Reading THE AWAKENING was bittersweet, as it's the conclusion to one of my favorite series. I didn't want it to end! Known as the Graveyard Queen, protagonist Amelia Gray has made a successful career restoring dilapidated and often forgotten cemeteries. She's also gifted with being able to see and communicate with ghosts. Her latest job restoring Woodbine Cemetery brings her face to face with the malevolent spirit of a young girl. She seems to be fixated on an unnamed baby's grave, and it's up to Amelia to figure out the connection between them and what will finally allow the child to rest in peace.
A lot more juicy secrets are revealed in this book, and Amelia's turbulent on-again, off-again relationship with John Devlin comes to a head. Though I was sad to see the story end, I was pleased with the way the author wrapped things up. Emotional! I highly recommend the Graveyard Queen series to fans of Gothic suspense and creepy ghost stories, just start at the beginning with The Restorer (#1) or The Abandoned (#0.5).
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
