Prayer for the Dead by Nicki Scalise!

Synopsis

This is the story about a girl who lived, died, and met a guy… in that order.
Is it possible to find true love and happiness, while condemned to purgatory until the end of days?
Olivia Brennan wasn’t eager to find out. Working for a division of Purgatory and Associates, her job consisted of one headache after another, caused by the impatient souls waiting to move onto eternal paradise. After a hard day at work, she was most content to stay home, watching reruns or reading a book. Aside from a few friends occasionally forcing socialization, her afterlife was nothing special.
That all changed the moment Drake walked into her life. He was handsome, charming, and had a sadness behind his eyes she could relate to. It seemed that Fate had finally brought her a kindred spirit…
But could Olivia move past her own dark regrets of the life she left behind or would falling for him demand the ultimate sacrifice—herself?

Sunny's Review:

 
 This book was very interesting. I am Catholic so anything with Purgatory is going to pique my interest.  I thought it was interesting the way that Nicki described the world that Olivia was in. I like Olivia. She goes to work and does her job and is kind of a homebody. I don't like that she is kind of a doormat when it comes to her friend Portia but otherwise I loved the relationships she had with Tore and Devon.

I really liked Drake at first but then I hated him.  He is really douche-tastic in a lot of ways. I mean he obviously has a pattern of cheating and the fact that Olivia overlooks it annoys me. I feel like she should have made him work a lot harder for her in the beginning. I was also so hoping that she would hook up with Devon and throw Drake away.

I really liked this book and can't wait for more.  I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars. I like the world that Nicki created and there are some twists in this book that make it worth the read. Make sure you go get the book!!!
