The Hawthorne Funeral
Home finances are a mess. Why? Because Amber Hawthorne is a worthless
crapmonkey who lets her friend Jolene Morris do all the work trying to keep it
afloat while Amber parties and drugs it up. Morons, the both of them. So, when
Amber’s dealer clues her in on a money making business (a highly illegal one of
course) Amber jumps at the chance. Before she can make a decent argument to
Jolene why it’s a good business decision, former physician-now-mob-doctor Frank
Goode drops their first customer in their lap. Almost literally. They’re in the
body part business now, for better or worse. *pssst: it’s worse
Ok, I know this is
mostly about Amber and Jolene and how they got mixed up in a black market body
parts deal, but the star of the show is Frank. Oh my, Frank. Did you ever see
the CSI episode Loco Motives where the guy Max gets himself stuck in cement while
disposing of his wife’s dead body? Frank is Max. Except a whole lot of mob is
involved and blood. Sweet Baby Jane, this book is bloody. And that ending? Gah!
While it’s a fast-paced page turner, it seemed a little too cliché at times for
me. However, it is most definitely entertaining.
