It’s one thing to bring the woman you love back into your life. It’s another to try and keep her there. For Dex Foray, convincing Perry Palomino to open herself to their burgeoning relationship has been more challenging than hunting ghosts, battling demons and stalking Sasquatch combined. Add in the fact that the only way they can keep their Experiment in Terror show running is … is to take on a third partner in the form of the mysterious Maximus Jacobs — all while investigating a sinister voodoo sect in New Orleans — and you’ve got the perfect Southern storm and a recipe for disaster. Luckily, Dex has never been one to back down, even when his life –and heart — are on the line.
Come Alive is told from Dex’s POV

“You’re my home, Perry. And I will be yours.”
First of all, I fucking LOVED that Come Alive was told from Dex’ POV. Since book #1 I had been wanting to know what was going on in his mind. I wanted to know what he was thinking, seeing and feeling. And Karina Halle gave me exactly what I wanted. I love Dex even more than I already did. I love that he is funny and jokes around, because humor is one of the most attractive traits a person can have. We also get an insight into what he is struggling with and what and who his demons are. We just get a peek into it though, the author loves to keep us readers in suspense.
Dex did some asshole things, and I wanted choke him for it. I feared that something I didn’t want to happen would happen, but thankfully the characters made the right decisions at the end. Also I kind of like Max now, I loved that we finally got to know who he is because I was sick of his shady actions. I hope he will get his own spin-off stand-alone book(s), because I think his story is very intriguing. (I just want the EiT world to never end)
“Baby, we are both crazy. That’s why we’re made for each other.”
I said it before and I’ll say it again, Karina Halle did such a great job with the set-up of this series. Every book has the right amount of romance, suspense, paranormal activity, humor and horror. The combination of all these together makes a story so good. Karina cracked the code to my heart by combining all the genres I love and putting it all together in a series. There are only two more books in this series and I am getting very sad to see it end.
Zombies and Ghosts and Bokors, OH MY!!
Perry and Dex have settled in after their terror filled time in the Canadian Rockies. With no footage, thanks to its being confiscated, they are faced with the threat of cancellation. Their boss proposes that they take on another member to their team, and guess who it is, Maximus has managed to get himself made their babysitter. Maximus makes plans for them to head to New Orleans and film some haunted locations, but he does not know that he is leading them into one of the most dangerous situations they have ever been in. With their relationship being tested by outside forces and the threat of an evil Bokor raising zombies, Dex and Perry do not know where or whom to turn to for help. This time there might not be an escape for either of them.
We meet a small group of people here who help and hinder our couple. There is of course Maximus, an ex-friend of Dex from college who he is not happy to work with them. Especially since he seems to be lusting after Perry.
We also meet Rose a girl from Max’s past that he would like to forget but can’t. Rose is also special like Dex and Perry and is recruited to help them.
Ambrosia Paris is an apprentice to a Voodoo Mambo and seems sweet enough on the surface, but you can see the corruption beneath that pretty exterior.
This series just keeps getting better and better! Was I surprised by some of the revelations we were given? Yes. Do I think it fits with all the information we have gotten in the past? Yes. Can I patiently wait for the next installment? No! But I will because I have no other choice. Karina Halle has given us a rich world inhabited by complex characters who react like anyone would to the things which are thrown in their path.
Love can conquer all.
