by
Eileen Rendahl (Goodreads Author)
Melina Markowitz, messenger for the underworld, delivers the goods for the supernatural beings in our midst—no questions asked. It’s more than a job; it’s a mission. Safety be damned.
Melina’s missing friend, Paul, could just be taking a little werewolf “me time,” but her investigation yields something more sinister. Suspicions first fall on Paul’s wolf-pack rival. But that...more

Werewolf Paul is gone and no one, except Melina, seems too concerned about it. Paul's her bud and, even though the alpha doesn't want her nosing around, Melina's determined to stick her nose into pack business and, quite frankly, where it doesn't belong.
Melina is one of those characters who barrels headlong into situations without thinking of the consequences. Despite this being her third book, she's still dangerously naive about the world she's now a part of. As a Messenger, her job is to deli...more

First off, I won my copy of this book via a giveaway hosted by Goodreads.
While it had an interesting premise and made for a good standalone read from the series, I had a somewhat difficult time getting into this book. Every time I found myself starting to get into the groove of it there would be a phrase I was unfamiliar with and it would throw me off and throw me out and I'd spend time trying to figure out what it was or looking it up. Now, I'm a well read person. There are NOT a lot of words o...more

I'm not loving the cover, Melina looks completely different from her previous covers and I just cant picture her like that. Thankfully I can overlook the cover and still really enjoyed DEAD LETTER DAY.
The fact that Paul has disappeared and none of the other Were's are looking for him sends Melina out to figure out what is really going on. The mystery of what was really going on was well written and the idea of killer cows was quite interesting lol. There isn't as much action as in previous book...more

This book brings about a different side of Melina, one that is surprising. Her protege's questions makes her question things from her past, as does her new found relationship with her mother. It is fun to see Melina stop and think, instead of just blindly plowing through life. Another surprise makes Melina question things even more. I found it interesting that so many people knew Melina's surprise before she did, but kept the knowledge to themselves.

Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Associate Reviewer - Kathy M:
*Copy received from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review
First off I must confess that I was unfamiliar with Eileen Rendahl’s Messenger series. So I didn’t know what to expect with Dead Letter Day, the third book. I can honestly say that by the second chapter, I knew that I would be ordering the first two books, pronto.

Reviewed ARC -2/18/13
This book centered more on Melina's personal turmoils then the case she was actually working....to find Paul. And I did miss Alex and the humor he brings to the series. I'm also not really liking how everybody in their little group is conveniently coupling up.

Although Rendahl still writes mostly in protagonist Melina Markowitz's head, there was much less "telling" of events in this third book. If this keeps up, I can see the series becoming a lot better.
I won this book in a giveaway. Honestly, I'm starting to get tired of every paranormal book needing werewolves. Other than that, I really enjoyed this book and it reminds you to trust your instincts.
I needed a "our story so far" preface as it has been so long since book 2 to this one. I will have to go back and re-read 1&2 as soon as I have time. That said, this still had a lot of "Oh shit!" moments like the first 2 books, but without being able to keep book 2 fresh in my mind, I did not get as much out of it as I would have liked. One part really got me, and it was just a few sentences, but it was personal to me. When Melina talks about her Grandma Rosie. That knocked the wind out of m...more
Finally a new Messenger book. And what a book. Melina's friend, Paul, a werewolf is missing. Although the pack is not worried, Melina and Paul's other friends are convinced that something is wrong. Melina investigates. Meanwhile her relationship with her mother is improving and her relationship with boyfriend, Ted, takes an interesting turn.

Great awesome fab and i want to tell the spoiler , but i wont but you'll go Yay!!!
Expected publication: February 26th 2013 by Ace
This, book 3 in the series, is a similar tone to book 2, which I have also read. I liked this in that it keeps the same tone overall. The story line of this one unfolds a bit more gently probably due to the unexpected turn of events for Melina, the protangonist. I have to say I didn't see that coming.
Worth reading if you like the others in the series. It will be interesting to see where Rendahl takes the story from this point forward.

It's so fun reading a book set in Sacramento! Its a city that I have spent lots of time in, especially the Pocket area where Melina's parents live. I can totally picture all the places that Melina went in the book.
well 2.5
UF this isn't. It isn't even PNR.
A friend described this as three generations and a brisket.
There is a name for that genre of book and UF isn't it.
Disappointing.

Oh boy now lets see how she handles this problem
I had forgotten how enjoyable this series is - a smaller book in terms of length but tightly written with ample excitement. Looking forward to the next one.
3.5 stars. This was a little slow, but still enjoyable.
