Description

A little girl, who dies playing "Ghost in the Graveyard" comes back from death to haunt her friends. But why?

Haunted by her past, Sally Sullivan returns home 10 years after little Martha's death seeking to uncover the mysteries of her childhood, which include Martha's "accident", her Mother's disappearance, and the baby her family has suddenly been entrusted with.

Although she seeks a "normal" life back in her hometown of Mount Moriah, the ghosts of her past still linger... figuratively and literally. The "mean girls" who still blame her for Martha's death, the cute boy who always stood by her, the secrets of her family still hidden somewhere out there. As Sally struggles to discover her true identity her family and friends struggle with their desire to protect her and her need to know the truth.

And as Sally gets closer and closer to the truth, forces beyond her comprehension come to bare against her. The answers will be beyond anything she can ever imagine and her story just begins with her discovery of the truth.

A little girl, who dies playing "Ghost in the Graveyard" comes back from death to haunt her friends. But why?

Haunted by her past, Sally Sullivan returns home 10 years after little Martha's death...

Ghost in the Graveyard is one of those books you don’t want to read in the dark of night. Intense and definitely scary this is one of those books best read with all the lights on.

As I received this ARC I have come to realize there is also a movie on Amazon about this book. Wow, definitely an added bonus for those people that need that visual aspect of the storyline.

Highly recommend this book for anyone who likes a good scary ghost story.

A brilliant spooky read, with lots of twists and turns in the
book to keep turning that page.
I loved the witches and the demons and the how the story deepened with Zoe and her mother......It would of been nice to find out more of that but maybe that will be in the next books?!
This was a curled up on the sofa read some in a complete day, and which I thoroughly enjoyed. Maybe it could of been a bit scarier, but it was a fantastic book and I’m really looking forward to the next books!

A group of children are getting ready to play in a cemetery. They decide to play “ghost in the graveyard.” It’s a blend of two games, one known as hide and seek and tag. However there is an accident with one of the children. A little girl named Martha falls into a grave and is killed. Ten years later, Sally was on her way home when she thought she saw Martha. All those children are grown up now and in their final year of high school. A different group of children want to take a shortcut through the cemetery, even though legend says the ghost of Martha haunts the cemetery. The bicyclist crashes his bike due to seeing Martha. He is killed. His death is investigated. While the police investigates the death of the boy, someone with bare feet dragged the boy’s body to a mausoleum and violate it. An arm comes out from under the bed with a box and gives it to Sally. What’s in the box? The community suspects that it’s her fault the boy died as she had just came home after being gone 10 years. People are being weird toward Sally. Why? Sally is seeing Martha’s ghost which tries to communicate with Sally but Sally can’t hear her. What will Sally do?

This is a fast reading book. It’s a horror, paranormal mystery book that held my attention. Some of the questions I had about Sally weren’t answered. I enjoyed the plot. It appears to be the first book of a trilogy. Hopefully I will get to read the other two books and get my answers.

A different, unique thriller that reads as if someone is describing their nightmares. The story builds from the first as Charlie Comparetto builds the back story, describing the town history and showing us how the people, both good and bad, make it impossible to solve the first crime. Then jump forward where our main characters must now face the consequences of that long ago act. a spooky, unsettling read that will keep your attention.
