About this audiobook

Homeless, hunted, and desperate to escape a bitter storm, Keira takes refuge in an abandoned groundskeeper's cottage. Her new home is tucked away at the edge of a cemetery, surrounded on all sides by gravestones: some recent, some hundreds of years old, all suffering from neglect.

And in the darkness, she can hear the unquiet dead whispering.

The cemetery is alive with faint, spectral shapes, led by a woman who died before her time...and Keira, the only person who can see her, has become her new target. Determined to help put the ghost to rest, Keira digs into the spirit's past life with the help of unlikely new friends, and discovers a history of deception, ill-fated love, and murder.

But the past is not as simple as it seems, and Keira's time is running out. Tangled in a dangerous web, she has to find a way to free the spirit...even if it means offering her own life in return.

I love Darcy Coates books, really, but I can't go through this one. The beginning is unbearable. The main character keeps throwing poor jokes and snakry remarks left and right, while being in probably the most distressing situation one can think of, she has enough high spirits to focus on a handsome stranger's dark hair and green eyes even though she's just seen a ghost? No. thank you, that's not a realistic, mature storytelling.

I absolutely LOVE this author. This is the first in this series, and I'm so hooked!!! You get the creepy factor without gore, swearing, smut, which I'm not against, but I can listen to these without getting in trouble at work. This story will suck you right in... you will be unable to not finish the series if the next ones are even half as good as this one was.
