Dead Sexy (Second Endings Book 1) Kindle Edition

3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars 28 ratings

Peter wants to fix his life, problem is: he’s dead. Life doesn’t give you do-overs, but does the afterlife? Believe in love after life. Medical illustrator Gillian Denver has a unique talent, and it’s not her ability to depict the systems of the body accurately and artistically. She can talk to spirits, only she doesn’t realize it. Peter Keith, a one-time TV sitcom star whose career dissolved from A-lister hunk, to out of shape, straight-to-cable-movie D-lister has a problem. Peter regrets decisions he made in his life, and would like a do-over. He convinces Gillian to help him. One little problem, Peter is dead. Thinking it’s her over active imagination causing her reoccurring dreams about Peter to spill into daylight hours, Gillian finds herself talking to him while she works. Together they begin to recreate Peter’s life by writing a book the way he wishes things had worked out. Gillian is not fully convinced that Peter is anything more than something she made up, a glorified imaginary friend, a new muse. Gillian’s feelings for Peter complicate her relationships with the living. She is afraid the love she has for Peter will never be enough because she cannot give him what he really needs, a resolution to the life he wasn’t ready to leave.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Dead Sexy was fun, creative, intense, and surprising! A MUST read! --The Vagaries of Us

A refreshing PNR that had me laughing out loud and sympathizing with the main character. .... if you are in the market for a steamy ghost PNR then this is your cup of tea!
-- Wayward Reviews

I have not read a book in such a time that has pulled me in so emotionally. --

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lulu M. Sylvian writes sexy hot paranormal romance where the magic is just around the corner and out of sight, until you know what you're looking at. Her stories include everything from ridiculous male strippers, ghosts in search of resolution, and shifters with action and suspense.

Bio-engineered to be the only redhead in a generation of blonds, Lulu feels that “aliens” may actually be the best answer for a lifetime of being asked, “Where did you get that red hair from?”

She did not come into writing from years of scribbling words on paper. Her background is rooted in visual arts and making pictures. Encouraged to make those pictures out of words Lulu began writing just to see what would happen. What happened opened some portal that now allows characters to stroll right up to her and demand their stories be written. They move into her head rent free until Lulu transcribes their love lives onto the page.

Lulu cannot ride a horse, a motorcycle, spin a hula hoop, or play roller derby. Yes, she has attempted all of those, even if it has been decades since she's been on a horse or a motorcycle. She embraces the crazy that comes with that one little genetic mutation and attempts to live up to the reputation that proceeds her. Lulu would like to apologize for her contribution to the hole in the ozone layer from her use of hairspray in the 1980’s.

    I never thought I'd be yearning after a ghost but this book has certainly changed my mind. I want one. A ghost, that is. I already have the book. He's sexy and he's all Gillian's, the lucky lady.

    I don't want to spoil anything for you in this gem of a story. This author is able to evoke so much emotion in this sometimes humorous, oftentimes sensual story. It's one that I've already read twice and it remains on my "reread" shelf.

    A rather unusual paranormals romance. I don't want to give away anything but it's an interesting story.

    This book was a blast! The author had me at deceased 80's "it" actor turned ghost, and the story lived up to my very high expectations! Gillian cracked me up with her sense of humor, and this story went in all kinds of fun directions I wasn't expecting. I was clueless as to how the author would wrap up this complicated plot, but I absolutely adored the way it all came together. Another wonderful story from Lulu M Sylvian!

    This book is not in my normal genre, so I wasn't quite sure how it would be wrapped up. The author did a good job of creating an ending that made sense and tied up the loose ends nicely. It was a very entertaining read. And it has (hands down) the most interesting beach scene I may have ever read.

    I really wanted to love this book based on the description, but the cover is the most interesting aspect of the book. The author herself summarized the book perfectly in Chapter 15, “It was a series of hot, wet dreams and very little else.”

