Wow. what an amazing book. The first book of a series with a name like The Graveyard Queen, how can you not be intrigued.
This book captivated me from the very beginning. Amanda Stevens descriptions of the Lowcountry and Southerners like the Gullah, her ability to turn a sunset and the fragrance of flowers into something mystical and otherworldly is stunning. Her characters were ones I couldn't help falling in love with. Her writing so deliberate and her plots so intense that I had to actually slow myself down when I was reading. I didn't want to devour this book in one sitting, I wanted this book to never end and I took my time getting to the inevitable.
I can't wait for book 2 to come out.
