As the only female resurrectionist in New York, she’s carved out a niche procuring bodies afflicted with the strangest of anomalies.

This is my first Lydia Kang novel,and I loved it. An intriguing combination of historical fiction, mystery & a bit of romance. Saskia Maarleveld’s talented voice work gave depth to each character. On to the next!

This book was a perfect break from my usual genre. The story flowed at a nice pace & I found the characters endearing. Narration was upbeat & fit the characters well. I’ll definitely be reading the next installments in this series & keeping an ear out for anything else narrated by Jennifer Darnell. Great job!

A bit too far?

This book had my mind so distorted I found myself actually rooting for a relationship built on pedophilia & statutory rape 😳 Kellen was presented as such a gentle, loving presence it was hard to dislike him. I had to stop at several points and reevaluate what was actually happening here. I did finish the book and still have very mixed feelings on it. I agree, the same message could’ve been conveyed with Wavy being older. However, it probably wouldn’t have triggered outrage amongst readers quite the way it did. The narration was beautiful & the characters well developed, but I’m just not sure a boundary wasn’t crossed here.
