I am eagerly awaiting:

The Prophet

(The Graveyard Queen Series #3)

by Amanda Stevens

UK Publication Date: April 24th 2012

UK Publisher: Mira

Summary (courtesy of netGalley):

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.

Why I want to read this:

I've been revving about this series since I read the prequel story The Abandoned and with every book the story gets twistier, scarier and more intense. 

The Restorer introduced us to Amelia, her world of graveyards and the rules that keep her safe from the dead. And the one person that makes her abandon those rules: Devlin. 

In The Kingdom the story took us to another town and away from Devlin, but we learn more about Amelia's family background and ancestry. Tightly kept secrets that have been kept all around her start to unravel and threaten to pull her into a fatal conspiracy. The book ends with a text message from Devlin: "I need you."

So yeah, guess why I want to read this! :P
