I wasn't expecting much when I picked up this book. I had read several negative reviews. The odd thing was that the negative reviews didn't dissuade me in the least.
Grave Witch is derivative: True enough, but that can be said about the Dresden files, The Garret files, the Nocturne city books, and pretty much the entirety of Urban Fantasy / Supernatural Romance.
Every aspect of this book was done by other authors better: True. It did remind me of everything I loved from other Urban Fantasy authors, but all in one book rather than a little glimmer here and a little glimmer there.
Poorly written sex scenes: true, but I happen to like poorly written sex scenes. At least it didn't take over the book like certain other authors are known for (Goodkind, Hamilton). That being said I thought the romance was rather forced, but then I'm a guy. What do I know?
