For spoilers’ sake, I won’t say who/what Vincent has to kill, but it’s not a creature you see regularly in supernatural/paranormal novels. I also have to give props to Virdi for uniqueness. I feel like these are characters I can learn to obsessively love over the course of a series. The other characters, even those you only see for a page or two, are also very real and unique without resorting to being cliched or trope-y. Vincent is a very real, very three-dimensional person who leaps off the page with his ego, his sharp wit, his determination, and his resolve to do what needs to be done. What I loved most about this book was the characters. In the meantime, he solves paranormal mysteries under a time limit – for Grave Beginnings, he has thirteen hours to find out who and why and figure out a way to kill the creature responsible. Vincent can’t remember who he is or even what his real name is, but the powers that be promise the information when he’s earned it. Vincent is shuttled between bodies periodically, forced to determine the cause of their supernatural deaths and take care of the creature responsible. Set in New York City, the story follows a soul who calls himself Vincent Graves. I mean, seriously, who wouldn’t be able to keep reading? It opens with a man trying to claw his way out of the shallow grave he’s been buried in – or the body he now inhabits was buried in – and trying to determine his identity.
