Grave submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 17, 2013, 9:58pm If you've enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse books, you'll also love Charlaine Harris' other supernatural mystery series, this one about Harper. Harper was struck by lightening many years ago and, as a result, has the psychic ability to find corpses and know how they died. She solves numerous murders as a result with the help of her former step-brother Tolliver, who is now her boyfriend. The two visit their younger sisters (although it's not clear if the girls are Harper and Tolliver's half-sisters or something else) who are being raised by other relatives. None of the extended family members approve and Harper and Tolliver's relationship change.

As this is the last in the series, I recommend reading the first three to understand what's happening, especially the relationship between the characters.

The novel takes some very unexpected (and at times unbelievable) plot twists, but [SPOILER ALERT] it has a much-wanted happy ending.

This book does not contain vampire, werewolves, fairies or any other supernatural creatures besides the psychic herself. If you are looking for more of the Sookie Stackhouse books but with different characters, this one will disappoint you. If you are able to keep an open mind, though, you'll likely enjoy this one.
