Grave Destiny by Kalayna Price

Grave Destiny (Alex Craft, #6)

by Kalayna Price

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.

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.

I really love this world that Kalayna Price has created. It features mostly witches and fae. Alex Craft is our main character and is a grave witch. She can raise shades of the dead to help police find out what happened to them and other things.

In this one, Alex has to help the Shadow Prince and the Winter Queen solve a murder of a member of Shadow Court that takes place in the Winter Court. Then there is Death’s boss, The Mender, has his own agenda for Alex. Oh, I can’t forget that his father is up to something too. The poor girl is pulled into so many directions in this book (actually, that might be everybook). A lot happens in this book and it ends with a lot of changes in store for the next book.

This is a fun urban fantasy. If you like investigations and fae politics, then this is the series for you. The characters are a lot of fun and the worldbuilding is complex. I’m not sure how long the wait will be, but I’m eager for the next book.

Narration
Emily Durante has always read this series and I’ve really enjoyed narration. She has no issues with the ever growing cast filled with many men, women and creatures of all kinds. I always look forward to listening to this series and Durante is part of that reason. I can’t even imagine just reading this series without Durante.

**I'd like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
