About
the book:
As
a member of the Order of the Round Table, Kendall Lake is overqualified to be
investigating strange phenomena at a seaside photography studio. But since the
photographer is related to the Order's most powerful sorcerer, Kendall
reluctantly boards a dirigible to Brighton.
Amy Deland is haunted by a shadow
that appears in some of her recent portraits. In each case, the subject died
within days of the sitting. Does she have her grandmother's gift of foresight,
or has she somehow caused the deaths?
As Kendall and Amy search for answers, their investigation draws
them together in a most improper way - but it seems the evil presence in the
studio is determined to keep them apart...
I
loved this story! It was swift and sweet and it had just the right amount of Steampunk
for me. I prefer my stories not to be bogged down with heavy, dark details. The
descriptions used were just the right amount to paint the world. I was so happy
to see characters from the first story and catch up with their lives. This
author creates the most endearing cast and Amy and Kendall are no exception.
Kendall is so stoic until he meets Amy and she turns his already upside down
life even further on its head. Amy is a wonderful heroine, independent and
intelligent as well as creative and open-minded. I loved the details concerning
her photography practice and the setting was fabulous because really, who
doesn't love the beach? I've already got the next in the series loaded on my
reader and I cannot wait to read it!
