This book was about as interesting as watching dust collect on a table. It is my least favorite Mellissa Marr book. I can't even begin to explain just how boring it was. I have enjoyed other books that she has put out...so I was really…

Liked it all: setting (small town of Claysville, as in, if you're born there, you can't leave; and, oh, by the way, ancestors from the way back signed a contract with some being), characters (hero: Byron, Heroine: Rebecca, Villain:…

Literally the most disappointing book of any that I read in 2011. The book had such promise that I actually became ANGRY at what it turned out to be. DO NOT believe people who tell you it's a dreamy, gothic thriller. The author and…

This was an excellent summer read- truly gothic, being chilling without gore or too much horror. I love the mythology and world that Melissa Marr set up, which she did gracefully. Her use of language and her imaginative concepts were…

Spirits do not stay put in this chilling and utterly absorbing paranormal story. It begins with the odd inheritance of Rebekkah Barrow who has come back to her hometown to assume the role her grandmother has vacated with her death. This…

I really loved this book. I have read Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely series and it was great. Graveminder was even more impressive. The world this book is set in is bbeautifully crafted and devine!

the plot idea in this book is certainly interesting - what if there was a way to keep the dead from walking, what would that world look like? It takes a bit to find the rhythm of this book, the plot had more potential than what was…

Good idea, poorly executed. It takes about 120 pages for the plot to actually develop and for the author to figure what it is that she wants to write about. When she does it is full of repetitions and awfully slow paced. Characters are…

Graveminder may go down as the most frustrating books I have ever read. It was such an interesting idea that I kept reading and waiting for a good twist and explanations to the plot holes. They never came. Instead, the characters ruminated…

A good enough read, but a little lacking overall. Found parts of the text and conversation repetitive. The ending was a little bit of a letdown - I was looking forward to more information, more answers and maybe a peek into her…

Once she went with the vampires and zombies I quickly put it down. What could have been an awesome, creepy ghost story was ruined with the unfortunate teenage-vampire fascination. Hate that!

"Rebekka is no stranger to funerals and the dead. After all, her grandmother went to every funeral in her hometown, stood at every grave, and told the dead to stay where she put them. Rebekka has spent much of her life running--from…

This book was good but i would have liked it to peak a little more, i kept waiting for something bigger to happen.

A little slow at the beginning, but definitely worth the beginning frustration.
