Review:

I picked this book up due to the length. I needed a quick read to go with what I was doing. I am glad that I picked this book up! I ended up liking it a lot.

Keira isn't exactly lovable character, but she is well written. You could feel for her and put yourself in her place. All other characters are stereotypical. I think it is good as having to explain why they aren't stereotypical would take too much away from the story.

I am going to keep reading this series as I want to know who Keira was before she came to Blighty. I want to know why she can see the dead.

Edited to add: I have read some reviews. Why complain about things being left open if you knew it was the 1st in a series? It's obvious things NEEDED to stay open.

Goodreads Description:

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.
