Received from NetGalley for review.

synopsis (Goodreads)

My name is Amelia Gray.

I am the Graveyard Queen, a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. My father passed down four rules to keep me safe and I've broken every last one. A door has opened and evil wants me back.

In order to protect myself, I've vowed to return to those rules. But the ghost of a murdered cop needs my help to find his killer. The clues lead me to the dark side of Charleston—where witchcraft, root doctors and black magic still flourish—and back to John Devlin, a haunted police detective I should only love from afar.Now I'm faced with a terrible choice: follow the rules or follow my heart

MY REVIEW

Book three in a series.

This book focuses on Amelia and John Devlin.  I read this book without the benefit of reading the first two in the series.  That's a mistake.  If you choose to read this book, and I encourage you to, pick up the first two and read them before attempting The Prophet.  I have since read both and then reread The Prophet, enjoying it much more.

A wonderfully written story.  Amelia is a great character.  Imagine, a Graveyard Queen!  And I just love the role of Devlin.

Oh, and ghosts!!!! I love reading about ghosts.

Upon finishing this book, I have several unanswered questions.  I look forward to the next book to find out what happens with Amelia and Devlin.
