In this captivating sequel to How To Date Dead Guys (The Witch's Handbook #1) we find Emma pretty much where we left her at the end of the first book. Though she is now a bit wiser and a lot stronger, which is a good thing because she is facing some much bigger challenges than she did in the first book. I don't want to spoil it for you if you have not yet read book 1 (which you really should.) I will just say that this is the further adventures of Emma and her friends, though this book is much darker than the first. Emma is dealing with some seriously evil entities this time but her sarcastic wit still makes it a fun read.

I received a complimentary copy for review. ( )

I would really recommend reading this only after reading How To Date Dead Guys (the first book in Under the Blood Moon) first, not only because it will explain a lot but also a lot of the characters will make another appearance. This review contains some minor spoilers for the first book.

Officer Walker now in on Emma's secret, the real trouble is only starting. As Emma no longer just can rewatch the past, but also relive it. When she's asked to help investigate some murders, things get out of hand, quickly.

I'm not sure about this one. While I still quite enjoyed it, it was a bit less than in the first novel. There were a few things that I had trouble believing, mostly the way Officer Walker is using Emma to solve the crimes. Even besides that it is obviously not standard procedure, I thought he was an idiot for not seeing that it had this kind of effect on Emma, even if she was trying to hide it.

Although I liked to see some of the characters from last book return, I didn't really buy the story and I'm undecided whether I liked it or not. The writing was much the same as the previous book, making it a quick read (Oh, I've read 35% already!) kind of book that's perfect when you need something light.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )

How to Ditch Dead Guys (The Witch's Handbook #2) by Ann M. Noser is such an awesome book that I had to buy the first book as soon as I finished reading this one! I received this book for a honest review from NetGalley and boy am I glad I did! This book is a hoot! Emma is a witch that has a spell book, which is bad for her but she is obsessed with and she keeps loosing it or it gets stolen and has to get it back. She also had a gang of killers after her, she gets possessed by spirits, good and bad, and later by friends! She ends up in Almost Heaven and stirs things up there, you can't take her anywhere! She was helping a cop with murders and she would relive the murders over and over, bruises, choking, etc. She gets her cop friend framed for attempted murder while she is in a coma, she finds out family secrets that shock her and when she addresses it with her dad, well...let's say he isn't around long. She keeps accidentally popping dead guys in and out of Almost Heaven, they are so confused! This girl has so many issues. It is a fun read and you just keep cheering the poor girl on, hoping something will change for her but no, she gets in more trouble. She is determined, strong, resourceful and things work out in the end...sort of...
Loved this book! It is book 2 but can be read as a stand alone but if you are like me, after reading it you will want to read book one also. Great job Noser! ( )

Dear Emma,

There's nothing wrong with reading from a book. Unless, it's a book of witchcraft, you're reading a spell and you're reading the spell out loud.

But that's in the first book. You're a witch, who knew? But baddies are out there and everything goes wrong when you're dealing with the dead and crazy people bent on power.

What are you going to do now? ( )
