I'm happy to report that I enjoyed this one more than the first. While I still don't like the idea of having a grim reaper as a real character (and a potential love interest at that!), I was more comfortable with him this time around. Alex is as enjoyable a heroine as usual, especially as we find out more of the mystery surrounding her abilities, history and genetics. Falin is back but the role is changed due to revelations from the first novel. He's as yummy and interesting as ever.
One of the main contradictory elements of the story stands as Alex's abilities and disabilities. Her powers come at high cost - when she uses her grave sight, she's temporarily blinded. Raising shades from bodies come with a price as well. Trying to blend the costs of her abilities while being forced to use them, amidst the confusing mess of characters who are all mysterious with their own hidden agendas, makes fun reading. Having to weight whether the risk is worth it to use an ability or not sometimes results in disastrous repercussions.
The author injected more enthusiasm this time because of how in-depth the fae world has grown. It's almost like an adult, surreal fairytale at times. The different characters were fascinating, especially the almost funny Nightmare Man. The Witch and King were unique as well, helping make this flow quickly into an easy read. Price again writes with a talented hand, including a depth of detail to make the literary world come alive in convincing, alluring ways.
While the first didn't have a plot issue, the plot for this one was even better. There are so many possible personal disasters now for Alex and several characters that it's easy to become engrossed. A hefty dose of suspense, too, as in the fae situations much was at stake. Price is a gifted writer with her phrasing and keeping the moment taut when much is at hand.
It seems the love triangle is still here and planting itself even stronger.
As before, the book really takes off toward the end, making it engrossing more then than when initially starting it. The series so far has its up and downs for me, being mediocre on some fronts while excelling in others. I'm anxious to read the third after that cliffhanger.

the dynamic between alex and death in this one is evolving as we see more of that tall dark and delicious hunk
I really like all the information on the Fae clan but I have my eyes on Caleb
In this book Alex is trying to protect the independant Faes against the Winter Queen who is using a police investigation to reign them onto her control. She is also ripping through reality and loosing those dearest to her
Her friend "Show Girl" Riana is also more actively involved in this book but there is still some mystery.
It’s action packed and an awesome read!!
Can’t wait for book 3

All I can say is “meh.”
The first book showed promise, and I was excited for this one, but it felt like it was just playing into the same tired cliches of every other faerie tale and urban fantasy out there.
I guess the one positive thing I can say about the book is it held my attention well enough for me to finish it.
Don’t know that I’ll read the next book, though.

I have mixed feelings about this book. In some ways, it was really drab, and other ways were really interesting. I mostly find the love triangle to be overplayed and unsatisfying. Overall, it was a fun read, and I'm hoping the plot will build more in the next book.
The book did well in advancing the universe that the series is set in with more information regarding Faerie and her Fae heritage.
However, the book didnt answer questions too well regarding the individual mystery and was not as concisely written.
I still enjoyed it and will return for the next book

Much like the first book in the series, Grave Dance was an extremely predictable, easy paranormal read. I'll probably continue with the series just because they are all available with no wait at my library, and my brain hasn't wanted to think too much in the evenings lately.
I'm currently on an Urban Fantasy kick. My brain is craving candy, I guess.
I thought the first book was good, but man this was even better. Alex is her same wonderful self, and now there’s even more sexual tension between her and Death (and yes I ship that pretty freaking hard–Death is hot and he loves her and I just have a lot of feelings about this okay???).
I loved the plot of this book, it was so interesting and intriguing and there were so many twists and turns. Some things I guessed, some things took my completely by surprise, and some things I better find out in book 3 because if I don’t I will go insane. It was fast-paced and kept me on the edge of my seat pretty much the entire time. I wanted to know more and there were so many surprises that I felt my head spinning (in a good way!).
I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Alex in book 3. I can’t tell you how much I love this series, it’s just so fantastically written, and the characters are amazing, and I just love this book.
