Like the first book, this one is focused around the consequences of Harper using her strange gift for finding the dead and knowing how they died. That the Harper Connelly books are not what they seem becomes apparent in this, the second book in the series. The cover art for this book was awesome! :) ( ) But, if Harper has sex with her brother.I am closing the book, washing my eyeballs, and giving it a DNF at that point. In fact, I have just added book 3 to my 'currently reading'' list. I am definitely going to read the final two books in this series. But, I suppose if I was struck by lightning and found dead bodies for a living I would be a bit strange, too. I do wish that Harper were a bit less of an anxiety-ridden, whiney, wack-a-doo sometimes though. I enjoy the series, even if the relationship between the two main characters is a bit disconcerting at times. No spoilers.but something was revealed in this book that pretty much moved those feelings from anxiety to full-on creepy-uggo-icky.īut, the ickiness is not bad enough for me to stop reading the books. While it is true that they are just is still creepy that they seem to have a weird, inappropriate dependency on each other. And this book did nothing to relieve my anxiety.

In my review of book 1 Grave Sight, I commented that the relationship between Harper and her brother seems a bit.odd. Who killed the girl? Why was she buried inside a grave in the cemetery? Once again Harper and Tolliver are pulled into a murder investigation, and police are starting to suspect maybe they had something to do with it. Harper discovers that a 100-year old grave in the cemetery is hiding a newer, second body, a girl missing for 18 months. Clyde Nunley, teaches the class, 'An Open Mind: Experiences Outside the Box'' but the Professor is still surprised when Harper's talent proves to be genuine. In this 2nd novel, Harper and Tolliver have been called to Memphis to give a demonstration at a cemetery for a local college. She is often the victim of ridicule and threats because of her 'talent,'' and often she is made to feel like a con artist for charging money for her services. She travels with her brother Tolliver all over the United States to help find bodies of missing persons and murder victims.

She survived, but ever since then she can find dead bodies.

Harper Connelly was struck by lightning when she was a teenager. Grave Surprise is the 2nd of 4 books in the Harper Connelly series.
