Synopsis (Goodreads):

Bring on the cakes, balloons, cakes, gifts, cakes, and…well…cakes. It’s time for Grier’s baby shower!

Grier is ready to smile for the cameras, rip open the presents, and finally taste that lemon chiffon cake, but it’s just not meant to be. The Grande Dame is MIA, which turns the big event into an even bigger search party. And that delicious cake? It’s going right back in the fridge

While Grier doesn’t have the best relationship with her mother-in-law, she’s determined her child will grow up with one living grandparent or else. Even if it means wiggling into maternity jeans, putting on actual shoes, and waddling over to Lawson Manor to investigate the potential kidnapping

Just as the investigation turns a corner, Grier pays the price for her stress. The baby wants out ahead of schedule, and it has a unique way of making its desires known. Unique and terrifying. Now the race is on to find the Grande Dame before the baby makes his or her first appearance

What do you get when you cross a goddess-touched necromancer with an Eidolon

Linus and Grier are about to find out firsthand. Now they just have to survive parenthood.

Thoughts on How to Rattle an Undead Couple: I genuinely enjoy spending time with Grier and Linus (seriously, those two are SO FREAKING CUTE together) AND all the oddballs they surround themselves with. The fact that the new Woolworth power duo are not normal in the slightest and the situations they end up in are way beyond what most people (humans and supernaturals alike) ever have to deal with just makes it more exciting.

I mean, baby Woolworth alone gets props for bringing the spooky. And that's before you throw in vampires, a mysterious presence, an old enemy, and...other stuff. There's a lot going on here, okay? A glorious lot.

Not the least of which is a VERY pregnant Grier who isn't thrilled about being kept from her desserts or helping her city. She's a little cranky at times, a lot weepy all the time, and she's determined to pull her weight (snerk!) when it comes to protecting the people around her. All the people. Even her sometimes overbearing mother-in-law.

What can I say? We got sweet Grier and Linus time, snacks, a few secrets were uncovered, some sleuthing, and party! MAN, I love this series.
