Alex Craft's work involves giving voice to the deceased, which doesn't guarantee she gets paid as not everybody is happy paying after learning what the dead have to say. She is a grave witch that can rise shades from the dead and also has connections in the police and helps with some cases. Alex's sister Casey lives with her father and even though they are a rich family, both ignore Alex until a high-profile case brings Casey to Alex. Alex also meets police detective Falin Andrews who is the new detective in charge of said case, and sometimes has Death for company - a very good looking soul collector that she met when she was 5. The mystery deepens as Alex can see more than everyone else connected with the case and her soul gets seriously hurt. Will she live enough to save herself and solve the mysterious deaths?

I really enjoyed this book. Not only most of it was pretty original to me, Alex is extremely likeable and she knows how to choose her friends. Most characters are very interesting and the story develops pretty fast, which makes it quite difficult to stop reading. I hope to read the second book soon as all the surprising developments in the end of this book gave me a serious case of acute curiosity.
