It took me about 85% maybe longer to finally guess the-who-done-it. I was like who the @&$! Is the bad guy. And the whole time I’m trying to figure out what her dad saw or knew that led him to persuade Alex to take the case. And it’s not until almost the end of the book that you’re like 🤯 wow! Two birds with one stone. And we can’t not not mention the double cherry 🍒 on top ending. “Ding dong the witch is dead” That’s all I’m gonna say. 😉

Audiobook

Had a bit of a hard time getting into it as it's been a while since I read the last book. Once I got going it was good. I finished knitting a pair of socks. ;)

I really enjoyed Grave Destiny; Alex seemed to take some big strides towards her destiny. I have some guesses about where the series is heading and I mostly like it.

That said, I miss Death!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope we see more of him in the next books.

I have spent most of the series not particularly liking Falin. He seems like he wants to be with Alex, but as soon as the Winter Queen calls, he runs to her and he barely even looks at Alex. Yes, I know it is the compulsion spell but all I can think is “cheating husband.” I’m sure that will change in future books, but it is too late for me.

I do quite like Dugan, though, and I am wondering what his role will be in future books.

I’m not sure I can wait for the next one.

Part of the book were a bit slow for my liking, I guessed pretty early on who was behind everything. But I really enjoyed the ending. I can't wait for the next book.

I do like historical romance on audio, but urban fantasy I have discovered to work just as well. Some genres to seem to click more and get even better in audio. And this one certainly did just that.

Alex gets a new case. A dead body in Faerie and possible war if a killer is not caught. I never remember who I ship since the wait between books is usually quite long. So Faelan who? Stop crying over spilled milk, Dugan seems juicy! As it is no Alex is not dating anyone (still miss you Death!), Faelan and her, well they did have their fling and now she has to work with him since he is a knight and agent. And Dugan, is the Shadow Prince who hires her. And yes, I like him, I wish she could like him back *sighs*

Faerie is not easy to navigate through. Everyone has hidden agendas. The Winter Queen is a b*tch. The other regents are no better. Though Dugan's dad did seem ok. This is not just a murder investigation, there are toes that can not be stepped upon. Feathers that can not be ruffled. And there is a baddie in the wings trying to cause war (I did guess who quite easily, I wonder why they did not).

The narration is great, there is always something behind the corner so you keep listening to know more. Like I said, UF does seem to be great for audio.

The end promises more hardship to come, and I can't wait! Must have more.

Narrator
She does the voices well, everyone has their sound. It is easy to follow along. She keeps up the tension and speed. And she makes this to an enjoyable listen that has me clamoring for more.

This might be one of my favorite in the series. I love the Prince of Shadows so much and the ending was amazing! I can’t believe the next book is the last in the series I never want this world to end. Per usual team Falin and I hate the Winter Queen. Really cool with the Mender coming through with Planeweaving.
