Four "Mysterious Apparition" Spooks
Ghostly Whispers!
A taste of what lies within:
Kiera wakes up in the woods with no idea of how she ended up there and she has a nasty bump on her head, but worse than being knocked out is to know that someone is hunting her. She runs through the woods trying to escape whoever is chasing her and she stumbles across a parsonage out in a cemetery. Adage, the pastor, takes her into his home and hides her just in time before the "someone" is pounding on the door wanting to know if the pastor has seen her, but the pastor ends up lying to the person and they go away.
After chatting with Kiera and learning that she has a case of amnesia, Adage puts her up in a guest cottage that sits at the back of the cemetery till he can find out in town who she might be. As Kiera settles into the cottage, she realizes that she has the gift of second sight as she is able to see restless souls that wander the cemetery. When she finds out from Adage that there is a ghost mystery surrounding the area from a woman's murder that took place in the 1800's she decides to try and investigate of why the soul of the murdered woman has not moved on.
With the help of a shop keeper in the small town of Blighty named Zoe and the help of a local doctor intern named Mason, Kiera sets out to find whatever she can on why there are restless spirits in the area along with finding out more about herself and how she came to end up in that area with only the memory of her name.
That is about all I can give a taste on without giving away spoilers, so you will just have to read the book.
Thoughts:
I thought this book would be more spookier and would have more shivering chills but really the book was more of a mystery/ghost story which was fine to me as it still drew me into the storyline as I wanted to know more about the lead female character, Kiera.
The story was up and down as it seemed to drag in parts, but then the last half of the book took off into a state of suspense and tension when Kiera learns some facts about the area and she starts encountering more ghosts that are earth bound.
This is the first book in the Gravekeeper series and the book still did not tie up loose ends about Keira as she still does not know where she came from or anything about her past. There were some other unanswered questions with different things in the book, but I feel like with any series not everything is going to be wrapped up in the first book and that is why I will be looking forward to the rest of the series to see how everything pans out in the future books.
I will eventually move into the second book which is "The Ravenous Dead" as I want to find out what Kiera discovers about herself along with where her next ghost adventures will take her.
