Harry is a well written character, she is strong and sassy. From a cat burglar, to a crow stealing things, magic, mayhem and her father thrown into the loop, it's any wonder that Harry has time to have coffee and cake. The Harry Russo series focuses on Harry, a half vampire witch who also has the power to raise the dead! ‘Dead to Me’ sees Harry making a comeback after being injured in a previous book and on her tail is trouble, which constantly seems to be following her around. I love the Harry Russo series by Lisa Emme…I just wish there was more of the series as once you read one, you want to keep reading. Parental Guide: See my other reviews of this series. That's why I read most of the series but rated them low. The conclusion being, there's plenty of contradictions - sometimes I'm intrigued and enjoying the story and sometimes I'm frustrated. Her magic is interesting, but sometimes too powerful and sometimes not enough.

I don't like Salvador, but I do like him, at least a little. She always knows what to say and how to react to Tomas and anyone else? Always has perfect comebacks and is dressed to kill? (literally?) I liked Nash, but I was intrigued by Jonah, who lets her be herself. I like strong heroines, but she's just so strong and confident, something that I think doesn't happen often for an early twenties girl. I think the reason that I kept reading these (note, I skipped the fourth book) is that there was a lot of potential. It must be, because there are no more (or are there? -shrug), but it felt a little open-ended. This didn't feel like an ending to a series.
