REVIEW – THE REBURIALISTS BY J.C. NELSON

the reburialists cover
The author of Wish Bound and the Grimm Agency novels returns with an all-new urban fantasy novel!

Burying the dead is easy. Keeping them down is difficult.

At the Bureau of Special Investigations, agents encounter all sorts of paranormal evils. So for Agent Brynner Carson, driving a stake through a rampaging three-week-old corpse is par for the course. Except this cadaver is different. It’s talking—and it has a message about his father, Heinrich.

The reanimated stiff delivers an ultimatum written in bloody hieroglyphics, and BSI Senior Analyst Grace Roberts is called in to translate. It seems that Heinrich Carson stole the heart of Ra-Ame, the long-dead god of the Re-Animus. She wants it back. The only problem is Heinrich took the secret of its location to his grave.

With the arrival of Ra-Ame looming and her undead army wreaking havoc, Brynner and Grace must race to find the key to stopping her. It’s a race they can’t afford to lose, but then again, it’s just another day on the job . . .

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.

THE REBURIALISTS is a whirlwind of action! J.C. Nelson does a remake on the zombie genre and Egyptian folklore. Brynner Carson is the son of Heinrich Carson, who wrote the book on how to handle a Re-Animus. Grace Roberts is an analyst and a skeptic of magic. When she is partnered with Brynner Carson to study and translate his Father’s journals to find a way to the heart of the Re-ANIMUS. His Father has hidden the heart, and now Brynner must find it the heart of Re-Ame, the daughter of the Pharaoh. They must find this heart to give her eternal death. While doing this Brynner and Grace become very close, and when her life is threatened he has to keep her safe. I loved this book and the characters of Brynner and Grace. I have read J.C. Nelson’s other works and loved them. I like his writing style and the worlds he creates. If you have not read any of J.C. Nelson, I urge you to do so. I give THE REBURIALIST 5/5 STARS.

REVIEW- WISH BOUND( A GRIMM AGENCY NOVEL) BY J.C. NELSON


From the author of Armageddon Rules, the fanciful and fun continuation of the Grimm Agency novels…

As a partner at Grimm’s magical Agency, Marissa Locks is used to working odd jobs. But when an evil queen reappears in Kingdom, life becomes too strange to handle…

Even when she’s not starting it, trouble follows Marissa everywhere. First there was the incident with the homicidal Fairy Godmother. Then there was the time she accidentally started Armageddon. But the problems that always seem to arise on Marissa’s birthday take the cake.

This year, her annual bad-luck presents include an army of invading goblins, the resurrection of two vengeful enemies from hell, and the return of the Black Queen, the evil sorceress whose reign of terror still haunts Kingdom and who happens to have claimed Marissa as her servant.

As Marissa’s friends try to save her from the Black Queen’s clutches, Marissa fights to end a bitter war that started before her birth. But her quest for peace is about to bring up some inconvenient truths about her own past—ones that might cost her the happily ever after she’s always dreamed of…

WISH BOUND is a whirlwind of action.  The characters and the story line are well-developed. It is Marissa’s birthday and anytime she is thrown a party and cake is involved bad things happen. So, she tries to avoid her birthday at all cost. When a routine mission brings her face to face with the Black Queen, she cannot say no to becoming her handmaiden. Everyone around her is in trouble, if she cannot stop the Black Queen. If she can stop an Armageddon, she should be able to stop her. This is such a great story! Marissa has grown so much since the series has first started, and her snarky comments are great. In this story also she will find out something about her background that will change everything that she thought she knew about herself. I cannot wait for more of Marissa. I give WISH BOUND 5/5 STARS, and recommend it to everyone.

URBAN FANTASY BOOK REVIEW-FREE AGENT BY J.C. NELSON

Book Description
Publication Date: July 29, 2014
When it comes to crafting happily-ever-afters, the Agency is the best in the land of Kingdom. The Fairy Godfather Grimm can solve any problem—from eliminating imps to finding prince charming—as long as you can pay the price…

Working for Grimm isn’t Marissa Locks’s dream job. But when your parents trade you to a Fairy Godfather for a miracle, you don’t have many career options. To pay off her parents’ debt and earn her freedom, Marissa must do whatever Grimm asks, no matter what fairy-tale fiasco she’s called on to deal with.

Setting up a second-rate princess with a first-class prince is just another day at the office. But when the matchmaking goes wrong, Marissa and Grimm find themselves in a bigger magical muddle than ever before. Not only has the prince gone missing, but the Fae are gearing up to attack Kingdom, and a new Fairy Godmother is sniffing around Grimm’s turf, threatening Marissa with the one thing she can’t resist: her heart’s wishes.

Now Marissa will have to take on Fairies, Fae, dragons, and princesses to save the realm—or give up any hope of ever getting her happy ending…

FREE AGENT is a fast paced fairy tale urban fantasy. The story line and character development  is well-developed. I loved the fast pacing of the story. Marissa was given to Grimm(Fairy-Godfather) in exchange to help Marissa’s little sister. Now things go to hell when Marissa goes on a routine exchange with the werewolves, and she ends up freeing all the hostages at the werewolf village. While doing that she saves a child who is Fae. This starts a chain of events that leaves Marissa trying to stay alive. She charms a guy that she thinks is her target , aka a prince,  but is really a regular guy. She is trying to save his life when he comes up missing, all while keeping the Princess alive. This book has a lot of great spots that will have you laughing the whole time. I cannot wait to see what book 2 has to offer. I give FREE AGENT 5/5 stars.
