Summary
There's not enough coffee or tacos in the world to deal with Darby Adler's family。
If it's not her death-dealing father， her back-from-the-dead mother， or her ghost grandfather， it's her long-lost siblings and their bid for power。
With the ABI radio silent and her siblings to find， Darby's got a major problem on her hands--especially when the local coven figures out that her father is no longer bound。
Can Haunted Peak， TN handle this family reunion？

This is a great third book that kept me guessing as well as totally interested in the story。 I totally enjoyed this story and the direction that it took the series in。 I loved it and I am absolutely looking forward to reading Dead Shift！I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

GoodBook three of the Grave Talker series ties it to the Soul Reader series， as Darby and Sloane come together for the first time。As a grave talker， Darby can absorb souls， as well as see and hear ghosts。 It’s a skill she inherited from her mother， whose dirty dealings seem to go a lot deeper than Darby ever realized。This is a gut wrenching addition to the series， with some big events coming to a head。Truths are revealed， and though not all the loose ends are yet tied up， most of them are。It’s a GoodBook three of the Grave Talker series ties it to the Soul Reader series， as Darby and Sloane come together for the first time。As a grave talker， Darby can absorb souls， as well as see and hear ghosts。 It’s a skill she inherited from her mother， whose dirty dealings seem to go a lot deeper than Darby ever realized。This is a gut wrenching addition to the series， with some big events coming to a head。Truths are revealed， and though not all the loose ends are yet tied up， most of them are。It’s a richly imagined world， with an interesting take on paranormal abilities， and characters that are able to make you laugh and cry equally。An entertaining read for the urban fantasy and paranormal enthusiast。 。。。more

The truth will set you free。。。 Not likely！Darby united with her family， what could go wrong。 Well developed characters and a story that is fast and furious。

Oh， I love that Darby and Sloane finally got to meet in this story。 I had a feeling at the end Dead and Gone that they would。 I couldn’t be more pleased。They make a totally kick butt pair。 Once I started I could not put their book down。 Now I’m dying for the next one。If you love action， suspense with a bit of family drama and strong heroines then you should definitely give this story a try。

Every time I think Annie can’t too the last book， she proves me wrong。 This work just keeps getting better and better。 I absolutely love Darby and her gang of misfits。 This book was action packed from start to finish and I couldn’t put it down。 Absolutely recommend both series in this amazing world。

This was a gripping addition to an already fantastic series。 And there were the "bonus characters" that was awesomely unexpected。 If you read any of Annie's other books you will know who they are！ It really ties the 2 series together in a FABULOUS way。 Now I am anxious to see what happens in the other series！ There are soooo many possibilities and my mind is blown。 OMG I can't say enough and yet I can't because of spoilers！ WOW I just love how this is unfolding， practically jumping up and down i This was a gripping addition to an already fantastic series。 And there were the "bonus characters" that was awesomely unexpected。 If you read any of Annie's other books you will know who they are！ It really ties the 2 series together in a FABULOUS way。 Now I am anxious to see what happens in the other series！ There are soooo many possibilities and my mind is blown。 OMG I can't say enough and yet I can't because of spoilers！ WOW I just love how this is unfolding， practically jumping up and down in my chair！ 。。。more

I really like the way that each story so far in this series is going from one sisters point of view to another。That way you really seem to see things from all sides。Darby at least is still alive compared to her dead sister。But at least having her dead grandfather hanging around chatting to her all the time doesn't seem to cramp her style。He's not the only ghost she can see though， which not always a good thing。 It can help her close a few cases for work a bit faster at times。In this one her mum I really like the way that each story so far in this series is going from one sisters point of view to another。That way you really seem to see things from all sides。Darby at least is still alive compared to her dead sister。But at least having her dead grandfather hanging around chatting to her all the time doesn't seem to cramp her style。He's not the only ghost she can see though， which not always a good thing。 It can help her close a few cases for work a bit faster at times。In this one her mum is making her life miserable， that is when her dad isn't。She just can't seem to win， until the end where it matters the most， but wow does she go through hell to get there in the end。So really hope that there's another one to come。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

I love this series and this book was just as good as the last one。 It had it all - Murder， danger， mystery， suspense， secrets and discovery。 And Darby being snarky as usual with all her friend and enemies present and causing trouble as usual。 It made me laugh and I was hooked from the beginning and entertained to the end。 All my favorites showed up too to join in the fun。 I read it in one sitting as I could not put it down。 Only bad part was that it came to an end as I wanted more。

In all of Annie's books there is that moment when you finally get to see the bad guy or who you believe is the bad guy and when I tell you I wasn't ready for this betrayal I'm not exaggerating。 The level of pain that's heaped upon Darby had my eyes leaking。 I couldn't breathe。 The second hand pain was real。 To say you've outdone yourself Mrs。 Anderson is an understatement。 Our fearless character was brought to her knees。Now don't be put off， Darby still kicks a lot of A in this book。 She is also In all of Annie's books there is that moment when you finally get to see the bad guy or who you believe is the bad guy and when I tell you I wasn't ready for this betrayal I'm not exaggerating。 The level of pain that's heaped upon Darby had my eyes leaking。 I couldn't breathe。 The second hand pain was real。 To say you've outdone yourself Mrs。 Anderson is an understatement。 Our fearless character was brought to her knees。Now don't be put off， Darby still kicks a lot of A in this book。 She is also surrounded by a support system that is in real life goals。 Bishop has his girls back。 We also see J and J in all their sweetness and bloody glory。 I can’t get enough of the characters in this world。 I feel nothing， but blessed right now that I have this in my mitts。 I don’t know how you do it。 Every book is better than the last。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
