Although the necromancer story was relatively interesting, [b:Grave Ransom|32764660|Grave Ransom (Alex Craft, #5)|Kalayna Price|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1490033914s/32764660.jpg|21890688] felt a bit like it was “treading water” as far as character development went – nothing new in faery, nothing new with Alex’s friends, and mostly nothing new with Death or Falin.
I’m a huge Death fan, so maybe it was just he didn’t feature much in this book. And it looks like he won’t feature too much in the next book either

Fun urban fantasy novel, although it's basically one of those books where we run around with the protagonist/narrator for almost the entire book and then everything - including motivations and solutions - is revealed at the very end; there really wasn't foreshadowing or any information that the reader could have used to get some sense of what was going on.

My memory was a bit shaky. It was 1,5 years since I read book 4. My memory was shaky in that review too as the space between book 3 and 4 was 3 years. And that is why you have reviews! I also never felt lost for a second, the author is good at that.
I used to be so Team Death, quite sad, it seemed the time between book 3 and 4 changed that, and now again it changed. He is just so distant, and he is obviously dead. Not the best boyfriend material. Sorry girlfriend but you can do better *coughs Faelan coughs*.
Alex is a grave witch, she can speak with the dead, she can raise their shades. She know things about the dead that others do not. She is also Fae and learning about her new abilities. But she is not equipped to deal with zombies or what on earth are crawling around Necro at the moment.
Luckily she has friends, a distant boyfriend *hmpf* and a pesky agent that wants her help. She may not be physically kick-ass but she can do other things. And I like that, her powers leaves her so depleted that she goes blind. Not that that is a good thing! But it makes her human *wink wink*.
I enjoyed this adventure and I am hungry for more.
Narrator Emily Durante
I think it was a good thing there was some time between my last visit to this world. Because after 4 books in print and then suddenly one in audio, well I might have had my own idea of her voice. But like it was now, Emily's voice is Alex and she does her well, and everyone else too. Though Death did sound very grim, oh the puns keep rolling off me today.
