I love Amanda Stevens' writing. It's creepy, dark, but most importantly, it's believable. Believability, even in supernatural books, is so important. 
 The Visitor is the fourth installment in the Graveyard Queen series, which follows the life and discoveries of a very interesting woman who restores graveyards for a living. And, if that isn't enough to entice you, she sees ghosts, too. 
 Amelia's story arc is wide and fascinating, throughout all the novels thus far, but I think she does the most growing in this one. More of her history is coming out, through various, sometimes otherworldly means, and it's a history she must process to save herself. 
 Her relationship to Devlin has progressed, and yet regressed at the same time. Inexplicable passion draws them to each other, despite her own reservations and gifts, despite his connections to the Charleston elite (and dangerous), and yet they may as well be strangers who sleep with each other. I didn't feel as connected to them as a couple in The Visitor as I did in the previous novels; Devlin has become more of a mystery to me (and Amelia), but I didn't particularly care one way or the other about his presence in her story. I'm not sure if Stevens meant to do this as a set up for The Sinner, but I'm still eager to find out where their story goes, especially with the way The Visitor ended! 
 Amelia's past is truly brought to light in The Visitor as well. Stevens cements herself as a masterful storyteller, setting up Amelia's history in previous books, giving us just enough to say, "Oh yeah!" when you connect the dots. Keyholes in eyes, dopplegangers, caulbearers...I just had a lot of fun as Stevens pulled in details from previous Graveyard Queen books to flesh out this one. 
 Such a great story and series, and I'm on to the next!
