Kiera and her friends have found another mystery to solve while being surrounded by ghosts and a mysterious group that wants to silence her forever. I enjoyed this book as we uncover more about Kiera's past and her powers to help/hinder ghosts. These books are a good mix of mystery, horror, and friendship. I look forward to reading the next one in the series.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC!
I actually didn't realize this was part of a series when I requested it, but the author did a great job with giving enough detail that could be read as a standalone. I was confused for a minute but I was able to quickly understand what was going on in the story. Witty and enjoyable characters and conversations, spooky but not too much. Now I have to go back and read the first two books!

I cant wait for this story to continue! Im only giving this book 4 stars because i felt it sole purpose to continue the story. While it was great, it didn't draw me in as much the way the first and second book did.

I have nothing new to add but am still enjoying the series. Excerpt from Book#2 still applies: The ghost mystery was interesting, the friendship development was fantastic, and Kiera's character development was phenomenal especially given the fact that she still knows nothing about herself. She's using her instincts to forge a new life, a new home, and it's really enjoyable to read.
Every time I think this series has hit its peak, I am pleasantly contradicted. Darcy Coates does it again! A magnificent addition to the Gravekeeper chorincles, The Twisted Dead is part horror, part mystery, part thriller, and impossible to put down. Seriously, if you have not read these books, you should. Keira, Mason, and Zoe are wonderful protagonists and the town of Blighty is never short of intriguing characters. I can't wait to read the 4th addition! Please, keep them coming!
What a fun read! I had no idea that this was smack in the middle of a series, but that didn't matter. This stood alone perfectly! The downside? Now I want to read them all! LOL.
Keira is dealing with amnesia and being able to see ghosts. She's handling both pretty well and even helps the ghosts she can. With the help of her friends, it's almost a piece of cake. There are more than just ghosts that was Keira and she's trying to figure out why.
This was an angst-free zone. I could hardly believe it. Keira was the kind one, Mason was the considerate one, and Zoe was the witty one. Talk about a well-balanced Scooby Gang. I love me a Scooby Gang.
More so, this book moved at a steady pace and was quite an adventure. I really enjoyed that the book didn't circulate around one place but actually took the reader for a ride. There was more than one plot but Coates pulled it all together splendidly. Talk about a great book! The storytelling was superb.
The writing really gripped me. What a page-turner!

Best one yet! This book had SO much! I loved seeing Keira grow even more into her abilities while trying to help ghosts and people alike. All while her past continues to stalk her.
Light horror and paranormal mystery. This series does a great job at resolving small plots and slowly revealing more and more secrets about the characters. So the main plot of who is Kiera and why is she running remains unanswered but you still get the closure at the end of each book from the “side quests”. Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone as the author does a great job at recapping the main points from the previous book, but I recommend reading all three in order.
More questions are answered in the 3rd book of the Gravekeeper series. To include more information about Mason and Kiera’s history. The ghosts in this book were not as interesting to me as the ghosts in the second book but it was still a really great book. Book 4 comes out in February and I’ll be happy to learn more about Kiera.

I was not crazy about the 1st book because a lot was left unsaid. However, each book is actually getting better and better. I want to pick up the next in the series.
