This is a creepy, cozy horror in true Darcy Coates fashion! You really can't go wrong with her books. I did not read the first two books before this one, but really enjoyed it - now I'm excited to read the other two!
Fast paced, great read - highly recommend!

This was my first experience with Darcy Coates, not having read the first two books in the Gravekeeper series. I was admittedly nervous entering the series at book 3. I wondered if there would be major world-building and relationship developments in previous books that would not be repeated in this one, leaving me out of the loop and confused. To be honest, I would have accepted that because it is on me as the reader to read earlier books if I want the full experience. With that said, Darcy Coates did an impressive job of giving the necessary information from books 1 and 2 without, in my opinion, giving away major spoilers. So, I would be able to go back and enjoy the earlier books in the series and gain fresh experiences.

Overall, I enjoyed the comradery between Keira and her friends. Their unwavering support of each other was nice, and the overarching mystery behind Keira's abilities and memory loss was interesting. I did, however, elect to DNF at approximately 55%. My reasons for not finishing this novel was because I didn't feel fully invested in the narrative, the plotting felt a bit forced and convenient at times, and Mason's reasons for leaving school seemed odd. I fully understood the unsettling experience of a murder happening and some feelings of guilt in Mason's case, but his dislike of "the person he was becoming" seemed a bit heavy-handed for me. I could see myself recommending this book to those who tend to love paranormal cozy mysteries, and I wouldn't be against trying another book by this author because the writing and character description was good overall.

Love this series! Takes you on a ghostly journey with 3 friends. You will learn more of the ground of where Keira comes from but not all. Fantastic series.

The Twisted Dead follows some of Coates’s most beloved characters and they encounter spirits from the other side. This book is an incredibly cozy horror read, one suitable for young adults and some teenagers. It is fun, funny, charming, and enthralling. Coates shows once again that she is a master of the craft and can get even this gore loving reader to relax with a good cozy scare.

I loooooveeee Darcy Coates and this was such a good read. I will deff be buying this book to complete my set.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. 4.25 stars rounding down to 4 for GoodReads. This was absolutely my favorite in the series so far! This one really dives into more of the people who are after the protagonist and how she ended up where she is. This is also the first of the series that I have physically read and I think it helped a lot with my enjoyment. I like Keira but for me it’s really the side characters that shined through on this one, Dane and Zoe in particular. I’m pretty excited to pick up the next one as this one left me with questions I am dying to get answered. I struggled with this series at first but by this third book I think it’s really taking on a life of its own and establishing what it is. So much action and adventure was packed into this one that I didn’t realize I was seventy percent of the way through until I looked down and checked! I think this is a perfect, light horror series for young adult readers. Because despite the lack of marketing (I am confused as to whether this is supposed to be adult or YA), this is totally a young adult series. I remember reading plenty of series like this in middle school and early high school and I believe readers of that age will enjoy this series much more. Overall, I am excited to have enjoyed my time with this one and being back in the Gravekeeper series.

This book has so much within the pages. I love how complex she is. The bond she has with the spirits she is trying to help, the friendships and bonds and trust, the budding romance. Yet still has the drama and excitement and desire to know what's to come

This is the third book in the Gravekeeper series, Keira is slowly learning who is chasing her as well as trying to help the ghosts in the graveyard where she works move on.
Keira is a great character but for me the star of the book is Zoe, I love her quirkiness and how knowledgeable she is on conspiracy theories.
The friendship between Kiera, Zoe and Mason is genuine, loving and full of fun and adventure.
I love this story as Darcy Coates is very good at writing spooky stories that put you on edge and leave you feeling slightly uncomfortable.

This has been such a superb series! The Twisted Dead is definitely my favorite so far. These books are genuinely spooky and hilarious at the same time. Darcy Coates does an amazing job at making it all seem believable. I loved learning more about Keira's backstory and getting a closer look at the people chasing her.
The side characters are pure gold! Zoe is an absolute delight, and I have a soft spot for Harry. It was wonderful getting to know Dane Crispin in this book and learning why Mason left medical school. The banter between all of them is really great!
I truly enjoyed every ghost filled minute of this book and can't wait for the next one.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Obviously I went into this blind- it was a really twisty, fun story. I just love Darcy Coates as an author and did not pay attention to the fact it was part of a series before requesting. Stunning!
Thank you #Netgalley and publishers for the opportunity to read a free e-arc of this one in exchange for my honest review!

Keira have an extraordinary power of seeing ghosts and as a groundskeeper she fulfils their wishes to find peace.On visiting Dane Crispin's Mansion he asks her help to get rid of all the restless ghost who never left the mansion and is retaining his energy.Keira strive to expand her power to help dane and do boundless things that she is destined to do.
The book is fast paced and all the characters are loveable especially the relationship between Kiera, Zoe and Mason.
The plot is average but after the first half I lost the connection to the plot.I think the story diverted to many angles that it felt too much and lot of things were happening at the same time.

Whenever I read a @darcybooks book I usually look forward to the scary stuffs which was not present in this one.So I would say I was little disappointed, I think I am not the audience for this one and I would recommend this as YA or middle grade fiction.

Fast and easy read! This is the first book I've read from Darcy Coates and also the first in this series, and it was easy to read on its own. Absolutely loved the main character. It was so fun to follow her around on her journey.

