I was very excited to get a new book in the Alex Craft series. I’ve really enjoyed this series from the beginning. It was a little hard to get into this one. It has been a while since I read the previous book, so I didn’t really remember what happened in that story. But it didn’t take that long and I was deep into this book and I had all the information that I needed to enjoy this story.

This one starts off with Alex out to a lunch with a friend when she feels the dead near back. It is strange when the “dead” that she is feeling is walking by her. She gets up to follow him. Come to find out, it is a dead body with a soul in it. She accidently pulls the soul out of the body, only to find out that the soul didn’t belong with that body, but someone else entirely. Turns out that this isn’t the only time it happens.

This was a fun story with a lot of great investigative work as Alex and Briar try to solve this case. I really enjoyed the investigative part of this story. The romance part of the story really annoyed me. The complications between Alex and Death are starting to make me not enjoy their relationship. Death is just making things really hard on Alex. I’m just over it.

I know I didn’t go into the investigative part of the story very much, but I really feel like you need to experience it for yourself. I don’t want to give anything away. I really love Alex. I love this world that Kalayna Price has created. The secondary characters in this series are great. I love them all. I’m not a huge fan of the romance, but that’s okay. I do have a feeling that something will change with the next book (I’m not give more details than that). I’m excited for the next book. I hope I don’t have to wait too long. 🙂

Grave Ransom Narration

4 Hearts

I continue to love Emily Durante’s narration of this series. I think the voices she chose for each character fits them well. There isn’t a voice that stands out. Not a lot of accents or odd voices, but she just does a great job with the narration. A solid performance with great pacing and tones.
