Alex Craft is a Grave Witch meaning she is a witch who has a connection with the dead, she can see and touch ghosts and she can raise a the memory of a dead person, a shade. She has also recently found out that she is half Fae and is coming into new magical powers such as planeweaving meaning she can touch different planes of reality. Alex has now become partners with her old friend Rianna who has been held captive in Faerie for some years. They have just got an office for their PI business Tongues For The Dead and are looking for their first case which literally falls from the sky for them in the form of a suicide. But as Alex and Rianna dig further into the case they discover that they have a serial killer on the loose who is possessing people and eventually forcing them to take their own lives. Whilst Alex is working her first case she is also dealing with the two hot guys in her life. Death her lifelong friend who is a soul collector that has started having feelings for Alex that he shouldn’t because soul collectors and mortals do not mix. Then there is the Winter Queens assassin Falin Andrews who is under the influence of the Queen and must obey her orders. Things are never easy for poor Alex.

This is a series that you really need to read in order to get the most from the story, there is so much going on and the story follows from one book to the next. It is quite some time since I read the first book so I can’t remember all the details which is a shame, however you do get little snippets here and there of what has happened before so you can pick it up.

I was a bit down on book 2 Grave Dance so whilst looking forward to book 3 I was also a little apprehensive, however I needn’t have been as I really enjoyed it. There is a lot happening in this book but for me it wasn’t as disjointed as I found book 2 to be. The case that Alex and Rianna are working on is exciting and unusual but not overwhelming in information to the point of confusion. Alex’s friends Tamara and Holly who have been constant in the earlier books take more of a back seat in this as the characters seem to grow apart a little bit as their lives change and they have secrets from each other. For those of you like me who are Team Death we do get to learn more about him as Death takes up a starring role in the second half of the book. Falin is under the compulsion of the Winter Queen so we get to see a different side to him but like Holly and Tamara we don’t see Falin that much. I have mixed feelings about the love triangle. I am Team Death but I also like Falin too so I can see why Alex doesn’t know who to choose and I am intrigued to see shich way Ms Price will go with this storyline. I am also really enjoying the introduction of Alex being Fae and I loved it when they venture into Faerie.

There was some re-hashing of the story from time to time which always annoys me in a book. I also found the big climatic ending to be rushed and I must admit I was confused by events that take place so for those reasons I am going to give this book 4 stars. I would recommend this book to those of you who like Urban Fantasy. It really is a great series and this has been my favourite book of it so far.
