"The dead never bothered me. That honor was reserved for the living." Hauling dead people around Manhattan is all in a day's work for body mover Gideon Black. He lives in his van, talks to corpses, and occasionally helps the police solve murders. His life may not be normal, but it's simple enough. Until the corpses start talking back. When Gideon accidently rescues a werewolf in Central Park, he's drawn into the secret world of the Others. Fae, were-shifters, dark magic users and more, all playing a deadly cat-and-mouse game with Milus Dei, a massive and powerful cult dedicated to hunting down and eradicating them all. Then a dead man speaks to him, saying that Milus Dei wants him more than any Other. They'll stop at nothing to capture him and control the abilities he never knew he had. He is the DeathSpeaker. He is the key. And he's not as human as he thought... Life was a whole lot easier when the dead stayed dead.

Gideon Black is transports dead bodies to the morgues and funeral homes as necessary. He becomes involved in transporting dead bodies from a what seems to be a serial killer. He is drawn into a world where there are werewolves and the fae. Apparently he is half fae and was exchanged for a human child to hide him. His human family are quite vicious and he has run from them for years. Meanwhile it seems Milus Dei (a fae) is looking for him and his unevolved powers.
This was a quick read and I was drawn into the world very quickly. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
I was given this book for free from the publisher for an honest review.
