The king's magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders, no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate, and only one servant has ever left. The haunted look in her eyes as she was recaptured by the palace guards is something Josie, daughter of the village doctor, has never forgotten. For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself. Whispers of magic fuel Josie's desire to uncover the truth, but an ordinary girl like her can only dream of ever being invited inside.

Seventeen-year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her.

Fantastic Series
I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying this series. The character development is great and the mix of magic and the Victorian era makes it more enjoyable. C J Archer has got the mix just right. The element of mystery with each book also adds to the overall enjoyment.

Wild west comes to London
C.J. Archer, the author, brings the wild wild west and it is a wild wild story. She continues to weave historical facts in her stories. Considering Matt’s team being from America and spending time out west I found it a refreshing inclusion in the story line. The humor comes at the most unsuspecting times. There is danger, love, heartbreak, jealousy, fear and murder, which keeps you enthralled in the story.
When one of our team becomes a suspect in a murder the group rallies to solve the murder. The detective work is faster paced. India being a magician is still central to the story line. Magician are being discussed more in the papers and more magician are being found. The fear of them being discriminated against of even killed is still an issue. India and Matt differ on should she tell that she magician. India is very strong willed and independent goes about what she wants despite Matt’s feelings. Yet, with Matt respecting her independence, she continues to keep secrets.
The wedding ceremony does not get as much story time, which I found disappointing. Other characters story lines were discussed i.e. Cyclops's romance.

just meh this time
I am getting tired of this series. The narrator is alright but her voices get a little mixed up now and then. The series was better when the characters didn't know each other so well. now they seem to do a lot of bickering. Also Annie Aokley was married to a man. This author makes it seem as if she is interested in Whillie. I find that disturbing. No way would a woman allow herself to be known back in this time that she liked other women. Annie Aokley never showed any signs of liking women. She was married after all. Perhaps the author could have used a name of someone who was known to like the same sex partners.

I really enjoy this series. This book follows the adventures of India, Matt, and their group of friends as they help the police solve the murder of an American sharp shooter with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. I like seeing the predicaments the characters find themselves in. I also like learning more about each character as the series progresses. I would recommend reading or listening to the series in order for maximum enjoyment.
