5.0

I have read several Simone St. James books and while this one does have murder and the supernatural it is a slower pace and less intense. I think it could also fall under historical fiction which influenced the pace and intensity from her other more modern stories. I happen to enjoy all those things and found this to be an excellent story. If you’re looking for high intensity and a quick pace there are other Simone St. James books you may enjoy more.
