The Grief Nurse by Angie Spoto (Sandstone Press)

It all starts at a big event, a big celebration after the death of the son of a rich and prominent family. They are all happy, radiant/Bright, and joyful as they feel no sorrow, pain, or regret. All grief was taken away from them by their resident grief nurse, Lynx. The biggest question that arises is who will succeed the son's grief nurse and how will such competition affect Lynx and her status in the household.

Descriptions of grief are full of imagination, as grief can be beautiful, but is grief just some kind of cage that hinders Lynx's freedom?

I was seduced by the beautiful cover and the description of the story, but despite the extraordinary idea, the story didn't convince me. The reading dragged on and on, and the author did not pay enough attention to the depth of the protagonist and described too many side characters and their countless names, which are actually irrelevant to the main thread of the story.

The compelling idea about negative emotions, but unfortunately, this is not the book for me.
