Grave Witch

Alex Craft is a grave witch who can communicate with the dead, though she has learned that the dead are not always pleasant company. She works as a private investigator and also consults for the police, so she has encountered plenty of dark magic. Even so, she has an unusual working relationship with Death himself, who is far easier on the eyes than most people would expect.

Her newest assignment is a high-profile murder investigation. The case takes a frightening turn when a shade she is raising attacks her, which should not be possible. Later that day, someone tries to kill her, and only Death's intervention keeps her alive.

To crack the case, Alex must work with Falin Andrews, a tough homicide detective who is clearly hiding something and who has no fondness for her. She needs his help to navigate the tense politics between mortals and the paranormal world, and to hunt a killer whose magic is so vicious that the pursuit could cost her life and her soul.
