This is the second book in this series and I noticed that you can read this as a standalone but I personally would recommend that you read the first book of the series before you read this. It gives us more backstory about Keira and how she met Adage, Mason and Zoe. I liked this book just a tiny bit more than the first novel. That is why this has a 4 star review. This story begins right where it left of from the first book. There are multiple mysteries going on just like The Whispering Dead. Keira is still intend to find out more about herself but it feels like it is on the backburner. She is so intent to find out the identity of the John Doe buried in the cemetery but there is a malevolent and angry ghost intend to consume all the energy of the ghost and people. The more energy it consumes the stronger it becomes.
Keira’s friends are both different. Zoe is so quirky and she has a lot of paranoid conspiracies. I just wish the back stories of both Mason and Zoe would be explored more. I would like to know why Mason left his studies for being a doctor. Zoe is researching the insignia of the organization that is targeting Keira but yet again we wont find out anything about that in this novel.
There is a tiny bit of romance but I mean you have to squint for that. Mason’s care for Keira is seen but nothing happens to take further action in the romance part. Once again this novel could have been spookier but this is still a quick and fast read. I would like to call it a cozy read. Wish I could have read this laying comfy in my bed instead of listening to the audio while at work. I love seeing the trust starting to build between the three friends with Adage knowing about her gift with Keira being afraid to tell Mason and Zoe. Yet when they know they help even more than before.
Still I enjoyed this novel and I will always look at Darcy Coates books first if I am in the mood for Horror or ghost stories.
I would easily read again as this is fast read and I do love ghost stories.

I had forgotten this was a series and read the first one awhile ago. I thought it was okay, but this one just isn’t holding my interest and the character is frustrating.
4⭐️!
This is book #2 in the series. I overall enjoyed! This series isn’t marketed as YA, but it definitely feels like it. While this is spooky, it’s not as scary as an adult horror book so keep that in mind! This series gives me Buffy the vampire slayer vibes but with ghosts instead of vampires which is fun.
I will say I wasn’t fully invested until about half way in, and put this book down for a full month. It’s a little slow to start. I liked the ending though and will continue the series because I have an ARC of the 4th one still!

I enjoyed learning a bit more about the frame narrative in this one, though the self-contained ghost mystery was a bit lackluster compared to the first book.
