The Gravekeeper series just gets better with every book. As soon as I started reading I was instantly reminded why I love these characters so much. Honestly, even if you haven’t read the first two in the series, this book alone is enough to make you love Zoe, Mason and Keira. Even Harry’s little cameos are some of my favorite parts. 

In this book not only do we get a few more missing pieces from Kiera’s past, we also dive a little more into Mason’s time he spent at med school, as well as Dane Crispin’s life after he asks Keira to help him with a ghost problem he’s having. 

Of course, Coates is such an amazing writer, there isn’t a dull moment in this book. Everything ties together so nicely in the end that your left feeling both satisfied and wanting more! 

I cannot wait for the next installment of this series!

Release: February 7, 2023

When I requested this book I had zero idea that this was #3 in a series! (Whispering Dead & Ravenous Dead) But don't worry, that didn't stop me from enjoying it! Actually, it kind of made me want to read the first two to get the full scope of what I was reading.

The author made it easy to jump in by doing quick little nods/recaps of the first two books, but I was still left wanting more of that backstory. (Which again, is a *me* thing, not anything against this book. I didn't do my research and see it was a series!)

This was a fun, easy read. (I did go back and check to see if I missed a memo or something about this being YA? But no, it's adult) I loved the cemetery scenery and the differences of ghosts/spectors/etc. And the sarcastic humor sprinkled in. I didn't get hooked right away, but once I was in, I was IN.

I love this series, it's was my first introduction to Darcy Coates. I gave the other two books 5 stars and this one didn't disappoint. It was great, I love the characters especially Zoe and I am starting to like Dane too.

The next stop on Darcy Coates’ Gravekeeper Series is a wild ride. Any issues I have with plot is made up for by the characters. Mason and Zoe are the best companions!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
