She is paid to do so which is exactly like Anita Blake. She can raise 'Shades' from the dead that cannot lie. And I can see why! The lead character can interact with ghost and has a FAE friend that teaches her the dies and don't of FAE culture, both similar to the Mercy Thompson series. So this Alex Craft series was recommended by the app because of my reading history.

I give it 2 stars because if Kim Harrison hadn't been out for probably more than a dozen years, this story would have been enjoyable enough for 3 stars. They even use the same abbreviation for a gov't agency: FIB. They both start off broke and slightly whiny. Rachel and Alex are both witches that turn out to be half breeds although it was a secret. Besides the slow start to this book the first thing that struck me was how a like this character was to Rachel Morgan with a touch of Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake with the whole power over the dead standing over a grave thing.

I have been listening to Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series. But this character definitely lacks originaIity to the point I think plagarism. I am always on the lookout for a good paranormal/ urban fantasy series to start and of course there is a general overlap in theme with so many books out there. She had absolutely no passion in her voice, as others said like a female William Shatner. I agree with everyone else who said the narrator was horrible. Despite all that, Alex is going to need his help to navigate the tangled webs of real-world and paranormal politics, and to track down a killer wielding a magic so malevolent, it may cost Alex not just her life, but also her soul. Andrews seems to be hiding something, although it's certainly not his dislike of Alex. You know you're having a bad day when Death is saving your life.To solve this case, Alex will have to team up with tough homicide detective Falin Andrews.

Then, someone makes a serious attempt on her life, thwarted only by Death's intervention. Alex is investigating a high-profile murder when she's attacked by the ghost she is raising - which should be impossible. But even though she's on good terms with Death himself, nothing has prepared her for her latest case. As a private investigator and consultant for the police, Alex has seen a lot of dark magic. Perfect for fans of Charlaine Harris and Cassandra Clare.Just because Grave Witch Alex Craft can speak to the dead, doesn't mean she has to like what they have to say. The first book in the Alex Craft urban fantasy series about a Grave Witch who can talk to the dead.
