Ever since Disney’s Princess and the Frog I’ve loved the 1920s combined with occult because who didn't enjoy Friends on the Other Side. This book has proven worthy of 578 pages worth of words with flapper references, occult signs, and magical powers it promises to it’s readers. Also it has cults which I love to see implemented in books. Who doesn’t enjoy a crazy cult?
Flamboyant Evie O’Neill is sent to her uncle in New York City after she has shamed hometowns golden boy by revealing his darkest secret with her power to take memories from objects. Soon after she arrives the Madman of Manhattan starts his killing streak that cause Evie’s uncle to be called in to help with the investigation as it is heavy in the occult signs. Evie’s power to reveal the hidden, might be the thing that solves this string of murders with the help of her friends and the secrets they hold.
I originally picked up this book to be a buffer book between books and for a time it was but once you got past a certain point you were lost and there was no hope of putting it down. Evie is strong but kind and once she starts to warm up to her environment she shows you her true colors and you practically get a character makeover. She has weaknesses; she acknowledges them and overpowers them. This is the kind of heroine every book should have.
It ended up being better than my original opinion of it scoring 4 out of 5 stars
