Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard
3.0
This was cute. I wish it could have been scarier, because historical paranormal fiction is my FAAAVORITE thing in the world, especially when it's good and nightmare-inducing! But it was still good. Maybe the next two will be scarier.
I thought Eleanor's reactions were pretty dramatic and over the top. Examples:
"My stomach flipped. It punched the breath from my lungs. I toppled forward, grasping for the table." -p. 64
"Then another horrifying realization hit. I staggered to the front door and heaved it open, gaping for air and leaning against the frame for support." -p. 104
Just annoying and over the top.
Also, it annoyed me that Daniel called Eleanor Empress. I don't even know why, but it just seemed dumb.
