The events start immediately after the first book, but the story is a standalone. The bridge between books 1 and 2 gives an idea of Mary's abilities and the other characters in the upcoming books, a well-written short story. It helps to read the first book because it gives an in-depth view of Mary and Hartwell and their interaction so readers can have a better understanding of the featured characters.

Mixed feelings on this book. On one hand, I read it and enjoyed it overall. On the other hand, there were elements that I felt were underdeveloped and required you to make a leap of faith. The characters seemed to behave immaturely and irrationally in several instances and I found myself struggling to determine if there was some context missing that would make it feel more natural. I felt the same about how easily Miss Trentwood slipped into a routine in which she accepted the haunting by her father as a ghost. This isn't a true fantasy story where you immediately take the leap of faith. It's more of a historical romance novel, so I feel some extra help would have been beneficial to set the stage and bring the reader along on the fantasy ride.

But I love to support indie authors and hope to read more by Ms. Kroll.… (altro)
