Explanation As Books Grave Sight (Harper Connelly #1)
Grave Sight (Harper Connelly Mysteries, Book 1) Harper Connelly has what you might call a strange job: she finds dead people. She can sense the final location of a person who's passed, and share their very last moment. The way Harper sees it, she's providing a service to the dead while bringing some closure to the living - but she's used to most people treating her like a blood-sucking leech. Traveling with her step-brother Tolliver as manager and sometime-bodyguard, she's become an expert at getting in, getting paid, and getting out fast. Because for the living it's always urgent - even if the dead can wait forever.

**2015 Reading Challenge W/Josh: #42 A Book You Own But Never Read**Great book! Harper was struck with lightening when she was young. Since then she has sort of a beacon that directs her to dead bodies. Once close enough she can see how that specific person died and see their last moments. Though she can't ever see the murderer (if the person was murdered). So she is called out to this small town to find a body of a girl that went missing a while back. While on the job lots of questionable shitI wanted to read something light and entertaining, so Charlaine Harris seemed like a good idea. I got the book for free at one of those book exchange-places. Also, I loved Sookie Stackhause, but havent read anything again after that unsatisfactory ending Well, here we are:Harper Connelly sees dead people and is otherwise as boring as can be she generally has no interest in solving murder mysteries and weirdly depends on her stepbrother for reasons unknown. I guess I got to read what I wanted:
3.5 stars! Ok, I'm going to be nice and round this up to 4 stars. My reasoning? I LOATHED, HATED Dead Until Dark by this author. I used to be Tru Blood obsessed (the television series) and the book series was a huge let down.So when my manager/boss who doesn't read PNR or urban fantasy very often told me that this was a guilty pleasure series, I HAD to read it. Plus this sounded like an adult version of the Meg Cabot (Jenny Carroll) series 1-800-WHERE-R-U, a series I grew up on and loved. When
Ive been meaning to reread this for years, albeit the fact it was very quick and easy to read, and the whole finding dead bodies thing is really cool, this book isnt great. I remember loving the story and the characters before but having reread it now Ive realized how bland the main characters are and how ridiculous the rest of the side characters are. The plot itself is really simple, more of a mystery thriller than any sort of paranormal read, I wish the main characters ability had been used
Harper, the ghost whisperer, and her brother, Tolliver, are close. Too close. Creepy close. Co-dependent, strange sexual tension, WTF close.Some things just shouldn't beThankfully, we find out that they are not actually siblings, but that their parents married each other when they were teens. Totally different story. In that case, I say, "Just go ahead and do it already. Then, instead of being the creepy siblings you can be the creepy couple that call each other "brother" and "sister". Yeah,
I really liked Harris' Sookie Stackhouse, so I thought I'd give this series a try. It's pretty good. The world is ours - no vampires or other fantasy creatures in this book. Harper, like Sookie, has a limited paranormal ability - she can find dead people & see them, along with the few seconds of their death. The limitations of her 'gift' make the story more interesting.As a heroine, I didn't like Harper as well as Sookie. She's not a happy girl, more depressed & dwelling on her past too
I have never read a Charlaine Harris book. I did not (and probably won't) read her Sookie Stackhouse series because a) I discovered them when my vampire paranormal reading enjoyment was seriously on the wane and 2)I really like the Alan Ball version of her books on HBO. So I prefer to stick with the televised series and not read the books. I hadn't realized until very recently that she wrote other series. I saw a blurb on the most recent Harper Connelly book and it looked very interesting so I
