DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS is MaryJanice Davidson's follow up to the fantastic HELLO, GORGEOUS. In HELLO, GORGEOUS, the reader first met many of the characters from this latest novel and their various personalities were better established. The dislike for The Boss was also better explained in the first novel and new readers will be left a bit confused as to why there is such an intense dislike for The Boss. MaryJanice Davidson does provide an introduction that summarizes the first novel but the true essence of the first novel cannot be summarized. This reviewer, while a huge fan of MaryJanice Davidson, was a bit disappointed as the characters seemed more superficial and the scenarios a bit outrageous at times.

MaryJanice Davidson's light and breezy tone is a mainstay in her novels and DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS is no exception. There is a hint of the paranormal as Jenny's friend and employer, Caitlyn, and her husband, Dmitri, are enhanced with nanobyte technology. However, this is primarily a humorous, contemporary romance that will appeal to most MaryJanice Davidson fans.
