Omg, omg people! This book was so good. Yes I liked book 1 and it was so hard to put down but this one was even better! I started it and was unable to put it down, I realized that I had missed lunch and tore myself away for 5 minutes. I was utterly lost in this world and did not stop until I reached...

I felt as if this second offering of the Graveyard Queen went in a completely different direction. The focus was on Amelia and the secrets her family has been keeping from her.I thought the first book 'The Restorer' had a better balance between her job and her identity.I was also slightly disappoint...

Wow what a book. This is shaping up to be a great series. I could not put it down. I am so glad I have the next one to start straight away. There are still so many unanswered questions. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Great second book! Amelia is hired to restore a graveyard in Asher Falls and as soon as she makes it there the place feels oppressive and the people are creepy. Even the guy she met on the ferry tries to scare her with ghost stores. Well most of the stories are real and Amelia finds out a lot abo...

I'd give this one a 2.5This paranormal/horror/mystery novel is the second in the Graveyard Queen series, focusing around Amelia Gray, a cemetery restorer who has the ability to see the dead. The topic of cemeteries as a link to history and the past has always intrigued me, and the first book was on...
