In the second novel of the Resurrectionist Series from Victoria Dalpe, Loving the Dead , a city tears itself apart, a new serial killer arrives in town, and Selene Shade desperately needs a vacation. A few months after the tumultuous and reality-shredding arrival of the Pale Ones, the world has been changed, and not necessarily for the better. Half-lifes now regard Selene and her ilk with fear, knowing their free will isn’t as free as it once was. With the growing backlash against the undead in society, religious hate groups have swelled. Add to that a vampire serial killer, a contentious election, a heap of personal problems and you have the makings of a perfect storm that might just wipe the city of Goat Hill right off the map. Revenge conspiracies, resurrection, and romance—what’s a girl to do? Join Selene and friends as they reluctantly race the clock to stop those that would destroy the world… again.
