“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, golems 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.

Summary
This is an urban fantasy. No cliffhanger, no sex, lots of violence but nothing overly descriptive. It's part of a series and there isn't exactly a HEA, but everybody lives so that's a plus.
This story was pretty straight forward. It wasn't hard to figure out the players and the plot was simple enough. The whole story was an adventure - kind of a death at every turn kind of adventure. This world focused on the OtherWorld. Gideon is the main character and though he is clueless to begin with, it was a sink or swim sort of scenario. If he didn't figure out the puzzle, he was dead.
The secondary characters were ok. They were put together well enough, but I did have a tough time picturing them. I liked the story and it wasn't complicated. If you want a good book that is 98% action and adventure, this story would be right up your alley.
