About this ebook
The New York Times–bestselling author of the Wicked Lovely series shares a “dark and dreamy . . . creatively creepy gothic tale for grown-ups” (USA Today).
Rebekkah Barrow never forgot her grandmother Maylene’s dedication to the dead. Maylene never missed a funeral in the small town of Claysville, and she always performed the same unusual ritual: She took three sips from a silver flask and spoke the words "Sleep well, and stay where I put you."
Now Maylene is dead, and Bek must return to Claysville—where she finally discovers the truth behind her grandmother’s odd traditions. Beneath the town lies a shadowy, lawless land where the dead reside. But they only stay put if they are properly cared for. Only the Graveminder and her Undertaker can set things right once the dead begin to walk.
Now Rebekkah has more than a funeral to attend to in Claysville. And what awaits her may be far worse: dark secrets, a centuries-old bargain, a romance that still haunts her, and a terrifying new calling.
“No one builds worlds like Melissa Marr.” —Charlaine Harris
“A deliciously creepy tale that is as skillfully wrought as it is spellbindingly imagined.” —Kelley Armstrong

I loved this book. It could have used a little more backstory to it or even a series on it would be great. I say it was fantastic and just because other people don't like it doesn't mean someone else won't.
