Review: Grave Witch by Kalayna Price

Grave Witch

Alex Craft Book #1

ISBN: #9780451463807

Genre: Urban Fantasy
Grave witch Alex Craft can speak to the dead, but that doesn’t mean she likes what they have to say . . .
As a private investigator and consultant for the police, Alex Craft has seen a lot of dark magic. But even though she’s on good terms with Death himself—who happens to look fantastic in a pair of jeans—nothing has prepared her for her latest case. Alex is investigating a high profile murder when she’s attacked by the ‘shade’ she’s raising, which should be impossible. To top off her day, someone makes a serious attempt on her life, but Death saves her. Guess he likes having her around . . .
To solve this case Alex will have to team up with tough homicide detective Falin Andrews. Falin seems to be hiding something—though it’s certainly not his dislike of Alex—but Alex knows she needs his help to navigate the tangled webs of mortal and paranormal politics, and to track down a killer wielding a magic so malevolent, it may cost Alex her life . . . and her soul.

I found this to be a great start to a new series. I really enjoyed reading the start of Alex's story. There is tons of action that kept me enthralled. I cant wait to read more about the love triangle and how it turns out. Is it to early to say I think im team Death??  This is a must read you wont be able to put it down!!


I gave it 5/5 stars

Early Review: Enchanted No More by Robin D Owens

Enchanted No More

Author: Robin D. Owens

Release Date: January 1, 2011

Publisher: Luna

ISBN: #9780373803231

Genre: Fantasy Romance
Review Copy Source: Netgalley.com

Guilt-ridden by a mistake that cost her family their lives, half-Lightfolk, half-human Jenni Weavers turns her back on her magical heritage...until her remaining brother who hates her is trapped and she's the only one who can step into an alternate dimension to save him.

Jenni is racked with grief and guilt over the death of all her family besides her brother who disowns her after the tragedy. She moved to the human world 15 years ago and has stopped using her magic until her brother lands himself in trouble and her ex lover shows up asking her for help.


I felt that the author did a good job on conveying Jenni's emotions and feelings. She is so bitter about helping in the beginning and slowly has to let go of all her anger and grief. I enjoyed all the Magical stuff, the way it is explained and the uses of it all. I enjoyed the storyline and the way it progressed but I also found it a bit slow at times. There is some nice romance, and bonding threw out the book and I didn't feel it went over board on descriptions of Aric(the ex boyfriend) as I read another review state. I found it to be a solid book with a good ending.


I give it 3/5 stars

Review: Ghost Town by Rachel Caine

Ghost Town

Release Date: October 26, 2010

Publisher: NAL

The Morganville Vampires Book #9

ISBN: #9780451231611

Genre: Paranormal YA
The fragile peace between humans and vampires in Morganville is in trouble, and when Claire takes drastic action, she's put under serious pressure to re-establish the barriers that keep the town residents inside, and wipe the memories of those who leave. But working with her half-crazy vampire boss Myrnin means that things don't always turn out as planned ... and as the people of Morganville begin acting strangely, Claire and her friends must solve the mystery and try to put things right. But one by one, her allies are turning on her ... even the ones she trusts most.

Ahh what to say what to say.. We all know Morganville by now and it is still dangerous, crazy and out of control with vampires. Poor Claire just cant catch a break. In this book Claire has to watch everyone lose their memories and has to deal with Myrnin's craziness and memory loss on top of all that, and we all know that Myrnin is crazy enough without reverting back to his old self. Although I enjoyed this book I didn't feel it was as good as previous ones in the series. However I am still looking forward to what Rachel Caine comes up next for Claire and her friends.


I give it a 3.5/5 stars

Urban Arcana Book #2

ISBN: #9781426890628

Genre: Paranormal Romance
Review Copy Source: NetGalley.com

She’d left magic behind:

Once upon a time, Elise Sutton had been a powerful witch and paranormal enforcer.

Once she’d been madly in love with Fae lord Aidan Greene. But when Aidan had considered his duties more important than their relationship, the love affair ended badly. Shortly after, while on the hunt for a rogue demon, Elise was brutalized and almost killed. Months later she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. To protect her child – and her heart – Elise decided to live a nonmagical life. Until she meets Aidan again, and he assumes Dina is his daughter. When Dina is kidnapped by a racial purity movement, Elise turns to Aidan for help. The icy façade she had built around herself shatters at Aidan’s touch. Together they have to hunt through the human and faery worlds to find Dina and to discover whether or not they have any kind of chance at a happily ever after.

I very much enjoyed reading about Elise and Aidan. In the first about 30 pages I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I liked book 1 Motor City Fae but I was pleasantly surprised and happy to find out I was wrong. There was plenty of Action, Twists, Turns and Sexy scenes to keep me entertained and engaged. I also love it when series that have books about different characters continue including the previous book characters in the background so you can continue to follow there story and this did with Meagan and Ric.

I give it 4/5 Stars
