Do you want a book that take a hold of your full attention from the first chapter until the end? Then Shallow Graves is for you. This novel is not at all what I expected. I was in a kind of roller coaster ride while I was reading the book. There were a lot of stuff that I really liked and made the book standout but there are certain things that left me confuse as well and it's making me demand for a sequel.
Breezy was a such a refreshing character. I'm gonna be honest here, everytime I am about to read a fantasy/paranormal book, I tend to condition myself to be patient because I know there's a chance that I'll encounter a whiney and irritating heroine. Add a bunch (yes, a bunch) of hot boys that fights over the love interests affection, and there you go. That is where the story revolves. Thank the book gods the book wasn't like that, and most importantly, Breezy is not that kind of character. She will make you interested and curious. She's a great narrator and you will really find your self wrapped up in the story because of her mysterious voice.
Speaking of mystery, that's what I really liked the most in this story. Shallow Graves is full of unresolved and thrilling events that will make you glued in to every page. I was torn between reading it slow because I'm really enjoying the atmosphere of the book and reading it fast so I can find out what happens next. The plot of Shallow Graves is not really something I usually read and I love Kalli Wallace's take on cults, monsters and other mythical creatures. She didn't stick to the cliché but instead, she made her own thing. I wished that I explored more of Breezy's world, that's why I can't help but ask for a follow up story. I feel there's still so much more that needs to be explained.
There's not much of a romance side in this book but you will hardly notice it because Breezy's adventures will take your mind off of it and honestly, I think a romance isn't necessary for this story anyway. I mean sure, I'm already shipping Breezy with someone (because I can't help it) but if ever the author makes a sequel, I'd be fine with whatever road she'll decide.
Shallow Graves will captivate you from the very start. You'll find yourself at the edge of your seat, biting your fingernails and turning the pages quickly because you want to find out answers. The atmosphere of the book is so impressive for it will really hypnotize you to read the book until the end. With Kalli Wallaces enthralling writing, Shallow Graves will surely linger in your mind for a long time!
