Overall, I have really enjoyed this series. There have been a couple of stories that have a little underwhelming, but this one, thankfully, was not. I really enjoyed the story. 
 The mystery was really solid with a number of suspects. It definitely kept me guessing as to the identity of the killer. It really wasn't until the killer was just about to be revealed that I was pretty sure who it was and I love that in a book. I also enjoyed the pirate theme. Who doesn't like a story with a lots of pirates and intrigue? 
 I think that Malachi is one of my favorite characters in this series. He's kind of a smart-alec and he made me laugh. His attraction to Abby was pretty quick, but it felt right. The one thing I would have loved to see was the two ghosts meet in the end. Another great addition to the series. I'm looking forward to reading The Night is Forever soon!
