I think this book’s title should have been The Ravenous Dead and the previous book’s title should have been The Twisted Dead. I was excited to finally get to know Dane and see what spirits and other dark secrets awaited in Crispin manor. I was a bit disappointed. The book followed a couple of other plot lines, especially the mysterious organization tied to Keira’s past. I was much more interested in the ghosts than taking down an evil organization. I also felt like some of the villains were too one-dimensional and even a bit silly. The dialogue and relationship between Keira, Mason, and Zoe was just so cheesy. Especially with the budding romance. I don’t feel compelled to read the last two books, but I am glad I have these three a try. They were fun mysteries to pass the time. I loved the ending of this book though!

Is this the real golden trio!?? I’m enjoying how their relationships with one another deepen over time. Kiera is a fantastic and fascinating protagonist, Mason is a sweetheart (he just needs a flaw!), and Zoe is My Girl. This book was a little busy in regard to the plot. A lot was happening, maybe too much? But it was all a lot of fun.

We are getting more information on Kiera’s backstory and suspension of disbelief gets tougher for me. I mostly enjoy Zoe and Mason’s characters (Zoe is often a bit much). The series concludes with book 5, so I’ll likely read them all. Definitely need to be read sequentially.
