ⓘ About Melissa Marr
Originally released in 2011 on the 9th of May, this was the first of the ‘Graveminder’ series, with the second being an anthology collecting stories from different writers including Marr. Setting up the world though, this manages to convey the characters, environment and new rules for what’s to come with this series. Taking a different tone, it goes for an alternative direction to what came before from author Melissa Marr, as she goes about creating something else entirely. Starting with Rebekah Barrow, she finds that her grandmother has a strange ritual whenever she attends a funeral whereby she sips from a flask, followed by a small mantra. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Wicked Lovely Books series, Melissa Marr has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres.
