owns a successful business with his siblings and he also helps out with the local Search & Rescue crew as a diver.

Two more bizarre deaths occur and Cole suspects that the deaths are related to her aunt's murder. The police then determined that her aunt's plane was tampered with. Bailey and Cole work together to unravel the mystery that is behind the murders, but in order to this they must resolve their feelings for each other.

The Crescent Chronicles is a college age paranormal romance series. Flight takes place the summer before Allie starts her Freshman year, and Focus picks up with her first semester. I love writing about college age characters and I also love to watch movies and TV shows about them.

Here are a few of my favorites.

1) Felicity- I absolutely loved this show when I was in high school. I was so excited about college, and it just hit the spot.

2) Greek- I was out of college already when this one came on, but it was a guilty pleasure. I especially loved the brother-sister dynamic.

I’ve Been Deader Book One

Book Description: Being a zombie is no picnic and it's one hell of a handicap in the romance department when you fall in love with a 'breather': Aleta is a breather with short blonde hair and brown eyes - two of them! - and the whitest smile Fred has ever seen. Every day at a certain time she sits at her window, and every day he stands in the rubble across the street among a crowd of zombies waiting to break through the fence and eat her. 'You are beautiful, like an angel', he thinks, but all he can moan is, “Braaaiiinss." Still, as zombies go, Fred's quite a catch. Underneath all the gangrene and rot, Fred is different. This girl will probably turn out to be yet another dead end, an infatuation, someone whose image he cannot get out of his mind and whose taste he cannot get out of his mouth, but the heart wants what the heart wants. For breathers, it is always only a matter of time, however beautiful they are and whatever the government is assuring people. Which makes Fred sad because he has a beautiful 11 year old son called Timmy, and Timmy may still be alive.

Character Interview with Jon Tanner

Hiya!

My name is Jon Tanner, and I am what passes for the hero in “I’ve Been Deader.” I mean, it’s between me and a middle aged zombie so I guess you could say the fix was in. I’m in my late thirties, classically handsome and, according to some (may the rest in peace), a psychopath.

Yes, I’ve had my share of bad relationships with the dear departed. I may have abandoned the odd child or two to their certain demise. But when it comes to killing zombies, I’m the cat’s meow, baby.
