I really want to give this book a 4 1/2 star rating but Goodreads doesn't do half stars so a 4 it will have to be. I can't give it a 5 because of a certain character in the book, who just plain irritates me, but more about him later.

Alex decides in this book to start her own paranormal/ghost investigation business with her best friend Rianna. One afternoon they hear a commotion and find that a man has committed suicide by jumping off the roof of a motel, except his ghost, which Alex can see and I really want to give this book a 4 1/2 star rating but Goodreads doesn't do half stars so a 4 it will have to be.

Alex decides in this book to start her own paranormal/ghost investigation business with her best friend Rianna. One afternoon they hear a commotion and find that a man has committed suicide by jumping off the roof of a motel, except his ghost, which Alex can see and hear, is adamant that he didn't commit suicide. Rianna gives her business card to the police officer to pass to the widow, who does turn up at the office, hiring the girls to find out who really killed her husband.

Alex's investigation into his death soon escalates into something she could not possibly have ever imagined and the perpetrator is not something or someone she has ever dealt with before and has no idea how to stop either. There are also other attacks and murders that Alex is accused of being the mastermind behind and her relations with the police force are stretched very thinly because of this false accusation. But how are these attacks connected to the suicides???

The love triangle is still going on as well with Falin and Death and Alex can't decide what she really feels about either of them, but her feelings don't really matter as she can't have either of them. I really feel for her here. She struggles to push her feelings aside and every time she see either of them, her feelings come rushing straight back to the surface.

Now Falin is the one who irritates me. He is nothing but a puppet for the Winter Queen and despite admitting his feelings towards her, he is compelled by the Queen to treat her in a truly offhandish way. I wish he could find some way of being true to Alex, but really I want him to just disappear so Alex can be with Death, but at the minute that one is not really possible either. I just hope she is able to choose between them and be with them in the next book. ...more

Review to come, but ... I liked Grave Memory almost as much as the previous books. Boy is Alex a trouble magnet though.

One thing that ended up bugging me a bit about midway through the book is that I think I am ready to ditch the love triangle it is starting to make Alex seem like a love the one you're with kind of girl - and just when it looks like there is some motion in one direction, Price starts pulling back in the other. However, unless I am missing something, with the way things stand ri ...more
