"Lovers of ghosts and ghouls will shiver with delight."--Kirkus ReviewsKeira, hired as Blighty Graveyard's new groundskeeper, lives surrounded by the dead. They watch her through the fog. They wordlessly cry out. They've been desperately waiting for help moving on--and only Keira can hear them. But not every restless spirit wants to be saved.Sometimes the dead hate the living too much to find peace.As Keira struggles to uncover the tangled histories of some of the graveyard's oldest denizens, danger seeps from the darkest edges of the forest. A vicious serial killer was interred among the trees decades before, his spirit twisted by his violent nature. He's furious. Ravenous. And when Keira unwittingly answers his call, she may just seal her fate as his final intended victim."The Whispering Dead was one of last year's little wonders, a horror novel with a surprising amount of humor and heart among all its terrors. This sequel continues Keira's quest to uncover her lost memories and bring peace to the spirits of the dead, but gives her a new enemy in the form of a ferocious ghost that refuses to go gently into that good night." --BookPage, 2022 Most Anticipated Sci-Fi FantasyMore in The Gravekeeper Series by Darcy Coates: The Whispering Dead, Book 1The Ravenous Dead, Book 2The Twisted Dead, Book 3The Hollow Dead, Book 4The Vengeful Dead, Book 5

"Darcy Coates has done it again. The second book in the Gravekeeper series did not disappoint. The first book left us with some questions and the second gave some answers....and more questions. I love the pacing of these books. It is quick moving without feeling rushed. Keira regularly evolves. She has very little reason to be as compassionate as she is, but yet she continues to make decisions based on her need to help others. This book picks up right where the last one finishes and shows Keira learning more about her background, her gifts, and how to allow others to help her and be a friend. The town and the people in it are quaint and adds the perfect backdrop to the mystery that is Keira. <br/><br/>I would highly recommend this book! With every Darcy Coates book I read I fall more in love with her writing. This series is one I'm going to relish however many books come out."
