You're So Dead to Me

Grimdale Graveyard Mysteries, Book 1

By: Steffanie Holmes

Narrated by: Kylie Stewart, Joel Froomkin

What do you do when three hot, possessive ghosts want to jump your bones?

I'm Bree, and I see dead people. Not all dead people. Only those with unfinished business. They're everywhere—I'll be eating my breakfast, and a poisoned heiress glares over my Cheerios. I can't even enjoy the wilderness without being accosted by chattering ex-hikers who don't understand which mushrooms are edible.

I've returned to my hometown of Grimdale to cat-sit for my parents while I plan my next move. I'm looking forward to raiding their fridge, hanging out with their two mischievous kittens, and staying far, far away from anything supernatural.

But I forgot that I'm never alone in Grimdale. The three ghosts I used to play with as a kid are back in my life again. Only now I'm their age, and they're infuriatingly attractive.

There's the slightly psychotic Roman soldier who loves the Great British Bake Off, the bossy, aristocratic royal prince who demands the finer things in life (er, death), and the blind Victorian gentleman adventurer who doesn't have a mean bone in his body (or any bones, for that matter).

My three ghoulish houseguests are the least of my problems. I've landed a job giving tours of the historic Grimdale Cemetery, and on my very first day, I stumble into a fresh corpse. The dead guy's ghost needs me to solve his murder so he can cross over, but sticking my nose into spirit business might see me to an early grave.

As for my three hauntingly hot friends? It turns out their unfinished business… is me.

You're So Dead to Me is the first in a darkly humorous paranormal romance series by bestselling author Steffanie Holmes. If you love a sarcastic heroine, hot, possessive, and slightly unhinged ghostly men, a mystery to solve, and a little kooky, spooky lovin' to set your coffin a rockin', then quit ghouling around and start listening!

Excellent Read!

I love this author's spin on ghosts and how they communicate with spirits.. THIS one was definitely amazing!!

Overall, entertaining

Overall, this is an entertaining story with characters I am interested in. I enjoyed the humor and the plot. At least, most of it. I did think that the reader isn't really allowed to guess the murderer because there are not enough bread crumbs to lead the reader there. The story is mostly about the characters and their relationship to the heroine, which I liked, but the mystery needs more attention. Worth reading the next in the series, though.

THREE GHOSTS TO LOVE ❤️❤️❤️

It was amazing! The three ghosts had so much personality and were so good to Bre that it made my heart swell! The story and plot were perfect and it was great to listen to while playing House Flipper.

Worst male actor voice!!!!

Where to start, the story had a little potential but went off the rails fast. From the plot of the story to the forced sex scenes, like really no lead up to romance. And the added murder mystery drop into the story out of nowhere… back to the drawing board in my opinion, don’t waste your credit on this one.

Wishy Washy

Bree has had enough courage to travel the world for years by herself and yet she still acts like an insecure teenager. Instead of the strong and sassy woman I was led to believe she is, she is racked with insecurities and won't allow herself to be happy. She worries that people think she's weird and in general acts as if she was still in high school. The maturity I would expect from someone who had spent years on her own is definitely not present. She also emotionally hurts and rejects her guys at every turn, making it seem like just because they are dead they don't deserve feelings. Or, that their feelings don't matter.

Another thing, she doesn't believe in magic! WTF!!!! She sees ghosts and yet the idea of magic is WAAAAYYYYY out there. Are you kidding me?!?!?!

Fantastic plot!

Love love love this new series! I’ve already preordered the next one! Narration is on point; brilliant mix of humor, heat, mystery, paranormal, sweet, and sad.

Liked, but not loved

Overall, I liked the story. I've listened to a few books by this author and I like the universe she's created. But I wasn't a fan of the male accents. They were exaggerated and grating and took away some of the likeability for the characters.

Loved this!

Wonderful story and performance! Can’t wait to read the next one! I cried and swooned!

I love finding books that aren't the same as all the others.

I loved this book so much. I love the characters, the humor, just everything. Bree thought a childhood accident caused her to see ghosts. She moves away to travel the world and when she goes back home to car sit for her parents she runs into the 3 ghosts that became her best friends as a child. But she is an adult now and her 3 ghost friends look different to adult eyes.

the voices were a total turn off

the voices/accents the male narraror used really ruined the book for me. I could only tolerate it for about an hour before I gave up on the audio and went back to my kindle. sometimes the accents were so muddy I couldn't understand who was talking or what they were saying. I had no real qualms with the female narrator but he really took away from the story.
