Grave Ransom is the fifth book in the Alex Craft series, there may be spoilers in this review though I will try to avoid them. Non-spoilery review? I enjoy this series for the brainless mind-candy that it is. It’s got good female characters, including a strong group of lady friends for our protagonist, and in general it’s just fun Urban Fantasy. I will say, I read this over a week ago and I’ve mostly forgotten it. I had to read the Goodreads blurb to remind […]
And a being of horror came forth to my view
I am now completely caught up on this series and I have pre-ordered book 5. I state again, I don’t think these are amazing books but they’re light, fluffy, and fun to read. This book explores more of the world of the Fae as Alex is caught up in Winter Court political intrigues. She is asked to investigate the death of one of the Winter Queen’s handmaidens. In the process, she discovers the dangerous connection of that death to a new street drug in the […]

In Grave Memory Alex starts investigating an apparent suicide, which she witnesses, when the ghost […]
Fae Don’t Know Death
Grave Dance is the second book in the Alex Craft series and I’m definitely enjoying myself on this one. So far, I’m impressed enough to keep reading. Again, there’s no reinventing of the wheel, but the elements of Urban Fantasy are all well handled and the plot keeps ticking along at a very quick pace. In this book, Alex is asked to investigate a foot, or rather several feet, which has turned up after a flood. And then the plot takes off we follow breathlessly […]
We Slowly Drove – He Knew No Haste
The Vaginal Fantasy group over on Goodreads is doing a casual reread of their older books, and since I have no desire to read this month’s (for May) main and I’ve already read the alt I thought I’d read the re-read book instead. Grave Witch is that book and I liked it. I’m even interested enough to keep reading in the series. I mean, I have quibbles (of course) but overall it was a satisfying urban fantasy/paranormal romance read. Alex Craft is a grave witch, […]
