A dark, twisting, paranormal extreme! 

Holy cow!  What did I just read?  The events really kept me turning pages.  Although an extremely creepy story, Margaret had a heart of gold.  

A must read for Halloween Season!!

I loved the family support.

Some of the character's actions got on my nerves.

Agatha Christie meets The Twilight Zone.

This book #2 was just as great as the first, although in my experience, that is very seldom the case.  Introducing new characters, the twists just kept happening.

You will not be disappointed reading this.

Steampunk Horror.  Don't miss out on this excellent read.

Normally not my genre, but the description peaked my interest.  The magical elements really worked well, for me.  

The characters were many, but you get to know each one.  Isabeau and Evie were such a great team.

I have already picked up Book #2.

For once, I'm happy with an ending of a fantasy book!

I felt like it was wrapped up with a bow.
