Review of 'The Good, the Bad, and the Undead' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
There is a serial killer on the loose and he/she is targeting witches that can manipulate ley lines. Rachel is sure Trent Kalamack is involved and does not hesitate to go after him.
I enjoyed the story and even though the killer was not hard to pinpoint, the chase was entertaining. Some mysteries were left open as they should and we learn more about some secondary characters, even catching a glimpse of future plots. I should have loved this book but I simply dislike Rachel.

I stopped reading several times because I was just mad at the break of pace or at Rachel's stupidity. I really hope she grows up in the following books and that the first half of the books gets better. Otherwise I am not sure I want to read the rest of the series.
