The first book - The Restorer, I loved. The second book – The Kingdom, I could not get through quick enough. The third book, The Prophet, I kept putting it down and reading other books in its place. The book was slow and sluggish from the start and never picked up for me. The very end, and I mean the last 2 percent of the book, had a nice twist and it will be interesting to see where Amanda Stevens goes with this bit of information, but overall, the book did not hold the interest and suspense that the previous two had.
“Never acknowledge the dead, never stray far from hallowed ground, never associate with the haunted and never, ever tempt fate”. “To concede their presence was to invite them into my world forever.”
The Prophet twists back around to the first book and uses Detective Robert Freemont, also known as The Prophet as a jumpstart into yet another dark place. With Amelia back from Asher Falls, and the secrets about her own past revealed, she returns to Oak Grove Cemetery to finish the work that was started in book one.
“I wanted to believe there was a purpose to my life, a reason why I saw ghosts. It wasn’t just a dangerous legacy. I had been given a gift.”
From the first book, we know that Robert Freemont is dead and can appear at will in front of Amelia. He and Shani have found a way past Amelia’s safety borders. With this, Amelia is no longer safe, Mariama is determined to keep John Devlin out of Amelia’s life and Amelia is willing to disregard all of the rules that her father has raised her with. Now the moment of truth has come. Is Amelia strong enough to do battle on all fronts for the sake of Devlin? Can she stand up to Darius Goodwine and his gray dust?
“The stars have finally aligned. The players have all taken their places”
After finding out the truth about the deaths that have surrounded her, is Amelia resilient enough to go forward and in so doing, is she able to bring Devlin along with her?
Even though this is book 3 of a planned trilogy, I do wonder if Amanda Steven’s has yet another dark alley for the remaining characters to travel down. What did Devlin bring back and is it something that they can fight together?
Never bargain with the dead, they have nothing to lose.
