This book has been on my TBR list for a while now. I liked the book, but it didn't grab me right away. The beginning for me started off a little slow. Don't get me wrong, by the time I got through all the introductions and the basic set-up of the world I was hooked. 
 Price really did a good job creating a fresh new world. This one: witch, magic users, and fae so far. 
 Alex Craft is a grave witch. She can raise "shades" which are essentially memories of a deceased person. She does this as her job, but is barely scrapping by when she gets a call from her sister asking her to look into the death of the Govenor. 
 From there Alex's life becomes pretty complicated. She goes through a lot in this book. 
 The love triangle that's on the horizon wasn't too bad. I usually can't stand them, but then again we ust scraped the surface I think. I'm sure the next book in the series will delve more into the revelations started in this book. Of course I'm talking about: Death and Falin. 
 We've seen Death as a character in many books. With this one Price decides to actually give Death some emotions. He starts out as the stereotypical Death character; showing up when people die, cryptic, quick to disappear again. But by the end of the book, we get to see that there's obviously more going on. I look forward to where this character's set up and subsequent involvement with Alex will go. 
 Falin is a police detective assigned to the Govenor's case. At first we see that he doesn't want anything to do with Alex. And actually, I didn't ever really see the point where he changed his mind about Alex, just all of a sudden they were sleeping together, but we don't really get much more about how he feels. This could be because the story is told in Alex's POV and she doesn't yet want to deal with the things that happen between them. I'm interested to see where this goes from the ending. He saved her life multiple times throughout the book and I actually liked his gruffness with Alex and hope he doesn't lose that. 
 The second book Grave Dance is out now with Grave Memory releasing in July. Until Then!
