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), Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her.

Jacob Beaufort’s spirit has been unable to crossover since his death. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is he has been assigned by the Otherworld’s administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together, they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there’s nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love.

This audiobook drew me in from the beginning. Excellent characters and storyline. The narration was superb too.

An absorbing story

I like the main ideas, it could be really good.

It seems to need rewriting or editing to be consistent, because it meanders about and repeats ideas as though they’re a new part of the story.

The heroine is pretty selfish tbh, and often contradicts previous ideas two sentences later! For instance telling him they need to find his body, then soon after expressing shock and fear at home saying the same thing! Sloppy and over sentimental writing throughout.

Weird. Mixed bag.

A modern romance wrapped up in an unconvincing historical setting. The whole thing isn’t exactly high quality writing but it’s light enough to sustain a listen to the end while you’re doing chores.

The narrator sounds like AI (it’s recorded before AI was around so that’s just a coincidence).

Enjoyable nonsense
