A Review of Grave Destiny by Kalayna Price #PNR #UrbanFantasy #Fantasy

Grave Destiny 
Alex Craft  
Book 6 
Kalayna Price

I don't care how long I have to wait between books, I will always swoop up the newest book in this series and read it right away whether I'm in the middle of another book or not. An Alex Craft novel will get my attention.

Grave Destiny has Alex investigating a new case- a murder that occurred in Faerie. A member of the Shadow Court has been found dead in the Winter Court next to a Winter court resident, it's all very odd.

So Alex is hired first by  Prince Dugan and then by the Winter Queen to get to the bottom of these horrible murders.

Many new characters are introduced. We don't see much of the normal cast. But it was a quick paced, engrossing read nonetheless. 

Price is a master story teller with characters I have fallen in love with. Alex is complicated, quirky, and mysterious. The men in her life are even more complicated and mysterious. Unfortunately they are also both forbidden.

Then there's Prince Dugan, the prince of the shadow realm who I almost found myself rooting for. He really needed more consideration. But I guess two forbidden men in Alex's heart are enough, why fall for one she could actually have? I think there are many unresolved issues about the shadow realm and I would love to see this explored more in future books. I would also love to see Alex use her grave magic more. I loved the witchy side of Alex's world in the early books. Fae politics drive me batty but they do make for complicated plots and story lines.

*****Spoiler Alert*****

Fans of Death, sadly you won't see him much in this book. Grave Destiny takes place 99% in Faerie with the love focus being on Falin. 

Rumor has it this may be the last book. I certainly hope not.  Alex still has too much to learn about her powers and her love life can't just fall into place by default because situations change and make one suitor more accessible than the other.

I received this ARC copy of Grave Destiny from Berkley Publishing Group - Ace.  Grave Destiny is set for publication April 2, 2019.

Book Description:

The thrilling sixth book in the USA Today bestselling Alex Craft series.     

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.
