People die every day.
But not all of the souls can or want to move onto the afterlife.
That’s where the brothers Thane and Mort Grym come in.
Thane and Mort are bounty hunters for dead souls. They inherited the job from their father and they’re two of the best in town.
But when there’s a double homicide at the Kirkland Motel the Grym brothers end up with more than they bargained for. In a world without vampires, zombies or the undead, one of their bounties might not be as dead as he’s supposed to be.
Two and a Half Dead Men is the first in a series featuring the Grym brothers. Brothers who are also bounty hunters for the dead. Sometimes the dead don't pass over and it is their job to "bring them in". Thane and Mort are two of the best characters I have read in a long time. They are complete opposites, but loyal to each other. Thane is neat, responsible and has a long time girlfriend. Mort gambles, drinks and can't keep the cockroaches out of his apartment. The banter between the brothers was very funny and natural.
So, how do you become half dead? You will have to read this to find out. This was a very quick read filled with humor and the paranormal. Surprisingly, those 2 work very well here. It was almost too quick for me because I didn't want the story to end. While there was some resolution to the story, the end also left me with a lot of questions. I look forward to the next book to see if they are answered.
I definitely recommend this one!
