LOved this book! I just posted all 3 in the series.. all were good.. I think the 2nd and 3rd are better than the 1st but all are good.. worth reading! they are listed as young adult but I dont really see why.. they would appeal to any age.. and How miss bray writes really takes you back to the era.. I almost felt as though I was watching it all happening before me.. the book is very descriptive of the time and area, and she really makes you feel like you almost know of the subjects in the book.. so if you like books on the paranormal, magic, witches and that type of thing.. then read this book... I like all types of fantasy and horror and even some sci fi books and this one Id list as fantasy but more of a "our world at that time".. like it really could have happened .... its not another world but out world in the early 1900's I like it when a book takes up to our own world and shows how hey... there really could be things we dont know about out there and these girls ran across one of those things.....lol I wont rewrite the book jacket as you can read that in the book description.. I just want to say worth the read.. its not boring at all, and as the book go on gets even more exciting.. like a mystery and suspense rolled into a paranormal book ... each book is better than the one before it.. I hope she writes even more!
