Lorelei Clay is determined to put down roots in the small town of Fairhaven no matter what the universe throws at her. After all, she’s invested her entire savings in the rundown monstrosity known as the Castle—and she’s on the verge of investing her heart in a certain prince of hell, if he can overcome his literal internal demon.

Lorelei and Kane aren’t the only ones haunted by their histories. When unfamiliar werewolves cause trouble in town, Arrowhead alpha Weston Davies realizes his tragic past is about to catch up with him and threaten the life he's managed to build.

As their problems continue to mount, it becomes clear that unless they face their respective pasts—they'll have no future.

Dead Weight is the fifth book in the Crossroads Queen paranormal and urban fantasy series. For fans of feisty females, found family, romance subplots, tortured demon heroes, and a feel-good vibe.

Love the slow burn and personal feel of the world she created! The narrator seems to care about the content with great voices and she almost seems to enjoy the book with me!

Fun adventure

Paranormal books are usually too dark for me - like the action and suspense, but not the angst. While there are tense scenes, the pace keeps things moving so don’t spend too much time on the heavier stuff. Bravo as I had almost given up on this type of book.

Great story, vivid characters!

Let's start with the rant: First the ghosts, their incessant nagging drives me nuts, learn to shit up, especially during A and B conversations. Or the constant demanding Lorelei do what they think is best and trying to get involved in Lorelei and Kanes "relationship". Ship them to Antarctica for a week, maybe then they will stop interfering. Then let's talk about Mr Alpha Werewolf and the double standard. I can't get into detail without spoiling stuff BUT let's keep in mind that Werewolves aren't human. If you read this book, you'll get it when you get there. Then we have Mr Flamboyant Mage. When someone obviously is spent and says, let's talk later, let it go for crying out loud! I wanted to throttle him. Also! Anna needs to have her teeth kicked out. 😇

Now the review: I really enjoy this series, there isn't much spice, the slow burn is sooooo slow and mostly entertaining. Anyone with half a brain can see Kane likes Lorelei and she just misses it most times and sticks her foot in her mouth. Lorelei, as always finds herself involved in multiple problems and this time they cross over. Lorelei's secret becomes less of a secret (really, that happened the last book, everyone knows the only good secret is one no one knows). She finds out some (interesting?) information about herself and her parents, helps a Fae who shows up, has her number one enemy try and draw her back into his web of bad choices and gets into it with the Werewolves. So much going on and wouldn't you know it, nothing adding to her woefully sad bank account, again.

Fae, Werewolves and vampires, what could go wrong

Oh, it's picking up...

This was actually more fun, and we get to know the repeat characters a little more.

The fight scenes are still below par, but it's still readable.

Good narration
