The Meduim

Emily is a well know Medium in the 1800's. She lives with her sister Celia and they conduct seances for those who wish to communicate with loved ones. Celia unwittingly releases a demon who is set free to kill innocent people. Jacob Beaufort is a ghost. He is sent to help Emily find the demon and sent it back from whence it came. Jacob isn't like other ghosts Emily has dealt with. He is much more, shall we say, solid. And handsome. Did I mention handsome. Emily and Jacob must figure out who is controlling the demon and then find a way to send it back. Over the course of their adventures, they (of course) develop feelings for each other. But what kind of result will there be if one of you is a ghost? Jacob doesn't know how he died or where his body is and Emily wants to help him figure this out (all while hunting a demon) but she knows once she does, Jacob will cross over and be lost to her. This was a fun ghost story with some highly shady characters. But Emily is a fierce girl in a time where fierce girls were not accepted or acceptable. She just doesn't care. So I'm hopeful in the next book or two, she uses that fierceness to help Jacob. I do suspect that Jacob may not be lost to the mortal world forever, but that is just a guess using my foreshadowing skills. My students would be proud. Beware people selling lockets, you never know what they may hold. Happy reading my friends!
