The Corpse In the Closet (Riley Thorn #2)
ByPublisher Description
From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over Summer is heating up for reluctant psychic Riley Thorn and her handsome private investigator boyfriend, Nick Santiago. First, her disapproving grandmother arrives determined to make Riley take her powers seriously or face the wrath of "the Guild." Then there's the homicide detective who needs her help figuring out who murdered the well-dressed corpse in the walk-in closet. Nick's got his own hands full with a tricky missing person case and his parents who want to know why he didn't tell them about his live-in girlfriend. Then there's the fact that he's still the tiniest bit stressed about Riley almost getting murdered earlier that summer. The last thing he wants is her getting involved in another investigation. Things go from bad to worse when the body count starts stacking up, the meet-the-parents dinner goes horribly wrong, and their elderly roommate is up to no good…dressed like a mime. To top it off, Riley is forced to return to Channel 50 on official police business to question her spray-tanned news anchor ex-husband and his new weather girl fiancée. The trouble comes to a head when Riley receives a warning from the Back off or she's next. Someone has to solve these murders before she becomes the next corpse.

Honestly, the first book was pretty mid to me but I enjoyed it enough to check this one out. While this wasn’t quite as entertaining as the first, it’s still cute enough for what it is.
The humor is still sometimes funny, sometimes horrible cringe—I think the amount of fart jokes multiplied exponentially in this installment and had me actually rolling my eyes every time another one played out—and the characters remain both lovable, whacky, and over-the-top. Nick and Riley’s relationship continues to develop, and I liked that there were no stupid third act breakups or miscommunications. Everything was laid out and communicated well like the grown adults they are, even if they’re both new to this relationship. Just lots of banter and love and homegrown bickering. Super well done there!
It’s a very fun, quick read, but this one was honestly a little bit too over-the-top and cringe for me. I’ll still be checking out the next one because of the slight cliffhanger this one left off on, but I’m hoping it’ll take a slightly more serious tone again like the first book did.”
