Alluring Death

So, it appears in my decision to cut the chapters in half, I had us end this week on a cliffie chapter. Rebekkah has plenty of questions that could potentially be answered now!

First and foremost, I have to say, I love Melissa Marr as an author. She does a beautiful job of weaving together worlds and bringing her characters to life.  Originally I picked this book up when it came out in hardcover and got most of the way through it before I set it down somewhere and caused it to become buried under a mini mountain of things.  I've been wanting to finish it and this seemed like the best time to do it.

I really like the concept she has in this world. The relationships between Undertakers and Graveminders seem to be intimate, something that Maylene and William only allowed themselves to go so far. Byron and Rebekkah come off as going to have a much closer relationship than their predecessors.

I've still got questions about Ella. Right now, I'm assuming she took her life (and bare in mind, it's been awhile since I read the book so I don't quite remember either). I want to know what about the world of Mr. D lured her into taking her own life, if that's what she did. Did she find the responsibility to be too much and just couldn't take the idea of being Graveminder? What will Rebekkah do when/if she discovers why Ella did what she did?

Then there is Daisha. How many more people will she eat before Byron and Rebekkah get her to where she belongs?
