Another great book in this series.  Such a fun and easy read, and very entertaining.  These books are fun and this one is no exception.  A good mystery too.  This is easily one of my favorite cozy mystery series!  I look forward to the next.

This review is not going to be long. I am not a huge fan of a review rehashing the entire plot and spoiling it for everyone.

I love this series! Her style of writing keeps you interested and waiting for more. I cannot wait to read more of this series!

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A church full of scary ghost and a fundraiser ends in death. When Verity Long's family friend falls to her death at Church she needs to find out who did it before the ghost bring her over to join the dead.  If that is not enough she has to go with Frankie on a manhunt to confront the man who shot him in the head. So get ready to go on a ride that will take you to a movie theatre that is possessed, a speakeasy, a mob safe house, and a creepy church. 

Book 9 in the series and it only keeps getting better.  Those who have read the others books will love that you get to know more about Frankie and his past.  There are twist and turns and a bit creepy with the ghost in the church.  I love this series and the character development gets better with each book.  I would recommend you read the other books before this one so you won't be so lost.  I love this book and highly recommend it.

I love this series and this installment didn't disappoint.
I had fun and was hooked till the end.
It was great to catch up with the characters and the solid mystery kept me guessing.
I look forward to the next installment, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of SOUTHERN BRED AND DEAD (Book 9 of the Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries) by Angie Fox in exchange for an honest review.  Verity Long and her mobster ghost roommate are called back into action.  Verity attends a church fundraiser in an effort to have some fun and to support a wholesome cause.  However, the trip to the church grounds serves up a huge helping of grief, disappointment, and danger.  One of Verity’s friends plunges to their death from the bell tower, and both Verity and her friendly, but constantly complaining, ghost companion are chased by murderous spectres.  Verity must delve into the past to untangle current mysteries.  In doing so, Verity will either bring peace to the church ghosts or join them.  Either way, Verity’s romantic relationship is a death’s door.

I liked this book and enjoy the series.  I recommend the series to fans of cozy mysteries featuring murder, ghosts, mobsters, police officers, high society grand dams, and quirky pets.

Another cozy where the characters feel like family. Love you can dive in with them.  Perfect cozy to take you away to another time.

I have read a few books by Angie Fox and always enjoy them . They are light hearted and quite funny at times that make you laugh out load . Would recommend this author .

Another fantastic installment of The Southern Ghost Hunter series. The only way that I can describe how these books make me feel is it's sort of like going home from work at the end of the day. Like, when I'm tired and all concentrated out, I can pick up one of these books and know exactly what I'm going to get and I know I'm going to be able to relax and enjoy it without having to work hard. This book was a little different than the others as it was less about Verity and Ellis, and more about learning Frankie's history. I always find the way that the various characters are linked and related so cute and gives me a real small town vibe, and this book provided lots of that along with the usual beautiful Southern charm. I'm trying not to say too much about the actual plot of this book as with it being the latest in a series I don't want to give away any spoilers for those who haven't read this far yet. But trust me when I say, this book will not disappoint fans of the series. If you haven't read any of these yet but love paranormal cosy mysteries then what are ya waiting for??? PICK A COPY UP NOW!! 
And now I'm just left with the hard bit..... waiting for the next book to come along ha ha ha.....

Southern Bred and Dead is the 9th in Southern Ghost Hunter series by Angie Fox.  Ellis is not a bit happy about Verity’s penchant for jumping into ghostly trouble feet first but she’s at it again with Frankie, her ghostly partner-in-crimefighting.  She’s solving both a present day murder and helping Frankie delve into his own murder.  The two plots are seamlessly intertwined, fast-paced, and sprinkled with the unexpected, including zombie-like spirits chasing Verity through the churchyard.  This is a hair raising romp with plot twists and turns that you won’t see coming, and one that you won’t want to miss. (I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy and all opinions are my own.)

It felt like this book had two parts, one where Frankie goes to confront his brother about his murder. It was just too bizarre, there were gangsters, drinking, and all - And they were all ghosts. Although, I should mention that I did enjoy it :D Then the main murder mystery, which occurred in a church. Literally, this book was filled immense action packed into it, never was a dull moment.

I’ve missed Verity, Ellis, and Frankie! And this one reminded me why I love them so much. Verity is pulled into another ghostly investigation after witnessing the murder of one of her grandmother’s dearest friends. The ghosts at the church and cemetery where it happened seemed to have Verity in their sights, and not in a good way. Meanwhile, Frankie is trying to get hold of his brother to settle a score there. And it seems like all of Verity’s adventures are finally catching up with Ellis, and he is scared that she is in over her head.

