A fun read that entertained but had many bumps and hiccups. The story surrounds two men for hire. They work as a team because one can do what the other cannot. Ford is alive and therefore takes out the living. His partner, Neuland, is of the undead and he takes out his kind. When a job turns south and they must flee, they find themselves without work until Tilda shows up. Little do they know what they are in for.
The story is a really cool idea. I really liked the two main characters. The tale itself starts to crumble when Tilda is introduced and keeps crumbling from there. I'm not sure why she is kept in the story. Her dialogue doesn't even seem like it would come from a real person and she causes more of a hindrance than anything else. Then we meet the man who is paying for the duo's services, and he is even worse. He is supposed to come across as this evil, decrepit man but just comes off as an idiot. Who talks like that??? It is so stupid. The book probably would've been better off with less talking and more action. As for the creature, kudos to it as it came off as creepy and terrifying and yet I had a little empathy for it.
All in all, it was a good read but could've been better.

A great little story with characters that need to continue on in another book!
