Esprit de Corpse by Ef Deal – Review by Netania Lim

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

This is a fun quick read, a paranormal steampunk that clearly draws on Dracula with strong female characters. The world-building is quite something in terms of its depth of research and lush descriptions. Although it has its unrealistic moments, it’s undoubtedly a page-turner that makes me want to forgive the author anyway. And I do love anything set in Paris, and in the Underground and with a period setting? Sign me up (hello, Les Mis). The characters too are compelling and completely inhabit the world. This novel was full of surprises that kept me going. Highly recommend.
