Great Paranormal Thriller: The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates

Over the Halloween season, I decided to enjoy reading another horror/paranormal novel by Australian author Darcy Coates, and it was another page-turner!  "The Whispering Dead" captures you from the first chapter - when you meet Kiera, a woman who has lost her memory and is being pursued by someone through woods. From the minute she reaches a cemetery and the nearby pastor's house, strange things happen and she realizes she has a gift... while still not knowing her past. 
  I won't spoil it, but I will say it's worth reading. 5 of 5 stars!!!


About the book:   USA Today bestseller and rising queen of atmospheric horror Darcy Coates returns with a ghost story that will haunt you long after the final page. She hears them whispering...

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.  BOOK TRAILER: https://youtu.be/lfyBqcA2rHI?si=BgcrUoqhXKm6Iq_-
