How to Bury the Undead: A Cadence Galloway Mystery
After reducing a vampire to ashes by staking it in a New Orleans cemetery, Cadence Galloway finds a business card among the dusty remains. To her surprise, it’s for a lawyer in Wickerman Falls, California, the home of her knotted family history. With this cryptic clue in hand and armed with her own brand of magic, Cady travels to the city, hoping to finally unravel the questions about her past. Taking a job at a nearby cemetery, she quickly becomes aware of the active afterlife of the deceased. Thanks to her ability to talk to ghosts, she learns of the vandalism at an abandoned church. Her curiosity piqued, she investigates and soon uncovers evidence that vampires are responsible. And after finding the vampires’ nest in the basement of a long-forgotten house, she realizes she that needs help from the living. With every answer she unearths, Cady discovers that her past has more buried secrets than the cemetery she works in and that her personal mystery is intertwined in local history.

This supernatural story is my kind of spooky.
Magical elements add to the depth of powerful characters, and J.J. Brown creates a paranormal world where ghosts and vampires are believable residents in Sleepy Eye Cove, California. Her careful word choices and thoughtful descriptions are testaments to her talent as a writer.
A strong, female, first-person narrator guides the reader back and forth in time as revealing details shape the story. Other characters creatively and creepily contribute as the fiction unfolds.
Action-packed suspense and mystery kept me reading into the night. With Halloween on the horizon, I invite you to check out this book.
Thanks for supporting independently published authors. The novel is available to order online where books are sold, and it’s offered as an ebook on Kindle. I can’t wait for the sequel!
