The Haunting of Beatrix Greene: Vol. 1 by Vicky Alvear Shecter, Rachel Hawkins, Ash Parsons
4.0
*ARC provided by publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
Beatrix Greene is known for being a sweet and discreet spiritual medium, one who refuses to give in to cheap gimmicks to get her clients money. Instead, she relies on her empathy to help them feel more at peace with losing their loved ones. When she is invited to stay a night at a supposedly haunted mansion and prove or disprove ghosts' existence during a seance, she finds herself in over her head with both real life and the afterlife.
This book was the perfect way to start the early Halloween season, and a great way to spend the afternoon or evening. (I personally would follow it up with a couple of episodes of Penny Dreadful to add to the Victorian experience.) The story is a little predictable, but still a very fun read, and I knew I would be up late reading once I got to the last 100 pages. I highly recommend it for readers of the genre, as it doesn't disappoint.
