Keep It Together (The Undead Detective Agency Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Shelby Rhodes (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 541 ratings

Back again, I see. Well, you are in luck, for the story of, I, Detective Octavius Evander, continues! To start off on a positive note, prepare to be amazed as my precious human, Turney, falls into my hands!

Okay, technically, I already had my hands on him—all of him—but that didn’t make him mine, mine. But now it is time to show how I captured his heart with my lovable personality! No doubt my adorable and sparkly new hobby had something to do with it as well!

But enough about the gooey emotions. On to the cases! There will be a new adventure or two with my team to entertain. Though the adventures this time, well, not all end as pleasantly as one might hope. While I would say to prepare for the return of old faces, none of you have seen them before. Just know that their reappearance in my life leads to an unfortunate event. But in the paranormal world, fun and death go hand and hand, does it not?

CONTENT WARNING: This is a M/M paranormal romance book that ends on a cliffhanger. There will be violence and a main character death—a temporary death.

    I loved Keep It Together by Shelby Rhodes. It's the second book in The Undead Detective Agency series. This series just keeps getting better, even if the ending left me in tears. I'm just glad that the next book is already out so I don't have to wait to find out what happens next.

    I've been impatiently waiting for this book. I fell in love with world of The Undead Detective Agency in the first book, Get It Together, and I wanted more from this world. And this book delivered all that I wanted and even threw in some bonuses.
    The world building got even better and new characters were introduced that add more craziness and suspense. The familiar characters continue to grow (not feel stale) and captivate the readers, digging themselves deeper into our hearts. The dark gritty plots of the story are still perfectly balanced with humor, not overwhelming the reader. There is more steam in this story due to Octavius and Turney's relationship developing and becoming stronger.
    Octavius continues with his antics and love of glitter. And Turney deserves a medal for putting up with all that glitter 😂 and taking in stride his discovery of the supernatural world. But it's not all fun and glitter, Octavius is being hunted by an old enemy. And this enemy is not easy to capture, creating fear and chaos. It had me seating at the edge of my seat, heart racing, needing to know what will happen next. And then the story takes an even darker turn, shattering my heart. And before it could heal, the book ends in a major cliff hanger. Now I REALLY need book 3.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and so Funny!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2023
    So, this book is not standalone it is apart of Shelby Rhodes Undead Detective Agency series. Book two in this series was fun! The first book ended on a happy note, but this book ended with a cliffhanger! I'm looking forward to book three!

    This book had a different feel than the previous book. The first book felt more paranormal with romance interspersed throughout the story while this one feels more like a romance with paranormal elements to it. I missed the cases the two main characters, Octavius and Turney, went on before though. There are cases in this book, but they are more tame.

    Octavius was funny and endearing as usual. I love the relationship and Turney and Octavius have. The side characters were fun in this book too!

    I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the author.

    Shelby Rhodes does it again! This is book 2 of the Undead Detective Agency and it manages to bring even more to the table—something I didn’t think was possible!

    There’s laughter, love, adorableness times 100, and gut wrenching tears. The author deftly handled all of the twists that left me gasping. Keep It Together took me through all the emotions and left me exhausted, satisfied, and begging for more.

    The chemistry between her characters is undeniable, whether romantic, as friends, or adversaries. I love the main characters, but the secondary felt just as real. Yet, the plot is the focal point. It doesn’t get lost.

    Shelby Rhode’s world building ability is on point. It was incredibly vivid. There wasn’t a moment that I felt was overdone.

    I couldn’t put this down. I needed to know what would happen, despite at points almost not wanting to know. It was that suspenseful and absolutely terrifyingly perfect because of it.

    Oh! And glitter. All the glitter. I definitely appreciate that!

    5 stars for a masterfully written, humorous and suspenseful read.

    I thought things moved pretty quickly in this book compared to the first in the series. That's probably because we didn't need all the world building so we are able to jump right into the good stuff. I absolutely adore their adventures and the way they tip toe around their feelings towards each other. I get super invested in the cases they investigate and I love to be kept guessing. The secondary characters are absolutely wonderful and I love them almost as much as I love Octavius and Turney. There's a big 'ol cliff hanger at the end of this story that made me cry, but I'm putting all my eggs in Shelby's basket and trusting that she will make it all work out somehow.

    Warning this book ends on a cliffhanger but you know that xxxx can’t die. Right? Don’t quite know how Shelby Rhodes is going to pull this one off. I was quite surprised to come to review this book and realize that this is only book two of this series. Octavius and Turney are such fully fleshed out (as it were) characters in my brain that I was sure that there had been more books in this series already. The only problems that I have are a small one in that there are some typos that I assume will soon be taken care of. AND the ending which I also assume will be quickly taken care of. Right? He can’t die!
