I received the Graveyard Queen series by Amanda Stevens from a friend and the first book, The Restorer, did not disappoint. Here's a teaser from about 3/4 of the way in:

The shock knocked the flashlight out of my hand and I heard the glass shatter against the hard floor of the chamber.

"What was that?" Devlin asked in alarm.

Before I could respond, the bricks below me gave way and I went tumbling after the flashlight.

Never acknowledge the dead.

Never stray far from hallowed ground.

Never get close to the haunted.

Never, ever tempt fate.


My name is Amelia Gray. I'm a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I've always held fast to these rules passed down from my father . . . until now.

Detective John Devlin needs my help to find a killer, but he is haunted by ghosts who shadow his every move. To warn him would be to invite them into my life. I've vowed to keep my distance, but the pull of his magnetism grows ever stronger even as the headstone symbols lead me closer to truth and to the gossamer veil that separates this world from the next.