Verity is her usual semi-naïve self, wanting to believe the best in people, and ghosts, and just trying to help. We learn more about Frankie, and where he comes from, and that was super interesting. Ellis is in his usual mode as pillar of strength to Verity, but it’s not all smooth-sailing for the two of them. 

The plot was very interesting and brought Verity’s and Frankie’s families together in a very unexpected, but delightful way.

Read the whole series in order, if you’re in the mood for a different kind of mystery novel. You will find interesting twists and lots of humor.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was very lucky that I got a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for a review, which I am happy to provide.
I really enjoyed this latest book in the Southern Ghost Hunter Mystery Series, it had a great storyline and we got to learn more about Frankie, and I especially love the relationship between Verity and Ellis.  I can't wait to see what will happen next. Definitely read the Series from the beginning to see how it all started, you could still enjoy the book but you would miss a lot of backstory and all the struggles our heroine had to go through.  Great Series and very entertaining.

Always love coming back to visit Verity and her pet skunk and mobster buddy, she's always in the thick of things. Well written enjoyable with a lot of history woven in, another home run for Angie Fox.

Southern Bred and Dead is the ninth book in Angie Fox’s Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries series.  This fast-paced book is well plotted with an intriguing mystery that often had me on the edge of my seat and kept me guessing until the reveal.  The story flows smoothly, and the characters are well developed.  This book can be read as a standalone because the author has done an excellent job describing and explaining the main characters, their relationships, and their backgrounds.   There wasn’t as much humor in this installment.  It’s edgier and has more graphic descriptions than the other books in this series.

Verity Long can see and communicate with ghosts, but only with the help of Frankie, the ghost of a 1920s gangster who she managed to ground to her property in Sugarland, Tennessee when she dumped his ashes, which she thought was dirt in the yard. Frankie is unable to leave the property unless Verity has his urn with her. Verity is a caring person who wants to help everyone, living or dead. She is productively using her gift as a ghost hunter and is dating Ellis Wydell, the Deputy Sheriff and her ex-fiancé’s brother. Ellis is one of the few people who believe in her abilities and has always been supportive of her helping the ghosts who need her but concerned for her safety.  

Verity is participating in Sugarland Heritage Society’s annual fundraiser at the Three Angels of the Tabernacle Blessed Reform Church of Sugarland when her late grandmother’s good friend, Jorie Davis, plunges from the upper window of the church’s bell tower.  Verity is convinced foul play is involved and is determined to bring resolution to Jorie’s murder.  As she investigates, Verity discovers shocking history about Sugarland and is confronted by numerous angry ghosts haunting the church property who want to attack rather than to talk to her.  Meanwhile, Verity is helping Frankie find his brother, Lou, who he recently discovered is the person who killed him, as well as dealing with relationship issues with Ellis.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it.

OMG - I Love love LOVE this series and this book didn't disappoint. It had everything I love about Angie Fox and then some. I hope this series never ends.

I was so excited to find another installment of The Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries. I was so nervous throughout this one because Ellis and Verity were not getting along as well as they usually do. I love their relationship!  There’s a lot of history in this tale that involves their small town. Verity is determined to find out what has happened to her friend, which involves solving the mysteries of the past.

Verity has managed to wrap herself up in complications in this one. She has a real life murder to investigate, Frankie needs her help, and her relationship with Ellis is on the rocks. 
Reading an Angie Fox book is like visiting with old friends. Great characters suck you into the story. There's mystery, a bit of tension, humor, ghosts, and relationships. I loved all the reveals related to Frankie. There were so many surprises in this one. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

In book nine of the Southern Ghost Hunter series Verity is investigating a murder (unofficially), dealing with a haunted church and trying to help her gangster ghost roommate solve his own murder, add to that some relationship drama and Verity has a lot to deal with.

Let me start by saying that when I requested this book I didn't realize this was the ninth in a series. That being said the first chapter recapped a bit of backstory and I never felt lost for not having read the previous books. Now that I've finished the book I'm totally interested in the backstory and will check out the rest of the series.

This was just a fun, not too scary, ghost story/cozy mystery. During her investigations Verity interacted with some entertaining and eccentric characters in her small town, some alive and others ghostly. She gets into some wild situations like visiting a ghost filled speakeasy. The pacing was steady and I always engaged. Overall this was a fast fun read. I would recommend this if you're looking for a cozy mystery that's a little spooky.

I read this book in one sitting on a rainy Sunday afternoon and it was the perfect selection. Pure fun and fabulousness wrapped up in a page turning package. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

I swear Frankie really comes alive in this one with an involved backstory traveled as our heroine and he solve the crimes together. Wild crimes gives a wild ride with a terrific ending. Jam packed with relationship issues and even Beau reappears don't miss this one
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for allowing me this arc
