A Hard Day's Fright by Casey DanielsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was SO delightful!
I first started reading the Pepper Martin books about 5 years ago, when I was going through some harsh life crises, and she gave me a laugh and perked me up.
As a fashion-loving, status-aware, former silver-spoon-fed child who now struggles to make ends meet as she holds down her job as a cemetery tour guide, who also see restless spirits of the dead, Pepper is NOT high literature. However, it is so much fun, perfect summer reading or for a little pick-me-up.
Well, after a few years' hiatus, I found myself over-saturated by dark, depressing thrillers, and was feeling like something lighter.
Enter, Pepper! I remembered the Casey Daniels' characters (I'd read the first four books), and reading the summary for Hard Day's Fright, I thought it would be a good, fun read. I was right!
We get Pepper, who is developing more and more as a character, and is way smarter than she lets on. Dear readers, do not think she is a dumb, shallow chick. She talks about how she never paid attention in her English class, but she sure can use the vocab and mock the establishment.
We get a good cast of our other regular characters, although her detective / former boyfriend, does not figure prominently as they've broken up. He does make a comeback, though.
This is just a good, fun read, with Pepper and her friends getting into scrapes, getting the back guy, and not letting life get them down!
