Actually I enjoyed Graveminder more than her Wicked Lovely series because of the content and dark plotline.<br /><br />The premise of the book is that there is a town called Claysville. Every citizen born in Claysville stays there, baring accidents and murders, grows to 80 healthily, oh and sometimes the dead come back as the Hungry Dead. It's this last weird trait of the town that causes the need for a Graveminder and an Undertaker. It's also what drives the story forward and is the cause of a great many problems. I won't rehash to plotline, but I will tell you that it is indeed convoluted, twisted and I absolutely love it. This is an adult novel, so you can't expect some of the more straightforward Young Adult/Teen plotlines. In Marr's new novel there are worlds within worlds, the Graveminder is half of the dead, half alive, the intricate ways Charles/Mr. D's own world works, then the shocker at the end that his is a new world and there were many others. I loved that I had to think through the book. I loved how the characters reacted. I really hope that Marr chooses to continue this story line, because frankly I really want to see more of the dead and Rebekkah's own struggle between her desire for life and death.Canadahttp://somuch2thank4.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317006746598572000.post-59428404737486645452011-06-21T00:02:56.834-04:002011-06-21T00:02:56.834-04:00Great review hon.

But I like sweet and creepy LOL! Great review again, putting on my wishlist. Thank you :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682890113419208274noreply@blogger.com
