My Review:
I was drawn to this book because I love walking through old cemetaries and this book just spoke to me. After all, its subtitle is The Graveyard Queen Series. I was not disappointed with the amount of time the plot was actually in the cemetary. Most of the book takes place in a cemetary by the name of Oak Grove,in Charleston S.C. Along with a wonderful story line, I learned some new things about old cemetaries, such as the meanings of some of the symbols seen on old tombstones. Also, there are some wonderful epitaph's in this book along with their meanings. The epitaph's are the things I love most about old cemetaries. The main character is Amelia and she is an Archeologist who specializes in Cemetary restoration. But, she also has an ability to actually see the dead, whose graves she is restoring. She inherited this ability from her father. While working on the Oak Grove Cemetary, there is a series of murders that take place in the cemetary. Amelia gets herself involved with the Detective in charge of the case and together they will take you on a romantic, ghost story ride like you have never been on before. The next book in the series is due out in November, and I can't wait to read it! The name of it will be The Kindom and in May, 2012, the 3rd book will be The Prophet.
