The Twisted Dead by Darcy Coates
4.0
Kiera is mulling over the revelation she had in book two about local bully, Gavin. Then, Dane Crispin requests her help with a ghost problem. When Kiera gets a sense of the size of the infestation, she is determined to help Dane, especially once she realizes what is at the root of his misanthropic behaviour.
Kiera works with one of the ghosts in her graveyard to find a way to deal with the nasty ghosts in Crispin manor, but though she has a sense of what is needed, can't provide Dane with any relief.
Meanwhile, Mason finally divulges what sent him away from medical school, and of course Zoe immediately says they must return to the school to deal with the situation there.
And things wouldn't be complete without Artec making an appearance and sending the trio on the run after Kiera discovers some of what Artec is up to and why they want to eliminate her.
So, lots going on in this installment! There is no shortage of danger, malevolent ghosts and people threatening Kiera's tiny bit of safety in Blighty. We get some more funny Harry moments, which are always welcome. And the best part of this series, the friendship amongst Kiera, Zoe and Mason, is on display through
-a tense dinner with Dane, and
-a road trip arguing about what tunes to play and which snacks to eat.
But more critically,
-helping Mason's deal with his shame about why he left school abruptly, and
-evading the clutches of the persistent and well-armed Artec security force.
Between Mason's straight guy persona and willingness to patch up injuries, Zoe's conspiracy theorizing and ebullience, Kiera has two people who believe in her and stick by her, no matter how scared they all are. Then there's dear Daisy, also making sure Kiera is well.
I like Darcy Coates' mix of horror and humour in this series, and looking at how this book ended, I am looking forward to more ghost action and deepening friendship in what I hope is a book four coming.
Thank you to Netgalley and to Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC in exchange for my review.
