Can this book & audiobook be any better?! After 8 books, this series is still killing it and only getting better. Not to mention the narration is totally on point. We finally get some steam between Lexie and the guys, which is oh so perfect & sweet. And this story just keeps unfolding, how BL is able to keep my attention for this long is pure magic. This is defintely the longest series i’ve been able to read and I’m still wanting more. Overall an artful continuation of the story we all love. Can’t wait for the next one.
When the dead come home
Omg! This series literally gets better with every book. These books take me on an emotional journey and I love each of the characters. There were so many twists and turns this book I don't know which way is up. Absolutely a must read! Give me more!!!!

2 1/2 ⭐️
The fatal flaw of most long series. You can’t build up all these characters with their fully formed personalities and then in one book change most of them and expect me to believe any of it.

This was such a disappointment. I just read all 8 of the series so far in less than a week. Pure binge reading enjoyment. Until this one. What Happened?! The writing/plot it’s just ALL OVER. It’s like a good chef has access to too many ingredients and just throws too many flavors in. Way too much going on in this book and much less focus on the relationships. 2.5. Now I’m going to have a book hangover and still be waiting anxiously for the next in the series to come out.
I really was nervous to give this book a 3 star review because I feel like I'm gonna get blasted for it. But honestly? This book deserves it.
It's slow. It's slow and at times very obvious about what is going on. At some point during this book I really really cared very little for the sub par snail like supernatural plot and wanted more relationship stuff.
Things that annoyed me this book. Zeke is like a mary sue almost. So many bad things have happened to his character but this book he is super perfect and suddenly a voice of reason that Lexie turns to. I feel like his character had a complete turn around from previous books. Is it even the same guy anymore? It didnt read like it!
Asher...I wanted more scenes with him. He was up a lot in the beginning which made me happy but then nothing. Him dealing with the wolfiness more could have been nice.
Ethan. Loved his bit. Sometimes he is another character that I feel we dont get enough of. Thankfully we heard more about his character in this book even if it was a whole lot or wth is he stuff that was getting old. Phone sex was boring and not hot at all but the janitors closet was amazing.
Isaac. He is like the series goofy child. Anything stupid and any snickering going on almost always come from him. I was glad there was a more serious sweet side to him and the date night with him and Lexie was sweet.
Miles. Omg. If there was any character other than Zeke that had a change it was his. Gone was the intelligence. He acted like any other hot head teenager and I was so so so pissed that Lexie acted ooc and put up with it all. The whole bit involving his character was just bad bad bad. And not even because of Lucy (who is one of the many boring side characters).
As far as Riley being kidnapped? Please. Who cares? She was an awful awful friend. I could care less about what happens to her.
A lot of the revelations had me rolling my eyes because they've all been mentioned in the forums a million times because it's been obvious

God, finally we have smut scenes. Took forever, but it was worth it.
This one was basically back to back things happening. I loved it!
Idk what the author is thinking, but she's changed Miles's character. Maybe his dad's influence and the increased stakes of what's happening to everyone has made him into a "the ends justify the means" type of person. He's keeping secrets from everyone and letting his jealousy and insecurity harm the RH. We'll see if he gets any better in the finale.
Also, the person screwing with the Veil? I called it. Unless the author decides to throw a curveball, I knew who it was from the beginning. So I feel gratified lol but also, really? I thought the person would be more...villain-y??

There is something about this series that just keeps you reading, no matter how immature some of the characters may seem at times or the emotional baggage they ALL seem to toss out occasionally. They just work, and they work well, inviting the reader to look closer and discover this make shift family and what makes them tick. The plot is enveloping and shows no signs of stopping, in fact, book 8 galvanizes that underlying mystic and drags it into the light, throwing wrenches in plans and showcasing what might lay behind the curtain.
Lexie is growing, as are her guys, both together and apart. Relationships are solidified, while others are rocked with doubt and fear. Brunnemer doesn't play the game that 'love solves everything' - she injects a sense of reality into the strife, even when it's bracketed by a full paranormal world. At this point, we aren't quite sure what is going to happen next, and that speaks volumes for the talent of this particular author. A golden boy is tarnished, old loves become potential enemies, new faces emerge, fresh threats are made and the hearts of almost all of them are exposed in one way or another. It's emotional, deep, dangerous and just about perfect.
It did lose a half star from me simply because there were times it felt a bit scattered and jumped around, leading to more questions than answers and an over all sense of manic energy.
Pros:
~ Well written.
~ Character developement.
~ Issac!!!!! Yes!!!!
~ Ethan.... we al kinda know what he is, but till it's said...
~ Tara and Jess... alright, I am sorta loving them right now.
~ HADES! Enough said.
Cons:
~ Miles... Miles. I love you. Wake up boy.
~ Parts were scattered.
~ It wasn't a short book, but it FELT short.
Perspective
~ First Person, Multiple POV
Ending Type
~ Cliffhanger
Romantic Dynamic
~ MMMMMF
Character Age Range
~ 18+
My Final Verdict on When the Dead Come Home
A solid book that advances the overall plot, deepens relationships and asks all the right questions. This is a long running series well worth the price - and time. On Kindle.
