When the Dead Have It Easy (Veil Diaries #7), By B.L. Brunnemer - starting December 4th, 2019

***Disclaimer:*** The Veil Diaries is turning into New Adult from this book on. Which means I recommend the 18+ age group. Adult situations, graphic descriptions, and foul language will be in the books.

My name is Alexis, Lexie to most everyone. And I’m a Necromancer. It’s not as much fun as it sounds but that’s not the problem this time. I haven’t seen anyone but Miles in the last month since New Orleans. Talking on the phone? Yeah. Well, except for Zeke. A few text messages was all I’ve gotten. Until now.
We’re going on the guys’ yearly climbing and camping trip. With all of our secrets out, the tension between everyone is high. Everyone is pissed at each other and I’m just trying to keep my head above water.
But it’s time for a decision. Who am I going to be with? Will I end up with anyone? Will our family stay together?

Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[ Ugh Lex is so freaking dramatic all the time! Everything is the end of the freaking world. All these chapters so far and nothing is happening except Lex and the guys going crazy every five minutes over something that doesn't even matter... (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[ OMG I wish this girl would just walk away from these dudes... nobody needs this much stress in their lives. Back and Forth, Back and Forth!! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 20: (view spoiler)[ As if this dynamic wasn't enough now we have Asher going wolfy and another guy seeing the shadows? What is happening lol. At least the addition of these xtra supernatural worlds have added a little freshness to the "poor pitiful me" "can't decide who or how many to love" and the constant threats to leave rest of the book lol. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 23: (view spoiler)[ The wolf transformation sounds awful.. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: I've said it once, I'll probably say it again.. (view spoiler)[ This is the slowest progressing story... EEEEVVVVEEERRR. the characters are constantly evaluating and reevaluating and then talking about it and then arguing about it, and then taking a side moment to argue about some jealous BS, and then getting off topic, then Zeke says something completely insensitive and effs everything up.. rinse.. repeat. During all that Lex is constantly threatening to leave and running off like a baby.. Yea thats all folks lol. I'm so done waiting on this to finally get somewhere. For these characters to finally grow the hell up and just get on with it lol! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 6 (27%) - (view spoiler)[ Well that conversation actually depressed me a bit. Here I am all looking forward to all of them getting together, but realizing that they are seniors and they all have plans to go their separate ways in year is sad. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 11 (55%) - (view spoiler)[ How could Ordin have possibly managed that sentence? Even if his parents had all that pull, there are minimum sentences for attempted murder and kidnapping, etc. And they are way more than just 5 years. I guess we should look forward to him breaking out and being a nuisance again. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 17 (75%) - (view spoiler)[ Poor Asher. I was suspicious of his dreams and running at the beginning and thought it might be cool to be a werewolf, but now I just kind of feel sad for him since it seems so counter to his true personality. I could totally see Isaac as a wolf - he's just so reckless. I could even see Zeke as one, but Asher? I wonder if this means that each of the guys will end up as a different kind of supernatural by the end?? (hide spoiler)]
Finished - I see your point Tiera, but...(view spoiler)[ I actually think all that rehashing, jealousy, going back & forth and getting off-topic is what made this book more realistic. It was almost like a "How to broach the subject of starting your own reverse harem". I think we've been spoiled by other RHs in that everyone just accepts being in one. This book raised some realistic concerns and had everyone's POVs voice their thoughts. Sure it is still a teen focus so angsty and stuff, but it wasn't any worse than others we've read. I actually found it refreshing that the characters set aside all the other shit they had going on and took a week to figure out their relationship issues. Maybe now they can go back to focusing on the veil and how to fix it. (hide spoiler)]

I didn't see it that way.. but I totally love your POV on this. (view spoiler)[ This is definitely the "how to" anthem for going RH in a world where monogamy is the game. (hide spoiler)]
