Resumen del Editor
Amelia Matthew has done the all-but-impossible, especially for an orphan in Gilded Age New York City. Along with her foster brother Jonas, she has parlayed her modest psychic talent into a safe and comfortable life. But safety and comfort vanish when a head injury leaves her with a dramatically-expanded gift.
After she publicly channels an angry spirit, she finds herself imprisoned in the notorious insane asylum on Blackwell’s Island. As Jonas searches for a way to free her, Amelia struggles to control her disturbing new abilities and survive a place where cruelty and despair threaten her sanity. Andrew Cavanaugh is familiar with despair. In the wake of a devastating loss, he abandons a promising medical career - and his place in Philadelphia society - to devote himself to the study and treatment of mental disease. Miss Amelia Matthew is just another patient - until she channels a spirit in front of him and proves her gift is real.
When a distraught mother comes to Andrew searching for her missing daughter - a daughter she believes is being hidden at the asylum - he turns to Amelia. Together, they uncover evidence of a deadly conspiracy, and then it’s no longer just Amelia’s sanity and freedom at stake. Amelia must master her gift and use it to catch a killer - or risk becoming the next victim.

At Montverre, an ancient and elite academy hidden high in the mountains, society's best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu—the great game—an arcane and mysterious competition that combines music, art, math, poetry, and philosophy. Léo Martin once excelled at Monteverre, but lost his passion for scholarly pursuits after a violent tragedy. He turned to politics instead, and became a rising star in the ruling party, until a small act of conscience cost him his career. Now, he has been exiled back to Monteverre, his fate uncertain.

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius who uses the gift of deduction and reason to solve the most vexing of crimes. Warlock Holmes, however, is an idiot. A good man, perhaps; a font of arcane power, certainly. But he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag. The only things he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart flatmate. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety...

Okay, so jogging through Central Park after midnight wasn't a bright idea. But Margrit Knight never thought she'd encounter a dark new world filled with magical beings, not to mention a dying woman and a mysterious stranger with blood on his hands. Her logical, lawyer instincts told her it couldn't all be real, but she could hardly deny what she'd seen...and touched.

Pretty good.
I was looking for other books this narrator read, and this one sounded interesting. It was overall, but in parts it didn't move on well from one scene to the next, with a bit too much detail of thoughts, feelings, dialogs, etc. Too much back and forth of similar situations. However, I listened to the end.

Stellar Narration of a Riveting Story!
I usually don’t listen to audio books, but Eryn O’Sullivan’s narration had me hooked from the start. She navigated the various characters, accents, and points of view impeccably.
Stacie Murphy’s mystery unfolds with perfect pacing, and I fell in love with the characters she wrote. O’ Sullivan’s narration skills paired with Murphy’s writing is a match made in heaven. I can’t wait to hear the next one! Not to be missed!

Enjoyable historical paranormal mystery
The writing is atmospheric and lovely. The narrator is great. The historical aspects of how both mental health and women were treated during this time were well done (and horrifying/heartbreaking). The paranormal element wove its way seamlessly into the story. All that said, there was very little sense of dread or suspense. There were harrowing situations, sure, but I never felt particularly worried for anyone (except for one character toward the end!). The mystery is more vaguely interesting than nail-biting. So all in all, it was entertaining but was missing that extra umph. It was easy to walk away, though I enjoyed my time with it when I returned.

Surprisingly Good!
I love historical fiction but am not a huge fan of supernatural themes. I listened to this book because I am acquainted with the author but I did not have high expectations. Wow, was I surprised! This is a gripping story that kept me wanting to make more time to listen. It's really a good historical tale set in a women's asylum in New York City when women were often at the mercy of their husbands. Although there is a supernatural element to the story, it is not the theme and it only a small part of the story - small enough to be entirely believable. I can say that I enthusiastically recommend this book! Can't wait for the next one.
