review:
'Grave Surprise' by Charlaine Harris and Royal McGraw with art by Ilias Kyriazis is an adapation of the second book in the Harper Connelly series. I wasn't familiar with the series, but I found it easy enough to pick this up and read.
Harper Connelly gained strange powers when she was struck by lightning. She has the ability to find the dead and ascertain their last thoughts. There are skeptics, so when a professor invites her out to a graveyard in memphis, she only expects to find the grave of a man buried for centuries. Along with the man, she finds the body of a girl from a missing persons case she wasn't able to solve in a distant city. How did the body get here, and why do so many people seem to have a motive for her death.
I enjoyed the story well enough. It's a weird psychic power, but it serves the story ok. There is a more than friendly relationship between Harper and her best friend, who acts as her helper and sidekick. The art for the story was not too bad. I'm not familiar with the series, but these are interesting characters, and I wouldn't mind reading more of their adventures.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
