Grave Decisions

Magnificent Graves #2

by Sarah Walker

Decisions determine who you are—small to great. They define you and determine your fate. But every decision Magnificent Alabaster Graves has made seems to be the wrong one and brings her nothing but regret. Now she has decided to do the right thing for once, even though it’s the stupidest decision she’s ever made. Paying the queen’s price could mean her life, or is there another way? Can God help her after all she’s managed to destroy? Does she have the right to hope for light when all she can see is darkness around her? And how will her decisions determine the fate of others? On Ishtara the Moon Queen’s game board, life and death are won through decisions. However, Maggie’s last decision caused her tons of trouble. The game is reaching deeper levels and Maggie knows Ishtara is playing for keeps. Maggie’s family and friends are in danger as her world is forever changed by Ishtara’s horrifying reign. Being stuck in stupid isn’t an option and Maggie is determined not to screw things up this time. If only there was time to go over her choices again...

Reviews

[Sarah Walker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally! An awesome writer who can weave intricate plots without boring over written philosophy or slow style. Grave Decision crackles with action, the characters trade angst and dissension (two dreaded things for YA), for humor and fresh real-teen responses. Plots are woven together with grace and mounting tension. I love what she does with the Christian aspect and I love the grit of reality she tromps around in. Excellent author. Definitely looking forward to Monsters By the Sea.
