Description: Violet
is a 16 year old girl forced to help her wicked mom who is a fraudulent medium.

meets the ghost of a girl who died one year ago and starts to investigate her
murder with the help of her friends.
In Short: This
book is a wonderful blend of genres. A young adult book set in Victoria Era
England with a supernatural themed plot driven by romance and a murder mystery.
This book sucks you into its world and the imagery gives you the feel of
watching a spooky movie with brilliant special effects. This book is a unique
and fun read!
Pros: I love the
way the book is written. It is narrated by the main character who is funny and
clever and is always saying and thinking witty things. I thought the main
character was very likable. I really enjoyed that she was the one to solve the
mystery and she didn't need a love interest to save her. Because of the way things are worded you can clearly picture them. The ghostly scenes are creative and scary. The romance elements were natural and believable.
The book is really well paced and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the entire
thing.
Cons: This isn't really so much of a criticism but this book had a lot of big words that I didn't know (like laudanum and flibbertigibbet). Luckily reading this on my
kindle app on my iPad means I can just poke the word for a dictionary
definition. So on the plus side I learned a few new words. The only bad part of
that was if you don’t have a dictionary handy a lot of times the sentence the
words were in didn't give you any clues to their meanings so you might feel
like you are missing out.
