My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alice in wonderland meets Sherlock Holmes. This was such an enjoyable read.

Evaline’s mothers death has left her with questions. Just when she seems to be getting somewhere, a guest comes calling to seek magical assistance from Evaline’s father, an occult archaeologist. When he declines, Evaline’s curiosity gets the better of her. With her necromancy gift and detective skills, she finds herself on a mission in a mirror world – solve the mystery and get back home!

Evaline’s sassy and passionate personality made this book for me! The relationship with her childhood friend, Delbert, was adorable and Evaline’s determination to refine her skills to become a detective was refreshing, considering the setting in the late 1800’s.
The quirky characters we meet were a great addition to the story.

The pacing was good. I would have enjoyed more detail, especially about Evaline’s magic and the mirror world. This didn’t stop me having a great time.

The ending has me sitting on the edge on my seat for book 2!! Am looking forward to picking it up – this reader needs answers!

A great choice if you love a leading lady with some sass and enjoy a bit of mystery and magic!
