Meka is used to death. After all, it's the family business.

As a newly certified mortician’s assistant at her parents’ funeral home, her days are not for the faint of heart. Luckily her boyfriend Noah isn’t squeamish, and Meka is finally feeling ready to say the three little words that will change everything.

But then tragedy strikes, and Meka’s world is torn apart. Nothing makes sense, especially the strange things start happening. Ravens are circling her home. Strangers are following her. Someone is leaving mysterious items at her door. And worst of all . . .

The dead don’t seem to be staying dead.

I picked up this book mainly because the cover really drew me in.

The narrator kept me intrigued until she switched to the monster’s voice, The storyline was executed well overall, though some sections dragged and could have been trimmed

3.5⭐️

This was a Frankenstein retelling and my first Kalynn Bayron read, and honestly, I liked it! It was a solid spooky season pick, even though it dragged a bit in some parts. The audio was just okay, but the cover, was absolutely gorgeous. This was the main reason I wanted to read this book. The story follows Meka , a newly certified mortician’s assistant working at her parents funeral home. But then weird things start happening, and she realizes the family business is way more complicated than she thought, and It’s up to her to figure out the secrets.
