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.

Grave Dance had a really rough beginning. I'm not sure why Alex seemed so incompetent during the first half, but she kept getting herself into dangerous situations due to her inability to connect the dots and think Real Thoughts. The plot did get a lot better during the second half as the mystery started to unravel, though, and I really enjoyed getting to learn a little bit more about the courts.
Things I could have done without: the romance.

I love the characters, but in some places there is too much description used, causing parts of the story to drag on.

Alex Craft's story continues and this part is packed with action, interesting magic and an intriguing mystery.
A weird case that Alex is asked to consult with the police on begins a series of events that gets her unwillingly but unavoidably more entwined with the fae world. She is growing into her powers, and she has to learn the hard way how to use them.
Things are complicated in her personal life, with Falin reappearing after an unexplained absence and Death changing the rules of their relationship, and while I like Death and would like to know more about him,.
Regardless, I am curious to see what direction the story will take and I look forward to reading the next book in the series, [b:Grave Memory|12620451|Grave Memory (Alex Craft, #3)|Kalayna Price|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327930692s/12620451.jpg|17649917].
