The USA Today bestselling author of Grave Memory and Grave Dance returns with her bewitching heroine Alex Craft in a new novel of twisting urban fantasy where the secrets of the dead can wreak havoc on the living. If you want to hear voices from the dead in Nekros City, you call Alex Craft. She's a grave witch with reasonable rates and extraordinary powers who specializes in revealing the secrets of the dead. But she has her own secrets. She's not human--and her newly discovered heritage is causing havoc for her both in the human realm and in Faerie. Fae can't survive without a tie to Faerie, and now that Alex's true nature has awoken, she's no exception. She must align herself to a court and soon. To retain as much freedom as possible, she makes a deal to track the source of a new glamour-infused street drug which causes hallucinations that kill--and not just the user. Her investigation entangles Alex in a conflict brewing in Faerie, and she must find answers before she's dragged so deep that she loses not only her freedom, but her life.
I throughly enjoyed this installment of the Alex Craft series. Alex is a combination of Stephanie Plum and Harry the Jim Butcher creation, trouble seems to follow her everywhere she goes but this time if she doesn't figure out who is making and distributing the new drug Glitter. Alex also needs to choose a court before she fades away.
I love the characters Ms Price has created and grow to love them with each new novel. The land of farie looms more real and the Winter Queen more manipulative, and what about Death and the Queen's Knight, who and what to trust?
I would recommend highly this book along with the series.
