About this listen
Two things are impossible to walk away from: death and vintage clothing. Trust me. I've tried.
Moving across the country and opening a costume shop was supposed to be my chance for a normal life. What I wanted was a fresh start, one where the biggest danger would be a carelessly wielded sewing needle.
What I got was the ghost of a murdered reporter demanding justice, a power I can’t control, and a new goat-shifter BFF hell-bent on trouble.
Now, my hunt for the killer threatens to expose a supernatural community determined to safeguard its secrecy at any cost. My only chance to survive is to embrace the legacy I’ve spent my life running from.
Fastening the Grave is the first book in the Kali James series, featuring a reluctant necromancer who finds herself in a world of werewolves, vampires, and ghosts. If you like your urban fantasy with quirky characters, a side of supernatural mystery, and a dose of slow-burn romance, this is the book for you.

Moving across the country and opening a costume shop was supposed to be my chance for a normal life. What I wanted was a fresh start, one where the biggest danger would be a carelessly wielded sewing needle. What I ended up with was a trail of dead bodies, a power I didn't ask for, and a host of enemies with ties to my twin sister's decade-old murder. Throw in a stony-eyed enforcer I can't seem to shake and a new goat shifter BFF, and I'm knee deep in trouble.

I’m Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill—but let’s face it, it’s not normal. You’d think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven’t been able to track down my parent’s killers. When I’m hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar—yet my gut tells me there’s more to this case than a party girl gone wild.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

Fresh off a breakup and an eviction, I started my day like any other: a book in one hand, a coffee in the other, and faking that can-do attitude inspirational memes are made of. I was ready to take on the world—and I did. Unfortunately, it was the Underworld. One freak accident later, I’m standing face to face with the sexy-as-sin and dangerously powerful Prince of the Underworld. He has a few burning questions for me—like how a mere human unlocked the door to the Underworld’s prison and released its prisoners.

I’m a shifter with a checkered past and sticky fingers. I like my new life. I’ve got good friends, cheap barbecue, and weekly karaoke. Sure, I live in an apartment with more deadbolts than functioning windows. And yeah, I earn just enough tips as a mediocre bartender to buy name brand ramen noodles. But I can be as flamboyant and fun as I want—as long as I keep my hands clean. When a mysterious stranger strolls into my bar with tales of a magical dagger so rare it’s guaranteed to start a bidding war, that itch is back. One last heist… for old times’ sake.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, I expected my relatives to be like me - outcast sorcerers who don't practice magic. I was right about the sorcery, but wrong about everything else. Rule two: Don't listen to the demon. My uncle chose a far deadlier power. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them into service contracts, and sells them to the highest bidder. And I'm supposed to act like I don't know how illegal and dangerous it is. Rule three: Don't talk to the demon. All I had to do was keep my nose out of it.

Don't waste money
I think the story line would have been good if you can get past the droning of the extremely boring voice of the narration

Lovely writing
I really loved the quality of the writing in this. There were a few instances where I thought the author could easily pull off a more literary-style mystery if it suited her fancy.
The story itself (stakes and pacing) was somewhere between a standard paranormal mystery and a cozy mystery. I happen to like both genres quite a bit, but I’d gone into this expecting a UF-focused story and got something with a much slower pace. The end of the summary says, “If you like your urban fantasy with quirky characters [and] a side of supernatural mystery …” and I think the book is actually the reverse of that. It’s a paranormal mystery with a side of urban fantasy. There’s a lot of amateur sleuthing; she spends a lot of time chatting up suspects, sneaking into places she shouldn’t, and ferreting out clues. She’s basically a busybody (I say this with affection for the cozy genre) heroine who is nosing her way into a police investigation. If you go into this expecting an action-packed urban fantasy romp populated by supernatural creatures, you really won’t find much of that until 2/3s into the book. The goat shifter BFF mentioned in the summary? The main character doesn’t even know her friend is a shifter until the book is nearly over.
I’m not sure if this is all an issue of the book not starting in the right place, or if the book would have been fine as-is had it been packaged as a paranormal mystery instead of an urban fantasy.
Because I liked the writing style so much, I’ll keep an eye out for book 2. I’m hoping that since Kali is aware of the supernatural community by the end of the book, that the sequel will have more of the urban fantasy vibe I was hoping for with this one.

Pretty good
Story was good and I think the narrator did good too. It kept my interest enough that I didn’t stop the book all the way through
