Publisher's summary

After a month spent recovering from a vicious fight with a sorcerer, grave witch Alex Craft is ready to get back to solving murders by raising the dead. With her love life in turmoil, thanks to the disappearance of Fae Investigation Bureau agent Falin Andrews and a shocking "L" word confession from Death himself, Alex is eager for the distractions of work. But her new case turns out to be a deadly challenge.

The police hire Alex to consult on a particularly strange investigation in the nature preserve south of Nekros City. The strange part: There are no corpses, only fragments of them. A serial killer is potentially on the loose, and Alex has no way to raise a shade without a body, so she’ll have to rely on the magic of others to find leads. But as she begins investigating, a creature born of the darkest magic comes after her. Someone very powerful wants to make sure the only thing she finds is a dead end - her own.

Investigate another paranormal case with Alex Craft.

Getting better...

So Book 2 of this Alex Craft series starts to give us some originality. Now it still has quite a few similar traits to the Merry Gentry and Charley Davidson series, but I can see the author start to break away and really show us this new world she has created.

We get a chance to meet the Winter Queen and learn why Faelin is bond to her. Unfortunately, there is still the love triangle story line between her, Faelin, and Death. Personally, I am so tired of the all love triangle story angles... but maybe this one will really impress me in the end.

I must say I'm rather impressed with the amount of activity in this novel. There is a murder investigation, love story, abductions, different fae realms, ballroom dancing, and breaks in reality. I felt as busy as the characters. This is something I tend to like in novels. No one faces just one dilemma at a time, so I like when my fantasy reflects that.

I seem to be disappointed in endings lately, and this book joins the club in that category. Climax is built up correctly but the resolution is bland.

Dance

I was expect her to dance. Her dancing would raise the death. I was expecting something different I guess

Okay Series

Respectable 2nd book for this series. I like lots of action & on a scale of 1 to 10 this rated a 4 on the action scale. That said it has an okay storyline. The main character has grave magic which allows her to raise shades & to see death. The plot drags a little in a few scenes but overall it was worth a credit. I'll listen to the next book in the series at some point after I get through several others on my list. The narrator is okay. Not distracting but doesn't really add anything to the listen. Others have rated this series as 4/5 but I just don't get that.
