The whole dying thing sucked, but Frankie isn’t going to dwell. She’s focusing on the positive. She’s alive. Ish. Her family is safe. Her business is booming. She’s even got a boyfriend. Everything is coming up roses in Thunderbolt, Georgia.
Until a client decides she needs more time and makes a run for it in her loaner body. Too bad for the client, the last thing Frankie does before a loaner hits the showroom floor is microchip them for this very reason. Finding the runaway soul will be a piece of cake.
Or it would have been if she hadn’t bumped into Carter, who’s working a case that gets tangled up in Frankie’s repo. Missing women. Stolen cars. Alien abductions? The only way to get Frankie out of trouble is to help Carter uncover who’s behind it all. And pray the answer isn’t her client.

Midnight Auto Parts is the third installment in author Hailey Edwards's The Body Shop series. This story takes place mostly in a place called Thunderbolt, Georgia. There is a lot to take in with this story. First, Frankie is now different after dying and being reborn. She is getting used to her new circumstances thanks to Kierce, who has turned into a solid character and a better support outlet for Frankie. Second, her Body Shop business seems to be back on track until a client disappears with a loaner body. Frankie doesn't think it will be a problem since she has chosen to put trackers on the body to ensure she can find it. The only problem is that the body disappears.
Third, while searching for said body, Frankie encounters Carter, who is working on a case that intersects with Frankie's since it appears that women and cars are disappearing. Could this be alien abductions? So, Frankie, Kierce, who has steadily influenced Frankie since she was reborn, and Carter decide to work together. Unfortunately, someone from Carter's unit 512 seems to be very interested in Frankie, so we will see where that goes. If that weren't enough, Frankie also has to deal with Ankou's return and Kierce's boss, Dis Pater, after she suddenly gets the new ability to astral project, which causes Frankie's mentor, Vionette Fontenot aka Vi, to have stress issues.
Oh, and let's not forget that Frankie catches the eyes of a guardian who is very angry that someone is messing with the bones of the lost she is supposed to protect. Fortunately for Frankie, she has an amazing support group. A sister (Josie) who everyone's afraid of getting on the wrong side of (including Frankie), a brother (Matty) who can stand beside her even in her dreams, a redcap (Carter) who is turning out to be more of a friend than Harrow, a crow (Badb) who is fiercely protective, and of course Kierce who has proven that Frankie no longer needs to have Harrow around when she needs help.
And...finally...this book ends on a cliffhanger thanks to something that happens to a secondary character, and no, I will not spoil it.
