Ewww.....

I read the third book in Charlaine Harris' "Grave" series, An Ice Cold Grave. While the storyline was excellent, I could do without the step-brother on step-sister action. Couldn't she have just introduced them from the beginning as two people who grew up in the same house rather than "my brother this and my brother that"? Gross.... they're talking about marriage. And they wonder how their half-sisters are going to feel about this. Well, duh. They are going to be grossed out! 

Anyway - Harper has been called into a small town to do her "thing" and find the dead bodies of boys who have gone missing. Six in three years to be exact. Harper is able to sense the bodies and finds a few extra to boot. Well, the murderer just isn't too happy with her spoiling his fun and Harper has to figure out not only who is the snake in the garden in this kind town, but who wants her dead.

It has some great unexpected elements, but again, I could do without the step-sibling make-out sessions.
