Grave Memory by Kalayna Price

Grave Memory (Alex Craft, #3)

by Kalayna Price

When the dead need to talk, Alex Craft is always ready to listen…

As a Grave Witch, Alex solves murders by raising the dead—an ability that comes at a cost, and after her last few cases, that cost is compounding. But her magic isn’t the only thing causing havoc in her life. While she’s always been on friendly terms with Death himself, things have recently become a whole lot more close and personal. Then there’s her sometime partner, agent Falin Andrews, who is under the glamour of the Winter Queen. To top everything off, her best friend has been forever changed by her time spent captive in Faerie.
But the personal takes a backseat to the professional when a string of suicides occur in Nekros City and Alex is hired to investigate. The shades have no memory of the days leading up to their brutal endings, so despite the very public apparent suicides, this is murder. But what kind of magic can overcome the human will to survive? And why do the shades lack the memory of their deaths? Searching for the answer might mean Alex won’t have a life to remember at all…

I'm not sure what I think about this series. I enjoy it, then it pisses me off. I've read MANY books with love triangles (that seems to be the thing to do these days) and I can deal with most of them. I'm not sure why this particular love triangle drives me as crazy as it does. I guess it is because there is no triangle in my mind. I'm not a Falin fan of any kind. I want Alex and Death to find a way to be together. That being said, this ending really upset me (you'll understand when you read it).

Now the story is great. You get to see more into Death's life (is that what you call his existence?). We see more into the other soul collectors, though not as much as Death's. We also get to see more of how Falin works (whether it is his choice or not). I just don't like him.
