I had fun with this audiobook! Since I enjoyed the first book in this series, it was a pretty easy decision to pick up this second book. This is a lighter story that moves pretty quickly with a ton of pop culture references that added a nice touch. All in all, this was a pretty enjoyable listen.

This book picks up shortly after the events of the first book. If at all possible, I do recommend reading this series in order. Jane Doe is a weredeer. She has taken on her mother's role as the town shaman. She has been training as much as she can but even Jane will tell you that she still has a lot to learn. This mystery starts when Jane and her best friend Emma find a bunch of infant skeletons. She soon joins forces with a girl connected to the bones named Robin. The mystery was really quite complex and kept me guessing until the very end.

This book was very well balanced. I thought that the characters were well developed and sometimes found where you least expect them to be. I liked that there was a thread of humor in this story with the puns and pop culture references. I think that these moments were well-timed and helped give the story a lighter feel. I thought that there was just the right amount of action woven throughout the book to really keep things moving. 

Arielle DeLisle did a great job with the narration. I thought that she really was able to capture Jane's personality and handled the cast of characters very well. She has a very pleasant voice that I had no trouble listening to for longer periods of time. 

I would recommend this book to others. I thought that this was a fun story with a great mystery and just the right amount of humor. I look forward to seeing what Jane gets in the middle of next!

I received a review copy of this audiobook from the author.
