Whispering Dead | Darcy Coates
24 posts | 20 read | 22 to read
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.Also By Darcy Coates: The Haunting of Ashburn HouseThe Haunting of Blackwood HouseCraven ManorThe House Next DoorVoices in the Snow

My second full book finished for #Scarathlon and the fourth for #RIP. Though it was good, it wasn't good enough for me to continue the series. Total points = 90 for 7 hours of listening time plus 20 for being a spooky/autumn-themed book. #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall

I've been going back and forth on my thoughts and what I'd rate The Whispering Dead. I'm going to say middle of the road read. I thought it was going to be kind of scary but it wasn't. It does involve ghosts in the graveyard and a MC that has amnesia. I wish a couple of things brought up were explained more in the book. It almost felt like the first 1/4 was a different book then the rest of it. Of course now I'll have to continue the series

This was great. A quick and somewhat creepy read but I was left with a lot of questions. Like a LOT of questions. Looks like I have another series to continue #ReaderProblems

Fun little ghost story to get me through having COVID. A little spooky, fun characters, and apparently it‘s a series.

Reggie Yeah, by the end, I was wondering if we just forgot that the main character didn‘t have a clue who she was or who the men that came to the church asking about her were? Lol 2y
Lauranahe I was disappointed we didn‘t find out who she is. I‘m not sure if it was so good I‘d keep reading the series to find out tho. 🤷‍♀️ 2y

Keira is being hunted. Somehow she escapes & finds refuge in a cottage surrounded by a graveyard. A graveyard filled with ghosts.Ghosts who need her help.
I'm confused by the lack of cohesion, after the 1st day Keira being HUNTED is ignored & the rest of the book is spent solving a murder. This is the start of a new series & there will prob be answers to the big questions in the future but it why would something so important would be abandoned?

Reggie Omg, the part that annoyed me the most was finding out one of her powers was being around something and sensing what happened there. So we think the murder might have happened different. Nah, it‘s the same as we thought just you know, she can do it. Lol totally agree with your review. 3y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a fun read - ghosts, mysteries, and a quirky town. A bit more cozy than horror, but I‘m okay with that. This is an author I‘d be happy to read again! I loved ending this round of #LMPBC with #GroupW and this selection!

BookwormAHN This was a great round 👻 3y

This was a quick read about a girl with no memory but who can talk to ghosts. It actually reads a little more like a cozy than horror, interested in seeing where this series goes.
#LMPBC @MaleficentBookDragon @Reggie @JackOBotts I'll mail this to you soon.

I just want to say that if you as a ghost send a mist that attempts to choke me out, you have lost all my efforts to solve your murder. Lol Happy Saturday Reading, Littens!

Reggie @AmyG @Ruthiella @Bookzombie @Cathythoughts Lol, yeah so I‘ll never pick up a Coates to read but if somebody picks her for a group to read I won‘t say no. I just finished it and kinda want to throw tomatoes at it. It was alright. 3y
Bookzombie I read this one last year. I thought it was fun and reading it alone, late at night, gave me a little scare, but you could probably call it horror candy. 3y
NikkiM5 😂 agreed. So many other ways to ask for help 😂 3y
merelybookish I don't understand this review at all.but still enjoy it. 😁 3y
Reggie @merelybookish it‘s not really a review, just an airing of frustrations. LIKE imagine being told a mc is psychic and at certain locations can see what has gone on before. Then the mc is told about a murder that is central to the plot. Then she goes to the exact location and sees the same exact story we the audience were told the first time. What‘s so exciting about being the psychic if there arentany different details. Know what I mean? Grrrr. Lol (edited) 3y
vivastory I've been curious about Coates, but not enough to read her yet 😂 3y
Reggie @vivastory Let me save you some time and frustration. Don‘t, lol. Don‘t do it. 3y

An easy paranormal thriller read. I like Darcy Coates as an author. Her books are always interesting enough to keep me reading & quick enough to get me out of a slump. I always think Coates does a good job of interjecting humor & snark into her characters that is easily relatable & adds to their likeability. Zoe was my favorite character. Her in your face personality was more engaging than Keira. Plus, any book with a black cat is a winner.

If no one has read it, would you all be interested in switching to this book I got at BAM today for #LMPBC? Hades thinks it is a good idea.
If not, we‘ll stick with The Ghost Writer, no biggie.

(I‘ll still pass along The Ghost Writer if we go with this book.)

BookwormAHN I'm always good with a new Darcy Coates book. 3y

Started it last night. It‘s quite creepy so far. I have a theory but idk if it‘s gonna be true or not.
