Perhaps becoming more assertive and less of a door mat is something she grows into as the series progresses.The characters and the world building are done well and I very much enjoyed the story. But it seems odd that apparently she's also regularly a victim of people not paying up after she's raised the requested shade, so is rather poor. Oh, and she's on friendly terms with Death, one of the grim-reapers.The concept of the story is interesting and I like that while Alex is more powerful than she knew, she's also vulnerable after using her power it affects her sight for a while. She teams up with a police detective to find a ritualistic murderer. Alex is thrust into the limelight when the media gets wind that she attempted to raise the shade on the recently deceased governor and something is way off. And while people appreciate what they can do for them, they're still thought of as con artists or even something to fear. When the fae came out of the closet, so did magic users (or witches). Alex Craft is a Grave Witch, someone who makes their living raising shades memories from a corpse, which is different than a ghost.
