Homeless, hunted, and desperate to escape a bitter storm, Keira takes refuge in an abandoned groundskeeper's cottage. Her new home is tucked away at the edge of a cemetery, surrounded on all sides by gravestones: some recent, some hundreds of years old, all suffering from neglect.

And in the darkness, she can hear the unquiet dead whispering.

The cemetery is alive with faint, spectral shapes, led by a woman who died before her time…and Keira, the only person who can see her, has become her new target. Determined to help put the ghost to rest, Keira digs into the spirit's past life with the help of unlikely new friends, and discovers a history of deception, ill-fated love, and murder.

But the past is not as simple as it seems, and Keira's time is running out. Tangled in a dangerous web, she has to find a way to free the spirit...even if it means offering her own life in return.

The book’s thin plot was fluffed out with repetitive descriptions of characters’ inconsequential actions, such as, “Kira swallowed,” or “Kira saw the cat’s large, amber eyes glow.” It felt like the author had a 50-page story that her editors wanted beefed up to 300 pages. I became increasingly frustrated as the book went on. The ghosts weren’t scary, either. The relationships between the characters felt like the book was aimed at teenagers. I much preferred “Gallows Hill.”

Felt like a Young Adult novel

This story made absolutely no sense. It just wasn’t good. I expect better from Darcy Coates and wonder how it got past the editor. Pretty sure I got this one on sale for $3 or less and I am still disappointed.

Nope

Nothing happens during the first 3/4 of the book. This would have made an ok short story. You also didn't learn anything during that first 6 hours you couldn't pick up at the end. sorry.

Skip the first 6 hours.
