The Ravenous Dead by Darcy Coates

5.0

This being the second installment of the Gravekeeper series, and in my honest opinion, far better than the first one!! That is by no means suggesting that [b:The Whispering Dead|55479351|The Whispering Dead (Gravekeeper, #1)|Darcy Coates|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1601469052l/55479351._SX50_.jpg|86522793] was not good, because I also gave that one 5 stars. The Ravenous Dead just had so much more to the story and for me that became that much more interesting.
This was such a great creepy book. I loved the whole concept of the shade. Very chilling. We also get to learn a little more about the cast in this one as well. Zoe, I just want to slap you for being so annoying, then hug you till your eyeballs pop out because your annoying personality is so damn infectious!!! I'm really enjoying the development of Keira's character, and we also find out her real name... at least I think so, but who knows what twists this series has for us. I may be wrong, but I think I seem to recall reading somewhere that there will be a total of 5 books to this series. Feel free to correct me if this is incorrect.
Anyone into creepy graveyards and spooky ghosts with crazy past lives, and great character companionships should definitely pick this book up, as well as the first one. You will not be disappointed!! Darcy Coates is one author who has consistently gotten two thumbs up from me from the very first book I've read of hers.
