USA Today bestseller and rising queen of atmospheric horror Darcy Coates returns with a ghost story that will haunt you long after the final page. Keira, hired as Blighty Graveyard's new groundskeeper and unofficial spirit guide, lives surrounded by the dead. They watch her through the fog. They wordlessly cry out. They've been waiting for help--and only Keira can hear them. But, even as Keira tries to learn the tangled histories of some of the graveyard's oldest denizens, danger seeps from the forest. A vicious serial killer was interred among the trees decades before. His spirit became twisted by his violent nature. Ravenous. And Keira is more than uniquely connected to the spirit world: she's uniquely vulnerable. When she hears his calls and steps between the trees, she seals her fate as his final intended victim.

Another fun read in which we discover that Coates doesn't do as many throwaway lines as we might have thought.
Darcy Coates has done it again. The second book in the Gravekeeper series did not disappoint. The first book left us with some questions and the second gave some answers....and more questions. I love the pacing of these books. It is quick moving without feeling rushed. Keira regularly evolves. She has very little reason to be as compassionate as she is, but yet she continues to make decisions based on her need to help others. This book picks up right where the last one finishes and shows Keira learning more about her background, her gifts, and how to allow others to help her and be a friend. The town and the people in it are quaint and adds the perfect backdrop to the mystery that is Keira.
I would highly recommend this book! With every Darcy Coates book I read I fall more in love with her writing. This series is one I'm going to relish however many books come out.
⭐⭐⭐ — I freaking LOVE the cover on this one!
This one turned out to be just okay for me. It wasn't a bad book by any means. I just found it a little on the boring side. Perhaps this is because I haven't read the first book? That said, I enjoyed the characters and their banter. And the setting was very cool and suitably creepy. I am on the fence on if I will read book 3 or pass.
