If you want to hear voices from the dead in Nekros City, you call Alex Craft. She's a Grave Witch with reasonable rates and extraordinary powers, who specializes in revealing the secrets of the dead. But now she's the one fighting to keep her own secret. She's not human—and her newly discovered heritage is causing havoc for her both in the human realm and in Faerie. But her status as an unaffiliated fae also makes her an ideal candidate to investigate a new street drug that has surfaced in several of the spaces between the human and fae worlds.
This glamour-infused drug causes hallucinations that turn real—at least for a while and often with deadly consequences. Searching for the source of this drug—and its purpose—lands Alex front and center in the conflict brewing in Faerie and she must find answers before she's dragged so deep she loses her freedom.
My thoughts:
I am SO glad that you could just jump back into things cos my knowledge of book 3..or any book ...yikes, it was shaky at best..
Her hidden past.
I was all whaat?
She is Fae? Huh, did not remember that, but good to know. Lol, yes it was like the book was filled with new secrets and I never felt like I missed anything cos I could just read and be surprised.
She is a grave witch, ok that I did remember. She can talk to the dead. Yup.
Her Boyfriend is Death, I did not really like him. (damn it, *reading old review from 4 years back, I used to have a crush on him! Woe is me*
Falin, some guy sent to spy on her is hot. (damn it! I used to think he was just a pretty boy according to that last review)
I obviously went from Team Death to Team Falin. *shrugs* It happens. Since all I remember of any of them is from this book.
Oh I forgot, the actual storyline. A bad drug is causing deaths. She is on the case. The Fae wants her to pick a court. A friend is getting married. Her dad has plans. Something was always happening and then it ended and I need more...a bit quicker this time hopefully.
Conclusion:
Good to be back!

DeleteHa! That's so funny about your old reviews and what you thought of the characters. I have such different tastes now that I'm sure that would happen to me too.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
It as so weird, totally conflicting feelings for this one
DeleteI'm glad it came to you fast considering you've read the rest of the books years ago. :)
ReplyDeleteI have bad memory and it's bad when it's years between reading the books...
ReplyDeleteOur poor brains
DeleteThis week... ack...

DeleteI own the first book in this series..hope to read it soon. Of course I own the first book in about a million series..bwhaha
ReplyDeleteLOL! I hear ya
DeleteThis is one I should probably check out because I swear I am always hearing about the Alex Craft series! Never tried Kalayna Price either and I am always curious to check out a new UF author.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
You should give them a go :)
DeleteSome series release time between books leaves me foggy on the details, too. Glad you were able to get back into the story with little trouble. That's funny how your taste in hero changed. Yes, that does indeed happen. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will check again when the next book comes around ;)
DeleteI forgot many things too when I read this one but it was fun
ReplyDeleteI agree there
DeleteI felt very similar. I was able to jump back in without too many issues. I didn't remember a lot either, but I thought the author did a pretty good job of providing the hints to remind us. I also think I remember liking Death, but I was all about Falin in this book too.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Rabid Reads
Death was very meh. Maybe she meant it like that
DeleteI really want to read this series. I never picked it up b/c I knew people were waiting and waiting for this book.
