Synopsis:A supernatural romance about the powers that lie in the shadows of the mind, perfect for fans of Sarah Rees Brennan, Alyxandra Harvey, and Libba Bray.My Thoughts:
At the turn of the twentieth century, Spiritualism and séances are all the rage—even in the scholarly town of Cambridge, England. While mediums dupe the grief-stricken, a group of local fringe scientists seeks to bridge the gap to the spirit world by investigating the dark corners of the human mind.
Each running from a shadowed past, Kate, Asher, and Elsie take refuge within the walls of Summerfield College. But their peace is soon shattered by the discovery of a dead body nearby. Is this the work of a flesh-and-blood villain, or is something otherworldly at play? This unlikely trio must illuminate what the scientists have not, and open a window to secrets taken to the grave—or risk joining the spirit world themselves.
You had me at Sarah Rees Brennan! Sarah is one of my favorite authors and any blurb that mentions her is going to get my notice. Add in a seances, a creepy college, and bridging the gap between this world and the beyond and you have my attention. I am now not so patiently waiting on The Dark Between!
Great pick! I agree with the Sarah Rees Brennan comment haha. Normally I'm not a big dark/creepy ghost genre kinda of person but this one sounds really interesting! The cover's nice and spooky too!
