Review:
Amanda Stevens’s books are addictive! I cannot get enough of this Graveyard Queen series. A woman who is titled the Graveyard Queen has the ability to see, hear, and feel ghosts. The ghosts are attracted to her for several reasons, one being that they need her help to solve their murder mystery. The other being that they are attracted to the light within her. Last, they know she is the passage to between veils. Amelia has had this ability since she was young girl. She is commonly known as a ghost seer.
The Sinner is the fifth adventure in this exciting journey. Seven Gates Cemetery is the latest cemetery restoration that Amelia is currently working. But this one, is one of the darkest and most terrifying murder mysteries Amelia has ever been involved in…their are evil ghosts haunting her, evil ghosts wanting her power, and the resurrection of a powerful evil ghost leader to stop. Many of the locals have been tortured and killed by the followers of an evil witch doctor. He found a way to keep being resurrected. He is now immortal and if Amelia doesn’t stop him, more people will die.
Amanda Stevens is a talented writer. She knows how to keep me guessing and on the edge of my seat with every book. I am in love with this series. I am hoping there will be more books added. Action, suspense, mystery, ghosts, power, death, and love are all included in this powerful story. I definitely recommend it to all romantic suspense and paranormal fantasy lovers.
