The Whispering Dead

It's a story that feels familiar, girl who can who can see the dead enters a small town and quickly finds her peculiar found family and nemesis, we've read that one before haven't we? Maybe.
It's still a fun read with endearing characters that include a goofy little black cat and a caricature of a conspiracy theorist.

If you are looking for a fun, light, mysterious haunted story, behold this gem of a book. It jumps right into something that is mysterious, exciting, and a bit scary. From there it takes you on a ride with the delightful MC Keira. It gives you the cozy feeling of being in a small town with a bunch of likable characters. Yet, there is always that bit of mystery and danger lurking. Throughout the book, I fell in love with the town, Keira, and the group of people that she's surrounded by. And then finding out there is a second book to this really made my heart soar.

Overall, this is a great book for those that love a bit of a scare but are not ready to get too dark or creepy.

i didn't really like anything about this. i think darcy coates books are just not for me. i read horror for an atmosphere and writing style she just doesn't have. i didn't like the sense of humor or any characters in this book, and this is now the second time i've read a memory loss plot line from her, neither of which i liked. not for me. i feel bad for the one star because i don't think it's necessarily objectively awful but i have nothing good to say about it, it all felt so recycled and cheesy.
