I didn't think this book was as intriguing and the other books. It had more predictable elements. That ending was so bizarre!

Loved it, Love the series, love the world and characters.
Hauntingly told this last tale of Amelia the Graveyard Queen was a bitter sweet treat. I savored each beautifully laid out scene, each twist and turn. There were some serious goose-bump moments and a couple where I may have even turned on a few extra lights while curling up next to my dogs. You know just to stay warm, LOL. It didn't help that we had a severe storm things blowing against the roof. while an intense scene with wicked things landing on Amelia's roof. Double scare time, and I loved it. Ms. Stevens rocked out a BOOM BOOM ending that fit well with this reader. I want more, but I appreciate more an author that know when the end has come.
I am not going to tell you what happens. If you have been reading along with this series you should have a lot of unanswered questions. I know I did, and I wanted answers. Oh boy did Ms. Stevens answer them. Sit down and grab some calming tea ladies and gentlemen, you are in for a bumpy ride, please keep to the light. The ending was perfect.

I just can't believe the saga is over. This was my fav book series since 2010 and I always got excited when a new book came out. But this time is over. There wont be any more "I can't wait for the next book."
I must admit that there were a few things I did not like about this last book (just some minor details and the ridiculous last sentences that seemed like out of a bad tv show). The rest was amazing, as always. I will really miss Amelia and her world.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Jak už jsem se kdysi zmínila, tato série je pro mě poměrně srdeční záležitost. A to platí i pro její poslední knihu, která se rozhodně povedla a celou sérii uzavírá s grácií. Jsem moc ráda, že jsem měla příležitost si tyto knihy přečíst.

When I read the blurb for The Awakening, I thought “brilliant; a child ghost, this will be really creepy.” Unfortunately, I found the book more irritating than spooky. Amelia seemed to make every b-grade horror movie mistake – she spent pages articulating why she shouldn’t do something risky, then do it anyway. AND, if something evil is watching you from outside your house, CLOSE THE BL00DY CURTAINS!
This was not my favourite Amanda Stevens book. However, I can’t wait for the next one.

The end
The last book in the series is wrapping up most of loose ends. The ending is open to interpretation but I’m glad to see Amelia and Devlin resolving the issue. They will be happy together after all.

I am sad to see this series end, but at the same time I am happy that it ended well and did not drag out like some were you just start to feel meh about the whole thing. I will also miss the whole vibe of the series. Southern Gothic mystery, it's spooky, without being scary.
Amelia still misses Devlin, and so do I. They were good together, but he was in deep with...other things. But this new case she is on takes her back to him and his world. Something was buried in that graveyard, something is haunting it. And she must find out what happened because the ghost will not let go of her.
Ghosts who want answers, bad omens and creepy gravayards. This is such a great world she created. I can feel I was there in then heat, dirt and strange things happening.
I was happy how it all ended. A good series that I am sad to see end.

Predictable, yet creepy, this final installment of the Graveyard Queen series wasn't as strong as the previous novel. The villains were obvious and transparent, the identity of the ghost girl wasn't a surprise, and the ending was definitely anti-climactic.
Still, the book was scary (and therefore enjoyable) so it gets a solid three stars from me.
