Grave Destiny

Alex Craft Series, Book 6

By: Kalayna Price

Narrated by: Emily Durante

Grave witch Alex Craft can speak to the dead, and that makes her a dangerous enemy for anyone with something to hide....

Alex is still trying to come to terms with her changing powers and her growing ties to Faerie when a case she'd rather avoid falls right into her lap. A fae prince desperately needs Alex to investigate a politically sensitive murder. She reluctantly agrees to the case, taking FIB agent Falin Andrews along as her backup.

But as Alex begins to delve into the mystery, she realizes that the intricate web of alliances and intrigue in the Faerie courts is strained to its limits. War is about to break out, one that threatens to spill over into the mortal realm. This murder is tied right to the center of centuries-old arcane unrest, and if Alex isn't careful she may follow the twisting path ahead of her right into her grave end.

Contains mature themes.

Winter

Another great Alex Craft book. This is my favorite book in this series. I couldn’t stop listening. I’m already dying for the next book.

Plodding plot or robotic narration?

Though I enjoyed Falin's greater presence in this book, as well as delving a bit deeper into the world of plane-weaving, the story itself didn't thread a tighter weave as her previous stories did --even with the major twist at the end. It just kind of trudged along the same steady, plodding pace until the action at the end. It was a bit like going to a baseball game where neither team scores but has a fireworks show at the end.

I still enjoyed the book --I yearn for and rejoice every novel Kaylana Price writes, but this one made me wonder if she's not really enjoying her job so much anymore. But then, we *are* on book 6, so maybe it's just hard to think up new twists and turns.
If you're a Price fan --and if you're reading book 6, then you probably are-- then this read is a must. You just may feel this one's a little threadbare.
One more note: Can we please change the narrator for the next book? I think her robotic performance heavily influenced my feelings described above. I think I may have enjoyed it much more if I had been able to read the book myself. I think I'll try to remember that for book 7....
