Grave Dance by Kalayna Price
5.0
Loved this! And that's saying a ton considering that, lately, for me to enjoy something, it has to have a heavy romance plotline.
The worldbuilding in this book is phenomenal. I don't remember being so impressed on the first book. I had to go back and look up my review for it, but uh, apparently, I didn't review it on Goodreads? I'm pretty sure I was reviewing books here back in 2010. I have no clue how I skipped reviewing this. My memory is that I liked it a lot.
Anyway, as I said, I loved this. I love Alex Craft. She has the coolest magical powers, and the handicap of going blind afterwards is really cool.
But lets talk about the guys. Death and Falin. I DO remember my impressions of Falin. I remember not liking him, and being a little tiny bit confused as to whether he was going to be a love interest at the beginning of book one. I don't *think* I ever grew to like him, but when I started reading GRAVE DANCE, I couldn't wait for him to get into the book. Once he did, I think those same I-don't-like-this-guy feelings came back. Am I the only one who isn't into him? Or, I should say, I *wasn't* into him. Now that I know more about his story and background, I'm kind of loving his character.
The PROBLEM, though, is that Falin is competing with Death. Death in blue jeans. Death who pretty much is forbidden to be with Alex, but who flirts and steals kisses and who's so cryptic. I mean, Falin really doesn't stand a chance against that, right?
Oh, and I almost forgot. I thought I called who the bad guy was from the beginning. The author did a great job of planting those seeds, and then even had Alex FINALLY jump to the same conclusion I did, so when it turned out that wasn't the case. I was happy. If my suspect had been the bad guy, it would have been way too predictable.
So, yeah, I thoroughly recommend this series! Very unique and entertaining. And I want more Death!
