Natasha Mostert

Another great paranormal romance from Natasha Mostert. As with the other books of hers I've read, this one really gets you into the world of the characters and certainly makes you think. This one was a bit different as the paranormal aspects weren't quite as overt, but they were definitely central to the story.

I did find these characters a bit harder to connect with than in some of Mostert's other books, but there was definitely a different tone to this one that I think made it work. Since the main characters themselves struggle with finding a true connection with other people, it almost adds a layer to the narrative that it is easier to connect to the secondary characters and their stories than Justine and Adam.

Definitely an enjoyable read and I find it worthy of recommendation.

When Isa gets a late night cryptic phone call from her cousin, Alette, she is surprised to learn later that the phone call was made after Alette has already died. Swept off to London to handle her cousin's affairs, she finds herself caught up in a plan laid out in Alette's will - one that she finds a bit difficult to carry out. But she shortly learns there was much more to her cousin and her cousin's life - and death - than she'd imagined.

I recently read Natasha Mostert's Season of the Witch, which I very much enjoyed, and I wasn't too surprised to find this book just as enjoyable. Mostert has quite a skill for crafting a mystery/suspense novel with paranormal elements and romantic overtones, and it's very easy to get caught up in her books. I definitely recommend this to those interested in any one or more of those qualities because I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
