A fun and totally engrossing story with a strong interesting protagonist. Alex, she's a grave witch and can pull shades, memories out of dead bodies. She is paid little and respected less. She has real problems, bills, dog care, rent, lack of food...and yet we don't hear her whining. Her dog PC, adorable.Life takes a hard twist when bodies start showing up with marks she is only seeing. She takes on a tint of something wrong when a shade goes wild. She must work with Death and the arrogant detective to try to find a solution. But there is magic and it's not what she is used to.Time is ticking. There are two men in her life Falin, a sultry sexy detective with an attitude. Then there is Death... I am team Death, he's mysterious and sultry, sexy and loves Alex. I wanted more of this character. Perhaps there is more in the second book ? This trio is complicated.My favorite part of the book, a kiss before disappearing. Simple and satisfying.
