I seriously can't get enough of Alona and Will. They seem like such an unlikely pairing, but that makes them so much better. They would make such a cute couple, you know if Alona wasn't a ghost. 
 Alona's parents are moving on without her and she's taking it personally. Her father is going to have a new baby girl and her mom is packing up all her stuff. She's pretty put out and want's it fixed, only Will won't help her so she resorts to other, not so great methods, even though she knows it's wrong. 
 I don't want to say too much but Alona's choice has serious consequences for other people and even though her plan didn't work how she intended it to work she still knew what she was doing when she did it. 
 Will and Alona meet Mina, another ghost talker. Alona doesn't like or trust her one bit, but Will is very curious. He learns a lot more about his father and some of the ins and outs of his abilities. And goes from one scary situation to another. 
 Mina has a very self serving attitude, and it's always about what's good for her, but after you learn a little more about her family you begin to understand. 
 There is a fair amount of conflict between Will and Alona throughout Queen of the Dead. It's pretty frustrating too because of the alternating narration you know what's going on and you just want to fix it for them! 
 The ending was a bit of a surprise and a definite cliff hanger. I'm so glad I didn't read this until Body & Soul came out because I have to know what happens!
