Grave Witch by Kalayna Price
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Blurb:
As a grave witch, Alex Craft can speak to the dead - she's even on good terms with Death himself. As a consultant for the police, she's seen a lot of dark magic, but nothing has prepared her for her latest case. When she's raising a 'shade' involved in a high profile murder, it attacks her - and then someone makes an attempt on her life. Someone really doesn't want her to know what the dead have to say, and she'll have to work with mysterious homicide detective Falin Andrews to figure out why.
Me:
I enjoyed this one a lot. The world it's set in is vivid, and colourful. The characters are funny and believable and the romance didn't overwhelm the main storyline.It was an excellent start to a series and I look forward to getting Book 2, Grave Dance when it comes out in July.

Gardening Again...
So the madness begins again. I have finally found a patch down the back of the estate that someone has already plowed, and will be able to share with them. I can't put it in the back of my own garden because of the new pup, Ted, who has a tendency to chew everything not actually nailed down and even that isn't necessarily a deterrent, because he just views the nails as a challenge. So the peas and scallions and a few other bits are in the little greenhouse and stones will be picked tomorrow. Updates to follow.
Blog done.

Surface Detail
Surface Detail by Iain M. Banks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
One of The best Culture novels I have read, I took my time reading it because there usually is quite quite a gap between each of them. This one is based around the journey of Lededje Y'breq an Intagliated Person, marked with a family debt, a fantastic Tatooto extending to her DNA, as a war from the Unreal levels of Virtual Hell extends into Real. I really enjoyed this Book with the Huge Guns , and quirky spaceships, and great story
