This is a very entertaining short story which takes place shortly after Dead Man and the Restless Spirits, in New Year’s Eve. Helping the poor host to get rid of the unwanted guest is going to take both men’s skills, and not only at dealing with magic… What he does not expect is to run into man possessed by a naasi, a demonic spirit interested in all sort of pleasures. When Denton convinced Bran to join a fashionable new-year’s party in a fancy restaurant, he expected to have a good time and help Bran to wind down a little. Overall, this is a fun, short read about a pair of interesting characters and what trouble they get into in their "downtime." This is more about showing Denton and Bran's love and chemistry rather than building a mystery.
That is a good thing, otherwise this short story would leave readers hanging and feeling incomplete. The ending gives a hint to what the next book will be about, but doesn't give any details. The story is more focused Denton being wanton and sexy while dealing with demonic spirits and less on character development since Denton and Bran are an established couple. Their characteristics are shown in this short story so new readers can learn about them and how they work together as a team. Denton is still a wild card while Bran is the calm and knowledgeable one. They have to use heavy persuasion (of a lustful nature from Denton) to get the demon to leave.ĭenton is a necromancer and Bran is a witch (or herbalist as he prefers). Denton and Bran goes to a costume party and discovered a man possessed by a demonic spirit.
Fans of the first book will enjoy having Denton and Bran back and working on a short and unintended case. This is a short story taking place in between Dead Man and the Restless Spirits (Book #1) and Dead Man and the Army of Frogs (Book #2). Review posted on Books on Silver Wings blog. Please let there be more Dead Man mysteries to come!įYI: There are spoilers for Dead Man & the Restless Spirits Anyway, this was fun and free and the perfect taste of a little more Denton and Bran. I swear, at one point I could not stop laughing! Umm, yeah, Denton gets a little too interested in Bran’s leather cough…LMFAO. (Jeez, could I use ‘in’ any more?) But all the humor and chemistry that I know and love between Denton and Bran was there. Okay, I admit that I wasn’t as into the mystery here in this story as I was into the ones in Dead Man & the Restless Spirits. What happens next is…*cough* interesting. When Spiderman gets a bit to handsy and glutenous, Denton is certain something supernatural is going on…and he needs Bran’s knowledge and expertise to save the poor soul. Dead Man & the Lustful Spirit is a short freebie that follows Dead Man and the Restless Spirits Its New Year’s Eve and Denton and Bran are attending a costume party…*cough* as a necromancer and a witch *cough*.
