The Hive
By SW Fairbrother

Book three continues the wonderful series of Vivia the hag. This time she is investigating a death of a werebee. The archenemies of the werebees are the werewasps. They deny any involvement. Very intriguing social systems the two hives have!
Vivia's hag powers are very strong now since she is the last hag! Like the Highlander, lol!There can be only one! Lots of great supernatural stuff going on here along with super plot, wonderful characters, suspense, and humor. Hope it doesn't that long for the next book! Love this series!… (mais)

A Murder of Crones
(London Bones #2)
by S.W. Fairbrother

I really love this series! The world building is incredible! It flows so well and feels so natural to believe that there really are creatures living along side humans and have been for centuries. It's that well written. The characters are remarkably well developed. There are some new characters in this book but many are the same interesting ones from book one.

In here, Vivia decides to go back to the world of the living if she can go back without being a zombie. The hags in the underworld make her a deal. They can arrange that but it won't last long but she has to solve a mystery for them within a set time frame. Meanwhile, a half a dozen other things are going wrong!

It's exciting, mysterious, witty, suspenseful, and complex fantasy story! Excellent from beginning to end! Loved it!

The Secret Dead
(London Bones #1)
by S.W. Fairbrother

Wow! What a gem of a book! This has zombies in it and I told myself I had sworn off zombies after about the 800th book but this is nothing like any zombie book I have ever read! The main character is a hag! A real hag! Warts, ugly, death witch. She knows she isn't pretty. She knows she is down right ugly but she performs a service for the cops. In this world, zombies, fairies, shifters, ogres, and such are all real. Vivia, the hag, can go to the underworld and talk with the dead. A real benefit for cops.

This is a mystery in a mystery. But there are layers of other things going on too! The plot is no cosy here! This is one very detailed, well thoughtout extraordinary plan with so many twists and turns! It's amazing! I wasn't sure what I would get going into this book but I was extremely pleased!
Plenty of clues, imaginative fantasy, so unique is the style that I fell in love with it right away! The characters jump right out. There is lots of humor, which I love in a book, but also suspense.
This book kept me guessing about several things up to the very end! I like that I don't know the ending before it gets there! Can't wait to read another by this author!

*I received a free copy of this book as part of a LibraryThing member giveaway in exchange for an honest review*

Having been pleasantly surprised by the originality, depth and humour of The Secret Dead, the first book in the London Bones series, I was eager to delve more into the world of Vivia Brisk, the death witch, and A Murder of Crones did not disappoint. While the book centres around another mystery, it is very different from the first. The focus is much less on Vivia's professional life (for reasons that become apparent) and more about her family. In this book, we learn more about Vivia's upbringing, her mysterious mother and Vivia's close bond with her sister.
I love Vivia as a character. In a refreshing departure from the stereotypical fiction heroine she is not drop dead gorgeous and does not have guys falling at her feet. But she is brave, smart, loyal and caring, and apart from the death hag part, she comes across as very real! I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to other readers.
