He’s almost perfect.
But he works for Death

Nora Clanton sells caskets. It wasn't her dream job, but it's the family business. She lives in Rabbittown, a sleepy middle-of-nowhere small community, and her only friends are decades older than her. Her life is comfortable but sometimes she finds herself wanting more.

Then Garrett Bishop turns up and sweeps her off her feet. He's handsome, charming and seems to have a good (if vague) job. There is one little thing though . . . death seems to follow him and rumours never stay buried in Rabbittown.

But when Nora finds out what Garrett has been hiding and all the ghosts left in his wake, she wonders whether it is time to lay their love to rest too . . .

Brimming with characters you cannot help but fall for, Casket Case is a heartfelt small-town romance bursting with life, heart and light. It is The Dead Romantics meets The Good Place.

Review

I don’t think I have ever read a book like this one and I have plenty of paranormal romance. I mean a woman who inherits her family casket business and a guy who works logistics for Death. Talk about relationship issues! Although if you get right down to it they both work in the same field. The creativity of this really called to me and I am so glad I took a chance on it.

Let me start off by saying the pacing of the story was a bit slow but overall I enjoyed it. The relationship between Nora and Garrett also moves more at novella speed for the slowness of the story. So I do think both of those areas were something that could have been better.

I loved how Lauren Evans tackled grief though. A lot of books either gloss over it or make it unbearable. She didn’t do that here. She made it real which made the book better. Nora was a bit wishy-washy for me but she also reminded me a bit of my mother in her grief. The difficulty she has moving on and the emotional struggle with it. That could be why I wanted to hug her and then tell her to “Snap out of it” at times.

Overall I enjoyed this book and the unique story that it presented. There were some things that I felt could have been improved on but in the end it’s a good story. Take a read for yourself and see what you think.
