This was by far the best book of this series yet! Coates continues to write ghost stories that don't feel cheesy, which is a feat. These books are delightfully spooky and twisty. There is some genuine scare factor, but as someone who doesn't really love gratuitous violence or horror that is scary but doesn't make sense, this is a great read. I so enjoyed getting to dig deeper into Keira's backstory, and to finally meet some of her nameless, faceless pursuers. I definitely need more, and I want so badly for Keira to solve her amnesia mystery! Zoe is an incredible character who I personally have come to adore. Her character is such a breath of fresh air as far as 'sidekicks' go. The trio's banter never fails to make me smile, and never feels forced or out of touch. I adore that all three characters have motivations, but aren't just bitter and angry about the hand they're dealt. I feel incredibly honored to be able to write this review before the public gets to read this, and I am enthusiastically encouraging everyone to pick this (and the rest of the series) up when it does come out. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick, entertaining, well written, and endlessly fun series to binge.

Kiera has a special gift and isn’t entirely sure where it stems from; she sees ghosts AND she literally has amnesia 😮. Her two friends Zoe and Mason have wholeheartedly joined her on her Callings to assist these lost souls as well as uncover the truth about her past. 

This third instalment starts right where book 2 ends and is pretty much go-go-go action right from chapter 1.  The feel of the story leans towards YA in my opinion; more cozy horror with feel-good vibes. 

As I mentioned regarding the first two in the series, anyone who enjoyed Stephen King’s horror/mystery ‘Later’ or Dean Koontz’ Odd Thomas series will enjoy this fun and creepy series.
