Review: Ever Dead

Ever Dead by Alexia Purdy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding Out All About Faeries



This series must be read in order. The first book is The Withering Palace. The second book is Evangeline. The third book is Ever Shade. The fourth book is Ever Fire. The fifth book is Ever Winter. The sixth book is The Cursed. The seventh book is Ever Wrath. The eighth book is History Of Fire. This is the ninth book. I can't wait to read Without Armor!



Hank has had a rough life. He lost his identical twin brother Howie to a heart defect when they were only two. Then he was badly injured in a car wreck that took both his parents' lives before he was even a teen. At least his grandparents took him in and raised him well. He could have been way more unlucky. Now all he has left is his grandmother and his dog Lucifer (Luci for short). Becoming a cop was a good way to put the martial arts his grandfather taught him to good use... And he is the onky homicide detective with a dog (Luci) for a partner! Life seemed to be turning out pretty well for him... Too bad he has an impossible case with victims turned to ash that only contain a modicum of human DNA... What are these new people exactly? Who is killing them? And why? How are they turned completely to ash? Where did they come from?


Benton is starting to get sick of all the Unseelie and Slugah he has to kill... Enough is enough! It seems to be an exercise in futility because for every one he kills three more seem to appear! They also seem to be getting stronger... And he has no idea why! Add to that some human cop that has been dogging his every move and you have a recipe for disaster! Where are all the extra Unseelie coming from? How are they getting so much stronger? What is the meaning of the strange Talismans he keeps finding in their ashes? Why is the cop so obsessed with him? Will he ever be done killing Unseelie and free to live his own human life? Or has that ship sailed without him even realizing it?


***This series is suitable for mature young adult through adult readers who enjoy dark modern fantasy action adventures filled with mystery, intrigue, thrills, horror and a bit of romance of the forbidden variety :)
