Atmospheric Victorian mystery with a sprinkle of magical realism.... character driven with an interesting plot.  Loved it.

informative

4.5

This is a good option for anyone looking for the overall teenager focused information that was given in her other two books that were specific to adolescent girls.  Id recommend it to clients of boys. The only thing I found lacking was info on gender queer/non conforming.

This is a five star simply because I loved it so damn much.  Such a fun read.  I love anti heros and just about every main character fit the description. I love lore and mythology inspired contemporary stories. Check! Great dialog? Yes! And there's PICTURES! 
This might be one of my seasonal reads moving forward.
