Thank you to netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review. The Twisted Dead is the third installment in Darcy Coates' Gravekeeper series. In this book we once again follow Kiera, Mason, and Zoe as they try to help Dane Crispin with a problem that he is having, and along the way run into trouble.

In general, I loved this book, but I also love Darcy Coates as a whole. However, this book felt too short in a way. I almost wished it was longer so that the plot as a whole could be flushed out a bit more. Or, I wish that books 1-3 came together as a bind-up. Do not get me wrong, I still think the book is good, I am I read it in one sitting without even realizing it. Yet, there is a part of me that just was left wanting more of something. Whether it be plot or character development, a common theme I have found while reading this series specifically is that with each book I am left with this odd feeling as though it is missing something.

For fellow Darcy Coates lovers like myself, do not worry, this has all the same hallmarks as Darcy's other works: haunted houses, ghosts, a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and a mystery that you cannot seem to work out until the answer is provided for you. I am excited to see where this Coates takes this series and what happens next as the book leaves you with more questions than answers, in a good way of course.
