Dead Woman's Secret (Nearly Departed) Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 21 ratings

Flynn Dalton just wants to marry her girlfriend, Genesis, go back to her construction job, and get on with her life. But first she has to defeat a revenge-crazed psychic succubus who is erasing people from existence….

Flynn is in a tough spot. The National Psychic Registry will exile Genesis for her use of dark magic if Flynn doesn’t do their bidding… and Gen doesn’t even know the Registry is using her for leverage. The only way for Flynn to get her life back–and protect Gen–is to find and kill Tempest Granfeld, the disembodied succubus removing Registry members from time.

But no matter how hard Flynn works, she makes little progress. Using her abilities takes a mental and physical toll, and she’s so tired that she can’t keep an eye on Gen, who’s struggling with her dark magic addiction.

When Tempest sets her sights on Genesis, Flynn is pushed to her breaking point. Can she embrace her power once and for all and be the hero Gen needs?

Dead Woman’s Secret is the thrilling conclusion to Elle E. Ire’s spine-tingling, immersive Nearly Departed trilogy. Fans of lesbian fiction, psychic problem-solvers, and badass heroines will lose themselves in this sexy, spooky paranormal adventure.

Reading this, I feel like I won a contest.

The story is so well crafted. You will definitely want to read books 1 and 2, but the story can stand on its own if you are picking this up first. Just be aware that there's more that takes place before this one and the sequencing would be best in order.

As for the elements of the story, this centers on the relationship of Flynn and Genesis, two women who have very different powers and who have to come to terms with how they intersect with the psychic community and its rules. The relationship is portrayed as loving and healthy, but not without its difficulties that must be addressed in the context of a series of challenges faced by them and by the community they are a part of.

There is more, but that would spoil the fun. Suffice it to say that this is a hero's journey too. And you get to see growth and character development of LOTS of well-defined people. There aren't any card-board cutouts or cliches here.

Enjoy!

The other nice thing is that this works really well as a trilogy. I hope there will be more, but this is a satisfying close to the story if it does end here. Who knows where Elle e. Ire might take this world or these characters? If there's more, I'll definitely read it, but if this caps the story, I'm immensely satisfied with how it worked out.

I'm sad that there won't be any more books in this series, but this was an intense and well-crafted conclusion to one of the BEST stories I've ever read. Flynn and Genesis are such beautiful characters, as are so many of the other characters. The author made me fall in love with all of them, and had me sitting on the edge of my seat, heart racing and holding my breath at so many points, especially during this last book, that I could almost convince myself that it was all real. My eyes teared up and my heart ached for the characters in certain places. But the author was kind and gave us a mostly happy ending.
