As a Grave Witch, Alex solves murders by raising the dead—an ability that comes at a cost, and after her last few cases, that cost is compounding. But her magic isn’t the only thing causing havoc in her life. While she’s always been on friendly terms with Death himself, things have recently become a whole lot more close and personal. Then there’s her sometime partner, agent Falin Andrews, who is under the glamour of the Winter Queen. To top everything off, her best friend has been forever changed by her time spent captive in Faerie.
But the personal takes a backseat to the professional when a mysterious suicide occurs in Nekros City and Alex is hired to investigate. The shade she raises has no memory of the days leading up to his brutal ending, so despite the very public apparent suicide, this is murder. But what kind of magic can overcome the human will to survive? And why does the shade lack the memory of his death? Searching for the answer might mean Alex won’t have a life to remember at all…
My thoughts:
Just because I have a crush on Death this is how I am gonna start:
'O, Death. O, Death.
Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Well, what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell'
-traditional
Yes he is one of those big crushes cos he is always just there, staring. While Falin is a stupid pretty boy Fae. I am team Death in this one.
Anyway, Alex has a new case. The ghosts are being all weird. So she is investigating. Trying to keep a check on Faerie, and spending some time with her friends. Oh and then there is the whole Falin and Death thing.
I do wonder what she will do about her Fae heritage, which court she will choose, will she find happiness? All questions I really want answers too. But the author is not making it easy for her. Not at all.
Conclusion:
As the next book is not out yet I will sit here waiting cos I want more.

ReplyDeleteI hope you will love it then!

ReplyDeleteHaha, I should stay away too from those ;)
DeleteI hope you will get to read it soon then ;) You can always wait until all are out but that can take years
ReplyDeleteI've already pre-ordered the next book but it will be a long wait until it comes out! :-)
ReplyDeleteI know, so long, I do hate waiting the most
DeleteWhat is it about death in these UF and PNR books? I think if he looked the way we keep hearing NO one would be afraid of death. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo need to start this series!
Haha, true. We would be all, Death! YO! Hugs and kisses please ;) But then he is just one of many and the rest are not as hot
DeleteD'oh. Now I have that song stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love that song
DeleteI always love Death when he's a character in a series. I mean - how could you not?
ReplyDeleteAnd Fae don't do much for me. They seem to be all illusion and trickery and I get tired of that after a while.
When I think about it..yes it all goes back to Pratchett and Death there.
DeleteThey sure are
hahaha never thought I'd hear someone say, "Team Death". Interesting....
ReplyDeleteYes...weird, lol
DeleteNow I'm totally curious as to whether I'd be team Death too. Something tells me I would, based on the description. :-) Great review!
ReplyDeleteHehe, you totally would be. I do not know how anyone could say no
