Grace Coffin #2
Grace Coffin and the Undertakers
Southwest Harbor, Maine is the perfect coastal village, complete with Goth Rock-playing teens, zealous Christian school administrators, and Undead denizens.
As Grace and Oliver pursue their dream to start a band, their songs attract unwanted attention from the Christian Right and the Undead Left, embroiling them in a sinister plot to bring down the veil between the living and the dead.
Grace’s Undead neighbor Cormac journeys to Mount Hope, Bangor’s historic cemetery, to collect his wife’s bones. He finds much more than he bargained for, enduring a grueling gauntlet of trials in order to return home in time to help his friends survive the Maine Monster Mash, a Halloween battle of Goth Rock bands.
In the second book of the Grace Coffin series, Winter Fox’s unlikely heroes help each other over the hurdles presented by life (and death) with humor, grit, and a little luck.
Where the first Grace novel, "The Badly-Sewn Corpse" dealt with the theme of surviving sexual assault and harassment, the second book in the Grace Coffin series tackles censorship and free speech, as Grace and Oliver's band wants to play for their high school's commencement ceremony. Their conflict comes to a smashing conclusion as local church organizers try to put a stop to a Goth Rock battle of the bands.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book
When I finished the first book in the series I couldn't wait to read the next ... and I wasn't disappointed. The storyline may be a little unusual but it is very well written, even humourous places. The two main characters, Cormac (a dead guy) and Grace ((a troubled teenager turned tock star) take it in turns, a chapter each, to narrate the story. It starts with Cormac looking for the bones of his dead wife and ends ... well, read it for yourself to find out how it ends. I couldn't put it down.

Grace and the other characters are so well written that I hope this series continues for many more books! Colorful descriptions and humorous dialog make sure the reader is entertained from beginning to end. Well done!

Second in the series and I did enjoy it overall, however there is a lot of waffle in these books, sometimes it feels like the drama never stops.
It seems like event after event after event happens which doesn’t leave much space for character development or storylines to deepen.
Overall enjoyable but too much going on - 3 ⭐️
