Amelia Gray has been hired to restore Thornhill Cemetery in the mountains of South Carolina. This is not the Thornhill Cemetery that was flooded and lays at the bottom of Bell Lake. This is the newer cemetery that was donated to the town by the Asher family. Amelia finds the secluded cemetery creepy. Actually, the whole town is creepy. A ghost of a young woman hovers near the lake. Another ghost or demon slinks around the cemetery. Amelia knows not to acknowledge them, but she feels they are trying to contact her for a reason. When Amelia finds a grave outside of the cemetery, she mentions it to the people of the town. Suddenly someone wants Amelia to leave town...on her own or in a casket.

The second book in the Graveyard Queen series quickly pulls you into the story. An anonymous donor wanted Amelia hired for the restoration job. Was there a reason they wanted her to come to this town? Does Amelia have a personal connection to the town? Why is everyone who lives in this town so strange?

I thought the story had a strong beginning, but I kind of lost interest in the second half. Amelia did some things that I thought were just stupid. She was bordering on becoming a TSTL character. I also missed the setting of Charleston in the first book. It was a character in itself. This small town was just weird. I would have been running back home after the first night. My rating: 4 Stars.
