The Dead Couple by Jason Krumbine - Pump Up Your Book Tour


The Dead Couple by Jason Krumbine


About the book:

Jack and Cindy were a happily married couple. She was an elementary school teacher. He was an aspiring children’s book author. They had the perfect life together, until the day they decided to kill themselves.
Suicides, by their very nature, tend to head directly into the afterlife.
Jack and Cindy’s souls never arrived.
Grim Reapers are real. They are governed by the Council of Reapers. Reapers are responsible for the capture and containment of dead souls that refuse to or cannot move on to the afterlife.
Thane and Mort Grym are two such reapers.



My Review:
Thane and Mort, the Grym brothers and Grim Reapers for souls that did not find their way to the afterlife, have a new assignment.  There are two souls that should have crossed easily, but for some reason they didn't.  Jack and Cindy are happily married, but something pushed them over the edge and they became suicides.  Now usually suicides are the easy one, they wanted to die and move on, but something didn't seem to work that way in this case.  Meanwhile, Thane and Mort are still trying to find time to figure out what happened to their father who disappeared two years ago and figure out what the new Grim Reaping company that just moved into time is really up to. 

Not quite as entertaining as the first in the seris, The Dead Couple still had my attention throughout the entire story.  Mort and Thane are still at the brotherly bickering and both still have their bad habits.  Thane is constantly trying to do the good deeds and help the lost souls really find peace, but it only seems to get them into more trouble.  And with Mort's love life and gambling debts thrown into the  mix there's a lot going on.  Somehow, they manage to handle it all and still keep on track trying to find the souls of Jack and Cindy. 

Jason Krumbine is the author behind the pulse pounding, wisecracking Alex Cheradon Series, the dead soul hunting Grym Brothers Series (including Two and a Half Dead Men, The Dead Couple and Better Off Dead), and the tongue-in-cheek paranormal romance “A Graveyard Romance.”
