Book Review: "Grave Ransom" by Kaylana Price






In the thrilling new novel from USA Today bestselling author Kalayna Price, Alex Craft comes face-to-face with the walking dead….
 
Grave witch Alex Craft is no stranger to the dead talking. She raises shades, works with ghosts, and is dating Death himself. But the dead walking? That’s not supposed to happen. And yet reanimated corpses are committing crimes across Nekros City. 
 
Alex’s investigation leads her deep into a web of sinister magic. When Briar Darque of the Magical Crimes Investigation Bureau gets involved, Alex finds herself with an unexpected ally of sorts. But as the dead continue to rise and wreak havoc on the living, can she get to the soul of the matter in time? - from Netgalley.com

I received this ARC for free in exchange for a review through Netgalley.com.

This is the fifth book in the Alex Craft series, and it has been a good series for my type of stories. Juggling varied relationships, as well as work, has Alex often over-taxed, and having to deal with being able to raise the shades of dead people, the elven problems, and through in an agent of the Magic Crimes Bureau ... just puts enough interest in the story.

Price has done a good job of developing characters, and keeping a good story line going through all five books, without having to make something seemingly far-fetched (even though this is fiction).
