Dead on Delivery

I liked this book even better than the first one in the series. Melina is a complex character who really grew and changed throughout the book. The universe is also excellent and there's just enough snark to keep me laughing. I'm awaiting the next book with an anticipation usually reserved for new Dresden Files books.

Melina is disturbed when she discovers that the recipients of two of her deliveries have committed suicide. Even more upsetting is that both these men are from the same town and about the same age. She is sure that the little packages she delivered have somehow contributed to their deaths. So, she can't help it, Melina just has to investigate. With the help of her friends she will get to the bottom of this mystery.

This is the second book in the Messenger series. It is just a delightful as the first. Melina is a tough lady with plenty of snark to go around. Her boyfriend, Ted the cop, is just adorable. The fact that he can put up with Melina's stubborness and issues makes him irresistable. In this book, Melina needs to face some hard show more facts about herself in order to defeat the bad guys. But don't get too soft, Melina. I like that crazy edge you have. show less
