4.5 ⭐ What if our minds could be invaded so much so that our lives could be changed forever? What if Dr. Knight’s dark gift has taken a sudden turn? And what all the ‘coma cases’ at Brownlow Hill hospital have to do with all of this?
Amelia Dei, the first female detective in 1920 Liverpool sets out to do just that, possibly putting her life in danger. This is the first book in the Umbra Mentis series and I’m honestly excited for the next one!

I was intrigued by the book description, but never could I have imagined such a beautifully crafted supernatural historical thriller! This is so much different from any supernatural thriller I’ve read before and its focus on the occult and the mind it’s what makes it compelling. The audiobook was very well narrated by Liz May Brice, easy to follow and all in all a very enjoyable listening experience.

Not only the originality of the plot is enough to make you want to read this book and continue the series, but the characters feel real and the reader gets to know them from the inside out, understanding their motives and drivers. I couldn’t even hate the antagonist for how multifaceted and therefore authentic they were!

If you like your thrillers with occult elements set in the past, with well crafted characters then this series will be up your street. I also recommend it if you want to read something original and compelling.

Thanks to the authors for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

Original supernatural historical thriller!
