A review by angieinbooks
Dirt Nap by Carolyn Elizabeth

5.0

We pick up with Corey and Thayer soon after the events of Gallows Humor. Corey is mostly healed from her near-death experience and her relationship with Thayer is stronger than ever. And now that they aren’t putting their lives in danger to solve crimes, they can enjoy their new relationship without any other major hiccups, right?

Wrong! So wrong! There’s a dead body and everything about this body is suspicious (and super gross). And soon, Corey and Thayer find themselves in the middle of another crime investigation, and things go horribly wrong and people get hurt and relationships are tested. And it’s so much fun to read and so well executed that I don’t have any complaints. Well, just one: not enough Cinnamon!

And while the mystery is intriguing and the Corey and Collier moments are great, Carolyn Elizabeth gets the romance right, and lesbihonest, that’s why I’m here. I have so much respect for the way Elizabeth wrote Corey and Thayer’s relationship in this book because what she does here with them is not easy to execute. And I thought it was going to go one way at the beginning of the novel (no spoilers) and it didn’t, and I was so happy but also in awe of what Elizabeth managed to pull off.

I want to rush off to read book 3, I do. But a part of me knows it just means trouble for Corey and Thayer, and I don’t know if I’m quite ready yet, even though I know it will be so worth it.
