this story is so intriguing and i loved the twist at the end! an absolute delight

The Ravenous Dead is the second book in Coates' Gravekeeper series.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series. The characters are so well developed that I feel like I know them and am invested in their stories. I especially love Zoe; she makes me laugh out loud with some of the quips she throws at her friends.
Keira is a woman with no past, that she can remember. She has landed in the town of Blighty and realized she can see ghosts. She's found a job as the caretaker of a graveyard. There she can help the ghosts find the thing that is keeping them from moving on. When she is suddenly tormented by a dark shade who seems to be consuming other ghosts before they can pass on. She and her friends Zoe & Mason try to put all the pieces together of who is terrorizing their town.
I'm dying to know more about Keira's past. Who is she, really, and why are people still looking for her? The author is keeping the details under wraps for now, so I'll have to wait and see what the next book reveals.

I love this series. The story is fast-paced and keeps you hooked until the last second, and as someone who can usually guess the surprise/twist in the story, I didn't see either of the ending surprises coming. I'm so excited to see what happens next in Keira's life, I have so many questions. Darcy Coats has once again proven herself a master storyteller.