    The lead female character, Gillian, is written as being very mentally unstable at times, crying most of her waking hours, including at her job, where she's a highly paid professional. She frequently questions if she's awake or dreaming, and sometimes has difficultly distinguishing between the two. She claims to have ghosts following her: 2 cats, a dolphin/manatee, a crow, and the lead male character, Peter, who died almost a year earlier. Gillian has a boyfriend of three years who is becoming more and more distant.

    Peter was a very successful child actor who struggled to gain lead action roles of notoriety as an adult, and died from an accidental mix of pain meds for a back injury. He first comes to Gillian in her dreams, seemingly as a dream. Then he comes to her daily in her office at work and they communicate telepathically. Gillian learns from Peter that her boyfriend is cheating on her and she dumps him. Peter doesn't want Gillian to see other men. He consciously takes her to a dream plane nearly every night where they have hot sex. 60% into the book and the author still has Gillian questioning if her ghost, Peter, is real in spite of all her interaction with him and all that she's already told us about him. There is a great deal of this kind of circling around a past topic to fill the pages.

    Gillian is writing a book that is basically a do-over wish list of Peter's life in which he has children and a happy family life. She's obsessed with the writing and she and Peter collaborate on the story, for a while. She keeps insisting on writing him as a were-tiger and despite the fact that he clearly says no to that concept, she keeps needling the idea. I found this really immature of her character and irritating, more circling a past topic to fill the pages.

    Peter becomes as controlling as the boyfriend was, but I don't believe the author understands that's how she's writing him. Gillian cannot summon Peter whenever she wants, she has to wait for him to appear, and she pouts about this a lot, more circling around a past topic to fill the pages. Peter is appearing less and less often. Then he's gone...for good. There's a twist at the end of the story that I won't give away.

    This overall concept could have been spectacular. The author frequently displays very immature and under developed writing skills: use of 'Duh', and extreme number of repetitions of the same useless info to fill the pages, vulgarity and foul language. I read one or two books every day in nearly all genre, so I've read many, many well written books. It appears this author wants to write mild erotica, “I sketched out a pornographic sex scene”, “I wouldn't have any problems illustrating an adult graphic novel, with all the sexy details” (those scenes are fairly well written) and attempts to surround it with a poorly written story.

    There are many editing errors: incorrect choice of homophonic words, missing words, extra words, and lack of punctuation that interrupt the continuity of the read. I struggled to finish this and only did so to be able to write a review based on the entire book. I wanted to learn what the interesting twist at the end of the story was; however, it could not redeem this book. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

    This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Dead Sexy by Lulu M. Sylvian is a cute stand alone story. While I thought it started a little slow, the story does pick up and become quite entertaining. There are a lot of LOL moments interspersed with emotional highs and lows, but they work because of the character development and their backgrounds. I absolutely loved that Ms. Sylvian isn't afraid to give her characters some hard situations to overcome. Sweet and sexy (definitely a Mature Readers Only read), this reads quicker than you would think. A fun anytime read.

    This honest and voluntary review was made possible by reading a copy through Booksprout.

    I adored Gillian's character. She really discovers herself over the course of this story.. with help from Peter.. and her close friends. And the book ended with a sweet HEA.

    Gillian Denver is a medical illustrator with a gift ~ she can see and speak to spirits. However, she doesn't realize just how advanced her gift really is. When the ghost of Peter Keith shows up, she originally believes that he's a figment of her imagination. Peter is a former TV star who recently passed away and is unhappy with how his life turned out. Gillian is giving him a do over as she writes a book with the way he thinks his life should have been. Gillian thinks that Peter is her muse but as her feelings for him grow, she's not sure how things will ever work out.

    I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review and I honestly loved it. There were a few mistakes but not enough to take away from the story. The storyline was great and the book was well-written with wonderful characters you'll enjoy getting to know. It was a fabulous ghost story and had quite a twist at the end. I was captured from the beginning and kept hooked until the end. I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series. I highly recommend this one.
