|summary=There's something unsavoury in the Tennessee River as Eden Moore returns for her scariest outing yet. Fast paced and frightening with a wry sense of humour… and zombies! Excellent stuff in a 'less predictable Scoobydoo for adults' kind of way.

A year has passed since medium Eden Moore's brush with the [[Eden Moore: - Wings of to the Kingdom by Cherie Priest|ghostly battlefields]] and she's certainly come a long way since the [[Eden Moore – Four and Twenty Blackbirds by Cherie Priest|first time]] we encountered her. She's learnt a lot from media celebrity Dana Marshall, is nearly 25 and has decided it's time to move out of Aunt Lu and Uncle David's place. She even has her eye on an apartment in a downtown block by the river. However, some things don't change. The Read House is being renovated to combine a hotel and Starbucks but one room remains untouched due to paranormal activity. Eden's TV journalist friend Nick calls her in to communicate with the ghost, a young girl who isn't satisfied with scary noises and shifting ornaments. Within moments of entering Eden is trapped as the phantom attempts to tear her limb from limb mumbling about how 'they' are coming for her. Who are 'they'? Why are people disappearing near the river? Chattanooga will soon find out as it's about to flood and in the mud something stirs.
Genre defying author [[:Category:Cherie Priest|Cherie Priest]] treats us to the third and final Eden Moore book 5 years after its US release. Are we downhearted? Not a bit of it; this has been well worth the wait. We're shoved into the action from the beginning so fiercely that the only assurance of Eden's survival is that there's still 300 pages to go. This is the white knuckle ride that makes ''Not Flesh Nor Feathers'' the best of a brilliant bunch.
