Synopsis

Book 3 of 3: Gravekeeper

Keira is ready for a normal life. Hunted and haunted, all she wants is to put her mysterious past behind her and move forward with her new friends as Blighty Graveyard's groundskeeper. But then she receives an invitation to dinner at the local recluse's crumbling ancestral estate. The mansion is steeped in history that is equal parts complicated and bloody-and at its center is the man who once tried to kill her, now begging for her help.

Dane Crispin believes his home is haunted-and that the unquiet dead clawing through the ancient house are after him. Unnerved but intrigued, Keira opens her second sight and discovers he's right: resentful specters cling to Dane...and if she can't find a way to stop them, threaten to consume everything in their path.

There's something dark happening in the world beyond most peoples' vision, and if Keira isn't able to sever the ties between the living and the dead, the chained spirits may not be the only things twisted beyond saving.

Reviews

The real pull of the novel is Keira and her friends...it is so enjoyable to be a member of this circle.
Booklist
I loved it so much. I have been reading this series since the first book. This series is in my opinion, Coates' best work so far. I can't wait for the next book. Zoey is by far my favorite character and I desperately need a best friend just like her.
