Calexa Rose Dunhill is in hiding, staying among the graves in the Dunhill
Cemetery as she tries to stay safe and regain her lost memory. Who
tried to kill her and are they coming back after her? Meanwhile,
Calexa's brush with death has left her with an unexpected gift (or
curse) as she can both see and communicate with spirits. Now
someone is searching for her... will Calexa uncover the secrets of her
past in time to save her own life?
Part of the fun of any graphic novel is seeing the illustrator's gift at
matching the storyline with the visual images. HAUNTED does this beautifully as the imagery
manages to create an eerie but not overly creepy atmosphere that
permeates the entire storyline. Geraldo Borges has created a new fan
with his stunning images.
Calexa is an interesting main character with her unusual gift and her
mysterious background. However, I appreciate even more so the
kindness of the strangers (who later become friends) who assist her
despite not knowing much about her other than she steals food to
survive. Lucinda won me over in the prior book but in HAUNTED it's Mr. Kelner who stands
out above all the other characters.
HAUNTED is the stunning
conclusion to the Cemetery Girl trilogy featuring the gifted writing
talents of Charlaine Harris and Christopher Golden. Quite honestly, it
was the strength of the writing duo that drew me to this series but the
quality of the artwork is what kept me engaged throughout the series!
And oh what a series this has been! I highly suggest reading all three
stories in order to get the full impact of the storyline.
They call her the Ghost of Dunhill Cemetery, but most people
think \"the Cemetery Girl\" is just a story. In some ways,
that\'s true. Her chosen name is Calexa Rose Dunhill, but
she doesn\'t know her real name. When she first arrived
here, all she knew was that someone had tried to murder her,
dumped her body, and left her for dead.
Calexa has
been hiding out, afraid to seek out her true identity in
fear that her would-be murderer would find her and finish
the job. And someone is searching for her... a man named
Salazar, who holds the key that will unlock the secrets of
Calexa\'s past. Calexa has new secrets as well-including the
fact that she was murdered... she did die, if only for a
moment. And in that moment, something changed inside
her.
Now, if someone dies near her, their spirit is
drawn to Calexa, drawn into her. It has happened twice
before, but now-as her worst fears come true and there are
killers on her trail-the third ghost to take up residence in
Calexa\'s soul will change everything, and bring the
Cemetery Girl trilogy to its shocking conclusion!
