The Grimy and The Greedy by Meaghan Curley
3.5 stars
The Grimy And The Greedy is a paranormal thriller with a bit of a comedy sub theme; in short it is about the death of a woman and her long reach from the grave.
Fizzy is at work when she learns of her Grandmother’s death; the news does not come as too much of a shock as few people liked the woman. Fizzy even throws a party to celebrate. However, Grandma Jeanette is still pulling strings from her grave and one of those demands is that Fizzy will attend her funeral.
Jeanette also holds a bar owner to a favour that he owes her; he is given the task of getting Fizzy to the funeral, or his own mother will die.
The story is fast-paced and full of twists, so much that at times I wasn’t quite sure what was happening. It’s a mix of dreams, fantasy and the supernatural all drawn together by colourful descriptions and language; I wouldn’t recommend it to those easily offended by swearing.

The odious Jeanette Sobriquet is dead and her granddaughter, Fizzy, is too relieved to grieve. Unfortunately for her, when Fizzy announces her refusal to attend the abusive woman’s funeral, her life becomes a living nightmare. Now, she has demons, ghosts, and the threat of homelessness hunting her down, all demanding she caves into the dead woman’s iron will.
Bar owner, Affidious Dixon, is forced to carry out Fizzy’s dead grandmother’s last requests; otherwise, the ghost of the Bosnian war criminal that is following him around will murder his mother.
The Grimy & the Greedy is a comedic paranormal thriller about one woman’s fight to save herself from tyrannical death customs and one man’s journey to save his mother from pure evil.
