Violet Willoughby is the daughter of one of England's foremost mediums. With her mother in high demand, she follows her, assisting in her work as she puts the cream of society in touch with their dear departed. Of course, it's all fake. Violet has spent seven years helping her mother con the gullible into
It's not perfect – I felt the ending was somewhat rushed, and it seemed rather convenient that Rowena's ghost had quite so much trouble in pointing out her murderer – but this is clearly a significant step up from much of the paranormal teen fiction out there today and deserves to find lots of success in a rather crowded market.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Out For Blood by Alyxandra Harvey]].
Further reading suggestion: As I said, it '''is''' a rather crowded genre at the moment – some of my favourite recent paranormal reads include [[Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl|Beautiful Creatures]] and [[Beautiful Creatures: Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl|Beautiful Darkness]], both by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, and [[By Midnight by Mia James]].
