Medium Dead is a fun urban fantasy chronicling the crime fighting adventures of Brenda - a reluctant medium - and Brian - a Vigilante Demon with an impish sense of humour. Think Stephanie Plum with magic and a dash of Carl Hiaasen.

Brenda Steele is smart, funny and out of her depth. A Vigilante Demon called Brian wants her to find murdered spirits and help him track down their killers. But Brian doesn't just catch criminals, he likes to play with them first, and make the punishment fit the crime. As he tells Brenda, "if all you did was turn up, capture the bad guy then leave - century after century - you'd die of boredom."

He's also reckless - his last partner died during one of his takedowns.

Along the way, Brenda discovers that Brian isn't as old, or as powerful, as he led her to believe. He might even be human. Whereas the murderer they're hunting, and the child he's holding prisoner, might not.

I couldn't help comparing the premise to the TV show Medium because I have been marathon-watching that on Netflix. But other than the main character seeing dead people every so often, there really wasn't much else similar. Which was a good thing. This book was fast, amusing, and at times almost-but-not-quite over-the-top.

I really liked Brenda, the reluctant crime-solving medium, who would probably act very much like I would have if I had to throw my hat in with a mischievous vengeance demon. Brian is a goofball, who is the catalyst for most of the almost over-the-top moments, whose comedic antics mask an tragic event in his past that is hinted at but never fully explored.

A really promising start to what I hope will turn into an ongoing series. ( )

I was hoping for similar to Christopher Moore. Instead, I got similar to Charlaine Harris.

I was listening to the audio book. The narrator can't differentiate between an Australian and an English accent. And the story is just lame. ( )

Another dilly by Dolley. I do expect a sequel to this one. Where is it Chris? ( )

For those of us who enjoy humorous fantasy writing -- a la Christopher Moore's Practical Demonkeeping -- it can be hard to find a good fix. Medium Dead fits the bill well. Brenda, the heroine, is convinced by a demon to help her fight crime in the most hilarious way possible: via convincing a killer he is a headless zombie. The situations they find themselves in are tense but packed with hastily-improvised wack-a-doo plans. I got a copy of this over at Bookview Cafe and simply bought a copy on a lark, but I certainly plan to seek out more books by the author. ( )
