What fun!

Death by Roses is a unique and humorous look at life, death and second chances. The story is full of imagination that will entertain and make you think.

The lead character is not in a good place in her life and her death is not pretty. She dies in the bathroom after a rager induce by an unfaithful husband and totaled car and her own difficult personality. Once in heaven, she insists upon meddling with the living and her spirit is forced to return to earth to share a body with another cranky woman.

This is the first novel for Vivian Probst and I hope there will be more to come. She has been writing for 14 years and her dream of being published came true after she entered and won a writing competition.

Death by Roses is a a wonderful read!

    this book is so up my alley! I am not an avid book reader and it takes a book of certain character to really grab me…this one does it! I am a believer in the after life and yet love the twist and imagination this book brings with it…I would definitely enjoy reading this one, and sharing it with friends when im done!! good luck to all!

    I think I would greatly enjoy this book – what makes it extra interesting is that the story carries on in the afterlife!
