🖤🌶️ Spicy Book Recs!

Caveat: I am not typically a romance reader, but I took one for the team due to the nature of these books.

And wow. I was pleasantly surprised!

Megan Montgomery’s Last Responders series consists of Morgue To Love (focusing on a medical examiner and a homicide detective) and the soon-to-be-released Undertaking Love (featuring the medical examiner’s brother and her best friend, both of whom are morticians). There’s a third book in the works about their other bestie, a forensic anthropologist.

First… these are FULL stories with actual plots and great characters. They’re not just vehicles to get two characters together. Megan weaves in so many (ACCURATE) details about what it’s like to work in death care. I connected with so many of their experiences, from feeling called out as a rookie funeral director attending conferences in cheap suits to the extreme burnout of perfectly handling horrible situations day after day. Bonus: Megan adds in conversations about up and coming green funeral options like water cremation!

As I said before, I’m not romance reader. I didn’t mind these books at all though since there was plenty of other material to keep me enthralled. The hot and bother-y parts are indeed hot and bother-y, but they’re not eye rolling or weird. FYI the spice level is pretty high, and the second book strays into some very non-vanilla territory.

I received an advance copy of the second book so I could do some fact checking, but rest assured that I’m promoting these of my own free will. I thoroughly enjoyed these two books and am early awaiting the third!

⚰️ Morgue To Love
Medical Examiner + Homicide Detective
(these characters reminded me of the tv show Bones and includes neurodivergence)
Available now at https://amzn.to/3okC1R0

⚰️Undertaking Love
Rival funeral director/embalmers, enemies to lovers (Reminds me of Six Feet Under + 50 Shades. It touches on the personal struggles many morticians face, plus it features cool green funeral options.)

#AmReading: All the Living and the Dead:

From Embalmers to Executioners, an Exploration of the People Who Have Made Death Their Life's Work

By Hayley Campbell

Real talk: I was hesitant when I first saw this book because I knew it had the potential to sensationalize or demonize the funeral profession. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Hayley interviewed exceptional people and portrayed them accurately. Phew!

She didn’t shy away from the graphic nature of each person’s occupation, but she also kept it within a professional context. I appreciate her efforts to shine a light on the workers people prefer to ignore and prove that we’re compassionate and empathetic rather than a flock of vultures (fun fact: it’s actually called a “wake” of vultures).

As a funeral director and embalmer, I highly recommend this book. Everyone ought to know a bit about what happens behind closed doors before passing a broad judgement based on stereotypes.

FYI, this book covers the duties of workers in the USA and UK. Practices and laws vary by location. Here’s the book’s blurb:

“A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and the people―morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, embalmers, executioners―who work in it and what led them there.

We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what we’re so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look?

Fueled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.”

It's Day 12 of #DecRecs, and sometimes you just need something fabulously silly and hilarious, so I'm recommending Marie Cardno's novella How to Get a Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster): https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4837449300

Read my full review for all the quirky details, but - it's just SO wacky and funny, and it made me laugh a lot! I loved reading it.
