Review of 'Grave Reservations' on 'Goodreads'

Its fine. It's not a bad book. It's not a good book, but it's a fun simple light weight read. And often that's what I want.
I had some trouble with the editing, some phrases or words that not only don't add anything, but are kinda jarring. Something like "he reminds me of Joe Biden. But without the hair sniffing".
It is very clearly set in Seattle, and the author likes the city, but some of the name dropping was a little weird. Everyone else worked at made up companies, except one who worked at Amazon, and one at Starbucks. Again. Not bad just felt jarring.

Overall I wouldn't tell anyone to avoid this book, and it may be exactly what you are looking for, but I think there's better books out there.
