Waiting on Wednesday: Grave Witch by Kalayna Price

I read an interview with author Kalayna Price over at All Things Urban Fantasy this week and now I can’t wait to read the first book in her new Alex Craft series Grave Witch. The series follows a necromancer who uses her grave magic to raise shades. In addition to the plot surrounding P.I. who can get answers from the dead, her love interest is none other than Death. A necromancer falling in love with Death? Love it.

Here’s the official skinny:

As a private investigator and consultant for the police, Alex Craft has seen a lot of dark magic. But even though she’s on good terms with Death himself—who happens to look fantastic in a pair of jeans—nothing has prepared her for her latest case. Alex is investigating a high profile murder when she’s attacked by the ‘shade’ she’s raising, which should be impossible. To top off her day, someone makes a serious attempt on her life, but Death saves her. Guess he likes having her around…

To solve this case Alex will have to team up with tough homicide detective Falin Andrews. Falin seems to be hiding something—though it’s certainly not his dislike of Alex—but Alex knows she needs his help to navigate the tangled webs of mortal and paranormal politics, and to track down a killer wielding a magic so malevolent, it may cost Alex her life…and her soul.

Sound good? You can pre-order Grave Witch, which comes out Oct. 12, from The Book Depository or Amazon.
