heyt's review against another edition
3.0
This is the second in the Alex Craft series and the character is still likeable. I read this quickly and was on the most part entertained by it. I did however get a little second hand embarrassment from Alex as she seemed to be heading a little bit into special snowflake territory with this one. There are noticeable changes to her powers contributed to the ramifications of the first book but the fact that these new changes are omgsorare make me cringe a bit. There is a greater emphasis on the world of faerie making it definitely stand out from the normal urban fantasy fare. I'll probably continue on with this series but it won't be in an omg I just can't wait sort of way.

Not quite as good as [b:Grave Witch|9323761|Grave Witch (Alex Craft, #1)|Kalayna Price|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1301316287s/9323761.jpg|10865876] in terms of character or plot, but still a good read. I had a little trouble giving it my attention through the first half, but by the end it was rolling right along. Bonus points for more PC.

Not as good as the first title, and left a lot of plot threads hanging. However, that's normal in urban fantasy and just means I need to read the third book soon - before I forget about those dangling threads.
Narrator sounded better in this one. Either I'm getting used to her narration style or she's getting more comfortable with the characters.

I read the first one of this series a while ago and it took a few chapters to remember who was who and what was going on. this book was well paced, though, and kept me up until I finished it.

Whenever the first book in a series is really good, I am both leery and excited to start the second. It is hard to imagine that the next book can be just as good, if not better, than the first. And there are plenty of series where the second book simply falls short. This series, is not the case
From beginning to end, Kalayna Price pulls the reader into Alex's story and makes you want to never stop reading. Who is Alex really? Is she human? Is she fae? Or both? Who is Falin? What is going on with Death? Is her old best friend the one causing all the trouble?
I absolutely loved the plot twist at the end of the book. I adore books where I am surprised. If I can figure out what will happen, I get bored. This is one of many reasons why I loved this book.
The only part that I am not fond of is the love triangle going on with Falin and Death. Alex needs to make up her mind and stop leading them both on. Although she is not actively leading them on, by not telling them to stop, she is encouraging their infatuations. She needs to decide who she has feelings for and let that be the end of it.
5/5 stars for me and I cannot wait to read the third book!

I really loved the world building and it's a super cool concept - but I kept getting annoyed with how the main character kept needing to be saved by a man. She has super cool powers with a clear and evident drawback, but she never really learns how to cope with them or create a new avenue to make life easier in a tangible and effective way. Maybe I wanted her to be less flawed? Who knows.
Also, the dog was annoying.
