SYNOPSIS
 
Over a century past, a wily young pauper wins the hearts of a childless couple of ancient nobility, and a place in one of the most prestigious families in London. The sole heir to the Grenshall family legacy, Iris ‘Tally’ Grenshall fights to protect her family from the machinations of an evil woman, but discovers her adversary presents a threat much greater than she ever imagined…

The victim of a brutal attack, Rose remembers one thing: a long-dead woman giving her an impossible task. She knows only the price of failure as she sets out to retrieve a deadly talisman, with the aid of new friends and powers over the living and the dead. As the body count rises, Rose’s quest grows desperate—with London itself in jeopardy.

Rose and Tally share fates intertwined. Rose must discover how before the secrets of the past destroy her, her friends, and all of London.




REVIEW


I am kind of in two minds about how I feel about this book. Although the positives far out-weigh the negatives.

It was an exciting read with very interesting phenomena and paranormal elements that drew me in. Smith has a remarkable talent of creating vivid scenes, and I loved the imagination that brought to life the many different characters. They were unlike any I have ever read about, and their uniqueness only added to my fervor to know more about them. The story shifted between past and present, and each shift brought with it a little more insight into exactly what was going on. It raised many questions, which kept me reading because I had to know the answers. However, even when I thought I knew those answers, a twist in the plot would make me question everything all over again.

The story became a little confusing from time to time. Because of the many shifts between time, character POV, and the living and spirit worlds, I felt a little overwhelmed with information. This made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story, and I wasn't able to connect with any character on an emotional level.

  I still very much enjoyed reading this book. It fueled my love for mystery novels, especially those with a paranormal twist. It is a fantastic paranormal mystery that will take it's readers on a dark, chilling ride into the occult.
