The Undead Complex is the second book in Courtney Smyth's Undetectables series and it is a strong addition. The set up is clever, with the team being tasked to investigate the murder of Diana's ex- girlfriend Taylor- by Taylor herself who is decidedly not dead despite appearances. This means the team going under cover on the set of a tv series to try to root out the killer. However that is not the only problem faced by the Undetectables, something is wrong with their ghostly pal Theo and time may be running out to help him, especially if he continues to deny that anything is wrong.
While you could read this book as a stand alone I think the reader would enjoy it much more having read the first book, the heart of the series is the friendship between the members of the Undetectables team which is established in book one and built upon here. I really appreciated the disability representation, Mallory , the forensic expert on the team has Fibromyalgia and throughout the book there is a real effort to show not just how it impacts her on a daily basis but also how important and impactful accommodations and acknowledgements are. There is also some really good queer representation and a slow burning romance that had me rooting for the characters in question to get it together.
In terms of the plot of this book, it is quite convoluted at times, I definitely needed to pay attention to keep up with what was going on, but it was cleverly done. The mystery is resolved by the end of the book but that does not mean I was not left wanting more, there is a little reveal that will keep me eagerly awaiting the next book.
I read and reviewed an ARC courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher, all opinions are my own.

Such a great follow up to the series. I love the characters so much. Queer, ,mysteries and magic, what more could we ask for?

This sequel to the Undetectables was great! The plot twist at the very end left me shaking my kindle, trying to get one more page! The characters only got better in this installment and the supernatural world was once again very well written.

The Undead Complex is such a good story. I recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can because it's so immaculate the story that was created, the plot was fabulous.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publishers for sending me a copy in exchange for a review.

This is the sequel to The Undetectables, and the plot just got more deadly, heightened and complicated than ever! I loved every minute of this, especially with it being more from Diana's point of view, whereas the first was from Mallory. I hope the next instalment is from Cornelia's, given the plot twist dropped on us in the very last line - not cool, I need the next one immediately.

The character development was really interesting, and I look forward to learning more about what is going on with Theodore. Courtney Smyth has really turned it up a notch.

If you enjoy a group of friends turned found family fighting supernatural crime (almost in a Scooby Doo vibe) then this series is begging for you to read it!

The Undetectables, a private investigative agency run by three witches and a ghost, are still recovering from their last murder case when Diana’s ex, Taylor, approaches them with another. And the victim appears to be Taylor herself…

I loved being back in the supernatural world of this series, and spending time with its impossible-not-to-love characters again. The Undead Complex is set five months after the events of The Undetectables (the first book in the series), and I loved that we get to see the effects of the events of that book. This one is best enjoyed with its prequel fresh in the mind, but can also be read as a standalone. The character development is superb, and this series does a fantastic job of queer and disabled representation. I particularly loved the romance storylines.

This one was very nearly a five-star read for me, although the plot felt a little convoluted at times, and I can’t wait for the next book in the series. With each book, I fall in love a little more with the world-building and characterisation, both of which are incredible. I loved that The Undead Complex brought its main plot to a satisfying close, while also leaving plenty of unanswered questions to keep the reader wanting more. It’s me, I want more!
