I’m Okay, You’re Dead
By Cheryl Dragon
The Lotus Circletrade paperback, 255 pages
$7.99

In I’m Okay, You’re Dead, Cheryl Dragon introduces us to a world where ghosts are real, psychic talents solve crimes, and Deanna Oscar is more in the closet than her drag queen friend, Ivy. Taking the reader on a journey through New Orleans, with its unique blend of customs and people, Ms. Dragon pens a tale that holds on and just doesn’t let go.

She creates a varied cast of characters, all of whom you can empathize with. And secrets abound. In a creepy tale of twins separated by death, Deanna’s forced to use her burgeoning psychic skills to help solve a series of grisly murders involving little girls. This suspenseful tale isn’t a “who done it” type mystery, for Deana knows who the killer is. The problem, she has to convince the police that she knows what she’s talking about. She’s an Oscar, after all, and they are known for their skills.

With an intricate plot weaving, sympathetic characters, and quite a few loose ends in Deana’s personal life, I found this a book reminiscent of Evelyn Vaughn’s excellent work, including her RITA award winning novel AKA Goddess. Ms. Dragon is an author to watch, and I can’t wait to see what adventures she has in store for Deana next!
