For fans of the contemporary urban fantasy series of Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Chloe Neill and Karen Chance, Kalayna Price brings us Grave Memory, the third novel in the Alex Craft series about a kick-ass grave witch who can communicate with the dead.
When the dead need to talk, Alex Craft is always ready to listen . . .
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 string of suicides occur in Nekros City and Alex is hired to investigate. The shades have no memory of the days leading up to their brutal endings, so despite the very public apparent suicides, this is murder. But what kind of magic can overcome the human will to survive? And why do the shades lack the memory of their deaths? Searching for the answer might mean Alex won't have a life to remember at all . . .
Grave Memory is the devilishly brilliant sequel to Grave Witch and Grave Dance, and not to be missed.
