Inspired by Amber ( @ScribbledAdNauseum )'s latest series of discussions about books she has and hasn't read, I have decided to do something similar. I hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea Amber. I am going to be writing about booksthat I have read for this series. In hopes of not only sharing my opinion on these books but also sharing/ recommending books to my fellow readers here. "Grave Surprise" by Charlaine Harris is book number two in the Harper Connelly series of books. Harper Connelly is a young woman who was struck by lightning and in addition to the scars and physical damage it causedher is able to stand on the grave on decesed persons and "feel" or "see" how they were killed. She also has honed her gift to be able to seek out where bodies have been buried, especially when they are buried where they aren"t supposed to be. Follwing in the steps ofthe first book of the series Harper is on a job, this time she was called to a college by a professor who wants to expose her as a fraud. However once she demonstrates her gifts for the professors class, a case from her past presents itself and intertwines itself with the current one. The writing is okay, very easy to read and a little less difficult than what I generally like to read. I would classify it as paranormal young adult. That being said, "Grave Surprise" isn"t a horrible book. It has enough story substance and action to keep you interested, especially if you are in to paranomal things. If you are looking for a light read, or love paranormal novels- this is a book for you. Although make sure you read "Grave Sight" first to understand the story. I would give it a 6.5/10. I think John Green said it best when he said. "I don't care what they read, I care that they read."
