Story
A dazzling mixture of crime, romance, magic and myth from the acclaimed author of The Psychology of Time Travel. The Kendrick family have been making world-famous dolls since the early 1800s. But their dolls aren't coveted for the craftmanship alone. Each one has a specific emotion laid on it by its creator. A magic that can make you feel bucolic bliss or consuming paranoia at a single touch. Though founded by sisters, now only men may know the secrets of the workshop.

Story
By the year 2031, global warming cooks the planet, endless wars sweep the globe and pollution tries to finish everybody off. Science has declared r-incarnation a fact and legally sanctioned death houses have sprouted up like mushrooms in overcrowded cities. Those so-called "Last Resorts" provide the paying guest with the tools and the know-how for a successful exit from life - with one rule: once checked in, the check-out is feet-first only. Nobody leaves a "Last Resort" alive. Ansel Grayson has been a resident at the Hotel Terminus for over 12 years, unable to take the last step.
Summary
For readers of Lauren Oliver and Alice Sebold, a sophisticated, literary ghost story that reminds us the past is never, ever forgotten.
In a small logging town in northern California, young Emma Rose Finnis was born and died. Now, no one remembers her hardworking life and her grand dreams - but she remembers. She remembers everything. Emma Rose is still here, one hundred years after her death...and she doesn't plan on leaving.
But when a determined hunter arrives with instructions to "clean" Emma Rose out of her haunt, the stately Lambry mansion, death suddenly isn't the worst fate imaginable. Emma Rose refuses to be hounded from the only place she's ever found peace, even if it means waging a war on the living...and the dead.
Lyrical and haunting, this spellbinding American ghost story alternates between Emma Rose's life and afterlife as the past and present become entwined in a compelling tale of loss, love and tenacity over a century in the making.

Highly Recommended!!
I loved this book, becoming completely absorbed with the main character and her story. I felt her situation reflected the hard lives many women must have found themselves in at the turn of the last century. If I have a criticism, it is with the ending which I felt simply petered out.

Outstanding Performance, Unique Tale
I was hooked from the start. Lauren Ezzo performs this beautifully written, unique tale with captivating nuance. Ezzo is a masterful story teller, blending the art of pause, silence and characterisation that is superb. Masterfully written, M. Dressler honors the intellect of the reader and listener. This may be the best audiobook I've had the pleasure to listen to in the past several years. A real pleasure, a work of art, this is a must for every library.

Literary ghost story
M. Dressler’s modern literary ghost story will give you chills for its beautiful writing as well as pleasure in the plot. The author is expert at titrating the suspense, as one twist after the other keeps the story moving towards its satisfying, and unexpected, ending. Ghostly and human characters pull the reader in. Who knew how sympathetic some ghosts can be.

Original, fascinating, captivating...
A wonderful original story that has a natural flow. I’m not particularly a fan of stories that jump between times and characters, but this one is different. I was quickly drawn in to the story and stayed interested until the very last word. Really looking forward to how the author will continue the story.
And the narration by Lauren Ezzo is exquisite. I could listen to her voice as Emma Rose, with that tinge of an Irish accent, all day.

Great, but confusing
I absolutely loved this book. The characters were interesting and there were these mysteries you couldn't wait to find out more about. The ending, however, disappointed me a bit and left me wanting a lot more. I didn't feel like I got all the answers I needed and the last chapter seemed to raise more questions than it answered. Still, the book had me hooked and I can definitely recommend it, I just wish the ending had been a bit less confusing.