I have been a previous fan of Coates' work, but I just couldn't get into The Twisted Dead.
The novel feels like it begins midway into the story, meaning the reader is always on the back foot and constantly trying to get up to speed.
There are interesting references to films such as Ghostbusters and while The Twisted Dead does create some suspenseful chapters, it's the characters which make this a tricky read.

I absolutely love this series, and it just keeps getting better and better with each new addition. I adore Keira, Mason, and Zoe (especially Zoe), and I love getting to know them more and more with each book. Their trio is definitely friendship goals, and I wish I could be a part of it. Daisy is the best cat in the world, and I wish she was mine. Interactions with her always make laugh and bring a smile to my face.

What I especially loved about this book was getting to know more about Dane Crispin and finally learning the mysterious truth of why Mason left medical school. Keira's control and knowledge of her powers continue to grow, and she grows stronger as a result.

This series makes me laugh and cry and feel all the feels, and I absolutely cannot wait for the next installment!

The Twisted Dead by Darcy Coates was a great and creepy read. It is a page-turner that once you start reading it you won't want to put it down. The characters and location are interesting. If you are a fan of the author or horror stories in general, then I highly recommend you check out this book!

THE TWISTED DEAD is the third installment in Darcy Coates's GRAVEKEEPER series.

So far in the series, we've been introduced to Keira, a woman on the run who finds refuge in the small town of Blighty when a kind old pastor named Adage takes pity on her. Keira has no memory of her past life, but with the help of Adage and a couple of new friends - Zoe, a quirky conspiracy theorist, and Mason, a kind but haunted almost-doctor - she manages to start something of a new life.

She also discovers she can see and communicate with ghosts. It's convenient, then, that she now lives in the groundskeeper's cottage at the local graveyard.

The first two books chronicle the adventures of Keira and friends as she learns to use her supernatural skills to face down various evils. This newest addition to the series finds Keira, Zoe, and Mason attempting to help the town recluse, Dane Crispin, rid his house of the dozens of energy-sucking spirits that have plagued him his whole life. About a third of the way through the book, we veer off onto a separate plotline in which we finally - finally! - find out why Mason abruptly left medical school and get some answers about Keira's past.

All the characters are uniquely likable, from the quiet chivalry of poor Mason (who is in way over his head) to the absolute off-the-wall weirdness of Zoe, to the lovably doddering old man cluelessness of Adage. And don't forget Daisy, the possibly magical cat.

These books are fun. They're adventure tales with a supernatural bent, full of ghosts for sure, but also shadowy organizations and murderers and plenty of run-for-your-life moments. All of Keira's questions haven't been answered yet, so there must be at least one more book to come. I look forward to reading it.

Oh man, oh man, oh man! I’ll go ahead and say it— I think this is my fave book in the series so far!? 😀 The GraveKeeper series just gets better and better with each book. I love how consistent the series is at keeping the momentum rolling and growing each installment. 😮

The plot blurb is a little vague, so I was honestly not sure what to expect going in. The Twisted Dead keeps you guessing the whole time! I had no idea where this was going through out the whole story. So many unexpected events happened that are not mentioned in the book blurb, it was just surprise after surprise! 😮

The plot sounded like it was just going to be about one of the side characters, Dane. But the plot actually not only involved learning a lot about the main characters, but also making progress on several of the side plots lurking in the back ground. I was ecstatic at the side plot progress in book #3!! 😀 Answers, Yay!! So excited.

I had a fantastic time reading The Twisted Dead. ❤ 🙂 So many spooky things happened, so many wholesome moments happened. So many over all story arch reveals, this book was like a creepy roller coaster ride! Loved ever minute of this story. I am dying for the next book now!! Can’t wait to see what happens next.

I am a huge fan of Darcy Coates and this book was no exception. It was full of eerie and creepy vibes and I am here for it! I was hooked from the start and devoured this book until the very end. Highly recommend this book. I am excited to read more by this author.

First things first…..A HUGE THANK YOU to Netgalley, Darcy Coates and Poisoned Pen
Press for the opportunity to read The Twisted Dead: Gravekeeper, Book 3.
.
Darcy does it again in the third book of her Gravekeeper series. The first 2 books were what drew
me in and I can’t wait for the next installment.
.
I’m in love with this series. I flew through the first two books in this series and eagerly awaited the
3rd. Through the stories you understand that Keira has the gift of seeing spirits. She fled her old life
and ended up with Amnesia. After this, she has been able to provide help to spirits with “people
problems,” and people with “spirit problems.” Lets tack in the friends to make an amazing character
an amazing trio. Zoe and Mason have the strong relationship with Keira, plus the slow burn of
romance between Keira and Mason.
.
Darcy tends to write intriguing stories that can leave me creeped out but also feeling good. The
Gravekeepers series has amazing characters, but also gives me the paranormal and eeriness I’ve
come to love from these books. We do get some answers from the previous books, but also left with
a handful more questions. I’m excited for the next book!!
.
If you enjoy horror (but not really scary), paranormal, intense suspense, mystery, and close friends,
then you must read this series!!
.
Again, Huge thanks to Netgalley for the ARC Copy for review. All opinions are mine alone.

I really liked this story. Darcy Coates writes engaging characters, who readers can relate to and enjoy throughout her books. I would recommend this book to my friends. I look forward to more books by Darcy in the future
