Undeading Bells<\/a><\/em> (2019) Drew Hayes<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Undeading<\/a>It’s almost time: Fred and Krystal’s wedding day is almost here! <\/p>\n

Geez, Freddy, all those old movies you love, maybe work some classic action flicks in there occasionally. I\u2019m more or less a parahuman secret agent and long-time loner on the verge of settling down with someone I really love, which means it feels like fate is just waiting for the chance to snatch it away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But there’s plenty to do before the big day arrives: choose a location and caterer in Boarback, hire a new assistant for Fred’s accounting business, view a possible new venture for Amy, and have an unexpected adventure, all the while looking out for some of the enemies both Fred and Krystal have accumulated.<\/p>\n

Couple things to note: it’s finally noted that Sally is growing up. For a couple of books she either didn’t appear or was seemingly in stasis, but she is now (I believe) a pre-teen. I still am kinda weirded out by Gideon in all of this, but I kinda think I’m supposed to be.<\/p>\n

Additionally, although the story does not end on a cliffhanger, there are a lot of unresolved issues to deal with in the next book. Since he only seems to publish one Fred book a year, this is something you might want to be aware of.<\/p>\n

But mostly it’s just as lovely a romp as the previous books.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got a whole day to be anxious, so don\u2019t use it all up tonight. It\u2019s a marathon, not a sprint.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The punishment is annoying, not painful. Worse jobs, extra shifts, maybe a few weeks training with me if you\u2019ve really pissed somebody off, but they\u2019re not going to hurt her. We still have an HR department.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you haven’t already discovered this series, don’t start here. Go back to The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant<\/em><\/a> and read your way forward. It’s fun–what more could you want out of a story?
