Grave Dance (Alex Craft #2) Review

Grave Dance by Kalayna Price
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was okay. I was hoping it would be better than the first book which I thought was good, but not great, yet it wasn't. There were more things in this book that I disliked more than the things that I liked.

It seemed that Alex continued to get into trouble around every corner. Every time something happened that had nothing to do with her, she just happened to be at the scene of the crime. Sometimes when she hadn't been at the scene, she ended up going even though it wasn't a good idea. She knew it wasn't a good idea and she was advised not to go. That's just not smart. Maybe if she wore a disguise or didn't go to the center of the action it wouldn't be so bad but she always did. It kind of seemed like she was just asking for attention.

The Romance in this series is really starting to bug me. In the first book, I thought that maybe there was an equal chance for both guys with Alex. At this point, there's no hope in either. Yes Falin saved her a few times but he is pretty much owned by the queen and she's not going to let him go. I guess I can't fault him for things that are out of his control but it's as if he's leading Alex on. He knows they don't have a future, at least in the near future, so why even bother. It's only going to lead to broken hearts for both of them. And then there's Death. We don't know his real name or hardly anything else about him. Actually we pretty much know nothing about him after two books. Yes he saved her life once and aided her on some other occasions, but he's not consistently there. If he stayed that whole night, he could have snuggled up with her and maybe pushed Falin out of the bed. I mean you said you love her. What are you going to do about it? If you can't do anything about it then let her go. He's been there since she was a kid but he's not really there. They can't have anything normal. In my opinion, Alex needs to go out and find a new love interest who she can actually have a relationship with. I really like Death but not so much Falin. Falin was too sure of himself all the time. Neither of them deserve to fight over her.

I give it 3 out of 5 stars because the romance didn't cute it for me and the rest of the plot didn't overshadow that.
