Summary from Penguin
"Memories hid in every cell of the body. Memories that my grave
magic could unlock and give shape as a shade. Of course, that depended
on having enough of the body at my disposal for my magic to fill in the
gaps."
After a month spent recovering from a vicious
fight with a sorcerer, Grave Witch Alex Craft is ready to get back to
solving murders by raising the dead. With her love life in turmoil
thanks to the disappearance of FBI agent Falin Andrews and Death's
shocking 'L word' confession, Alex is eager for the distractions of
work. But her new case turns out to be more of a challenge than she was
expecting.
The police hire Alex to consult on a
particularly strange investigation in a nature preserve. The strange
part? There are no bodies, just leftover pieces. With a probable serial
killer on the loose and no way to raise a shade without a body, Alex
will have to rely solely on her ability to sense the grave to lead her
to the dead. But with the strain of overusing her magic, this might be
the last case Alex ever solves . . .
Nayuleska's thoughts
Alex's
life continues to be chock full of chaos, officials chasing after her,
unexpected and unwanted magic occurring in her presence, & total
confusion about the males in her life. Her sarcasm and view on life made
me smile a lot, even when death (the act, not the person) loomed on the
horizon. Im looking forward to what the next book will hold, seeing as
this is a 10/10 read.
