Fresh characters and an utterly unique atmosphere combine to create a literary journey that enthralls the reader from the first page.

Dead Jack and the Soul Catcher by James Aquilone was received direct from the publisher. This is my second Dead Jack book and they haven't slowed down just yet. The book picks up somewhat after the first one but is a stand alone book, you don't need to read them in order if you don't want to. Anyway, the one liners keep coming, the new and unusual creature inhabitants keep annoying (and assisting) Dead Jack, the zombie detective, and the book never slows down into anything resembling inane drivel. If any of this sounds interesting to you or possibly to someone you buy gifts for, grab this one up as it is better than I can describe.

5 stars

This book continues on in much the same vein as the first, although I did overall find it a bit more enjoyable. Probably more of a 3.5 but not quite enough to bump it up to a 4, although the next book could very well get to that point because they are definitely getting better as they go.

This book sees Jack trying to fix up Oswald after the events of the previous book as well as confronting the Nazi scientists from his past. He brings some new friends along for the ride [Lucifer shows up periodically as well, although I definitely wouldn't classify him as a 'friend'] and also an old friend in the shape of my personal favorite character - Zara!

Honestly I used to think books with Nazis as the villains were so lazy and overdone because like ...of course they're evil! They're Nazis! But sadly recent real world events have caused me to rethink how obvious that is to many people, and now I'm 500% here for any book where Nazis are getting punched in the face. This one definitely applies ;)

Dead Jack and the Soul Catcher by James Aquilone is a NetGalley book I requested and the review is voluntary. This book is a blast. A zombie PI, a skeleton in a zoot suit, a witch, and a doll like creature that is so powerful that everyone is after him. These are the main characters and they have some interesting characters after them like Nazi zombies, demons, and more. It is clever, witty, and very humorous. I didn't read book one but I wasn't lost at all reading this. I won't miss the next one!
