Description

Spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the ghost assigned to her

 

Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago.  It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a living woman and a dead man fall in love.

Emily Chambers sees and talks with the dead during a period when seances were the rage among those of high social standing, and even esteemed scholars were speculating about the paranormal and occult. She's also a very young girl who's fallen in love for the first time, with a ghost whose tragic death is the center of a dangerous mystery. Bodices will be ripped.

What an amazing book! A very creative and compelling plot is combined with fully realized characters to yield a delicious experience one can only compulsively devour. I salute Archer's talent and recommend this work to anyone who prefers the story to the romantic interest. It only escapes her control briefly and then she's got it again, underlying everything but tightly in hand.
