Have you read The Dead Road yet? I was unfortunately kind of disappointed :'(. There was a severe lack of Jonah whump and it was a lot shorter than the other two and didn't feel like it added much to the series. The first book in particular really did spoil us. It's probably the most satisfying whumpy book I've ever read honestly.

I have read the Dead Road and I agree! It was a good book but I definitely enjoyed the first two books (Reviver over Lost Souls) much more. And it probably was because of the lack of Jonah whump lol. We were so spoiled by the other books haha. The Dead Road just was not as good. Which is sad.

Can I just say how absolutely tickled I am that people are reading the Reviver books? Because I've been alone in my love of these whumpy books for so long. The whole concept is so good and the whump is good and Jonah is an A+ top tier whumpee and I'm so glad to share my excitement with others.

I had a horrible idea for a whumpee. they are a supernatural detective with a power of some sort, in the sense that when they approach a dead body, they experience the deceased's last moments. if it was a peaceful death, they don't mind. but they most often are assigned to murders or suspicious deaths, leading to them constantly having to use their power and see if the death was a) an accident and b) if they saw who killed them. they're basically transported into the deceased's shoes for as long as it took for them to die. apologies if this makes no sense. it's like 2 am I should be in bed

OOOOOHHHH!!! My friend. My friend I have some excellent news for you. You need to read this book series that I absolutely adore that is so whumpy and is JUST what you've described. It's called Reviver by Seth Patrick (and it's two sequels Lost Souls and The Dead Road). It's about a man named Jonah Miller who is a forensic reviver. Revivers have the ability to wake the recent dead. As a forensic reviver, Jonah goes to crime scenes, wakes the dead, and not only tries to ask them who killed them/how they died, but also let's them have a moment with their family is applicable. It's such an amazing book series and it's so whumpy and I recommend it all the time lol.

So yeah, you're 1000% right, that is SUCH A GOOD WHUMPEE IDEA!!!!!!!

Ace, I have to thank you for introducing me to the Reviver series! I'm having such a great time reading it. I doubt I'd ever have discovered it otherwise.

I'm almost done with book two now and I'm not sure I've ever loved a book character as much as I love Jonah! I relate so much to his introversion. He's just such a lovely character, so sweet and sensitive and the fact that he is a cat lover too?  And I love how he's not afraid to express his emotions. That's nice to see with a male character. And I adore his friendship with Never. Seriously guys, if you haven't read it already you totally should. It's like non stop whump. The characters really go through it both physically and emotionally.  

I'd love to see this get adapted (then again if they casted someone I didn't like as Jonah I'd be too bitter about it 😂).

Ahhh!! I'm so glad people are reading Reviver and liking it!! I've spent so long with no one having heard of it and my love of Jonah Miller had nowhere to go lol. Isn't he just the best!! He's perfect for this community. He's kind and funny and smart and introverted and a cat lover and gets the shit kicked out of him all the time. Ugh I just love him so much. I'm so so happy you do too!! And yes his friendship with Never is amazing and one of my favorite things. They're so different but care about each other so much. It's amazing.

*gasps* OOOOH it would make such a cool tv series!!!!!! I NEED IT!!!! (but also yes to the casting lol. I don't know who I'd want but yeah it's gotta be perfect)

Hey Ace!!! Hope you're well. Lost Souls Anon here! Just wanted to thank you for your lovely offer. You're the sweetest! Luckily I managed to get hold of a second hand copy from Ebay 🤗! Front and back cover is peeling a bit but apart from that it's in good condition. Brother is also kindly letting me use his spotify to listen to the audiobook. I'm very excited to get to it once I've finished my current read. I can't wait to tab the shit out of it!

Yay!!! Oh I'm so glad you found a copy to read!! I hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed the first book! And i'm gonna say it again but i'm so glad you gave it a read and that you liked it!!! They're such good books! Let me know how the audiobook is! I've never tried it but if it's good (especially for the whumpy bits) then i might have to give it a try.

Ace, I'm so annoyed!!! I finished reading The Reviver last month and was planning on reading Lost Souls next month and.. this damn book is not available anywhere! I can only find a handful of secondhand copies online that appear to be in poor condition or from America so high postage costs since I'm in the UK. Not available in my local library. And there's no available ebook either! This is just cruel. I adore Jonah so much and I need more of him and his found family.

Ahh oh my god that's so frustrating!!! Lost Souls is so good too. I love that you enjoyed Reviver and love Jonah as much as I do!!! That makes me so happy. Nonny if you wanted to direct message me privately I may or may not have a pdf or an epub of Lost Souls I could send you. I have to look at my library but I'm fairly certain I've got it.
