Nocturnal Book Reviews

4.5/5
Alex Craft turned out to be pretty fascinating series. Fans of Seanan McGuire certainly will gobble it up in between October Daye books. *wink*

This is pure urban fantasy, and Alex's life is a mess. In book #1 she found out that she is part-fae on top of being a grave witch. Not only that, she seems to be inheriting all the property of the Fae she killed which leads to an unwanted and dangerous attention of Winter Court and the rest of the Fae world.

What we get out of this mess is an irresistible talented witch who is chased by: her pal, Death, a soul collector and a very hot dude; a lanky Winter Queen's assassin, blondie Falin Andrews, with whom she had a passionate but brief affair previously; a mad rich mortal addicted to magic; a Fae client, police detectives and agents of Fae Investigation Bureau...

Yes, she is definitely on Most Wanted list, and sh*t only gets weirder and more complicated the more Alex gets drawn into Fae politics and intrigues.

I've really enjoyed this book! It's not overly dark or oppressive, there is plenty of easy banter and likable characters. Overall, It's an easy and very entertaining read. Recommended to all fans of Seanan McGuire and Fae themed urban fantasy in general.
