Although I'm not exactly drawn to cemeteries like Amelia was, I find them peaceful and a little sad. The idea that a simple gravestone contains someone's whole life story... Anyway, I digress. 
 For the story, it is mostly surrounded by an aura of mysterious nostalgia with a hint of a haunting undercurrent. Some of the descriptions in the book are so vivid that I've got goosebumps on my arms. Creeeeeeepy... 
 The whole theme of the book is absolutely refreshing: Ghosts and other 'creatures of the night' are way too common in the paranormal genre these days, yet the author manages to dig up a whole new (not to mention, really cool) angle: a grave restorer. The story flows along really smoothly and the first person POV helps deepens the plot as both the heroine and the readers try to figure out what is going on with all those murders and most importantly, who is the evil mastermind. 
 All of the above definitely deserve five stars. However, there's just one small flaw. I find Devlin a little too mysterious to my liking. That man is so complex that I'd like to peep into his mind sometimes... It would be simply great if Stevens can treat her readers a short bonus story from Devlin's POV! 
 The Restorer is a hauntingly good read that keeps you begging for more!
