The Body Shop

In The Body Shop, Hailey Edwards pulls readers into a world where the line between life and death isn’t as clear as it seems. Set in the seemingly ordinary town of Thunderbolt, Georgia, this urban fantasy series introduces a truly unique concept—an auto repair garage that serves an entirely different purpose: helping the recently deceased resolve unfinished business. At the heart of it all is Frankie Talbot, a skilled necromancer whose work brings her face to face with the afterlife’s mysteries and the darker corners of human nature.

Frankie’s business is anything but typical. Alongside her eclectic crew, which includes a dryad and a dream walker, she navigates a labyrinth of supernatural encounters, solving problems that go beyond fixing cars. With each ghostly client, Frankie delves into their past, unearthing secrets that challenge everything she thought she knew about death—and herself. The series explores themes of redemption, personal growth, and the often complicated relationships between the living and the dead, making for a deeply emotional and engaging experience.

The Body Shop consists of five books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
