Esprit de Corpse by Ef Deal – Review by Kerry Carr

Esprit de Corpse by Ef Deal
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this historical paranormal story. The author really took me by surprise with this book as I started to think it was just a historical story but there is so much more to it than that. The author has done a great job of researching which brings 1840s France to life in wonderful detail. This was a really unique read and I loved how historical and paranormal mixed together.

This is a story of two young women who come across a metal man after it runs into their locomotive. Jacqueline Duval is a very gifted engineer and when she see this creation she is amazing and wants to discover how it works but there is something else about this metal machine something mystical that also needs to be uncovered.
With the help of her twin sister they set out to discover who is creating these mechanical men and for what purpose. What the sisters uncover leads us into a world where secrets are everywhere and things aren’t what they seem. Can the sisters figure out what is happening before its too late and a war breaks out? And what dangers will the sisters get themselves into buy trying to uncover this mystery?
I really enjoyed this story and I couldn’t put it down. The writing and the characters were so engaging I had to read on to see what the sisters discovered.
