I know there are haters out there but... 
 This book was by far better than the first one. And I loved The Restorer. It was creepy, not too predictable, and what was predictable kind of felt like it was supposed to be. This a romance novel not a classic mystery, it's even written by an accomplished romance author. This book had all the right things to make me love it. Mystery, horror, ghosts, cemeteries, ancient evil, twisted small town hidden secrets and a couple of hot make out sessions. 
 I loved the town of Asher Falls that the author created with the great big rich Asher family who everyone either wants to be a part of or hate. The Asher's are full of hidden secrets, incest and betrayal. The fact that there is a cemetery under the water of the lake was a hidden perk for me. (Made even cooler for me because in my home town there are two under our lake cause when the damn was created it flooded part of the valley.) 
 Another nice thing was the shout out to how bad kennels that do dog baiting and fighting are. Nice to see awareness for that somewhere other than a billboard. 
 This book was full to the brim of fun historical graveyard facts including what placement of graves meant and what certain images on headstones meant. You can tell the author did a lot of research and this sort of thing is if not a major interest then a blossoming hobby. 
 My only complaint was the heroine spends a TON of time scared running through the woods... Kind of annoying.
