I enjoyed it a lot but Keira’s constant need to do stuff on her own is pretty annoying. I do love the episodic feel of the books! Can’t wait to learn more about our protagonists back story.
The second of the series and although I do like this author quite a bit, this series just feels too young for me. Almost Goosebumps but a little older.
Don't get me wrong, it's fun, but 14 year old me would have appreciated this book much more than current me.
I am setting this series aside and moving on to other Darcy Coates books.
I will give this book a 5 star rating since it is good, and I know there is definitely an audience for it.

The sequel to The Whispering Dead, just as good as the first! This one takes place pretty much right where book 1 leaves off (I think it starts out like 36 hours later)
I am becoming very attached to these characters. If you’re like me and like found family definitely consider this series! Found family is one of my all time favorites tropes and the family Kiera is forming with the people of this small town are so lovable and wholesome.
I am definitely enjoying Kiera a lot more than I was in the first book. I feel like she’s gaining some depth and having a lot of growth which I love to see!
Can’t wait to read book 3 VERY VERY SOON

Keira inadvertently rouses the malevolent ghost of a late 1800s Blighty serial killer, and the shadowy men from her past have resurfaced. And gentle, death metal-loving soul and flower peddler Henry puts in an appearance, too, while Keira and her fast friends Zoe and Mason help her research town history and have her back during this fun second instalment by Darcy Coates.
Keira, now ensconced in the groundskeeper’s cottage near Adage’s home, has plenty to do, between figuring out how to send the serial ghost packing, and keeping safe from whoever tried killing her some days earlier (in book one).
It’s great seeing her take up her ghost-soothing/removing activities in earnest, and opening up to Zoe and Mason. I liked this development a lot, as Darcy Coates won’t have to contrive ridiculous situations and conversations just so Keira can avoid confessing she can see ghosts. This means the dynamic trio can put their energies towards both the ghost activities, and, more importantly, their growing friendship. Which I love. This relationship gave me many smiles—Zoe, of course, stole many a scene with her wild notions, and Mason’s solid, kind presence gives the friends the practical and serious grounding they need.
I suspect they’ll need to rely on each other more as they investigate the shadowy men on Keira’s trail. And I’m sure there will be many more ghosts needing help, too, from Keira, so it’s a pity I have to wait a while for book three.
Thank you to Netgalley and to Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC in exchange for my review.

Quite an upgrade from the last book in the series. A sprint to the end!
