This week I chose...
Author: Sonia Gensler
Release Date: August 27, 2013
Summary from Goodreads:
A supernatural romance about the powers that lie in the shadows of the mind, perfect for fans of Sarah Rees Brennan, Alyxandra Harvey, and Libba Bray.
At the turn of the twentieth century, Spiritualism and séances are all the rage—even in the scholarly town of Cambridge, England. While mediums dupe the grief-stricken, a group of local fringe scientists seeks to bridge the gap to the spirit world by investigating the dark corners of the human mind.
Each running from a shadowed past, Kate, Asher, and Elsie take refuge within the walls of Summerfield College. But their peace is soon shattered by the discovery of a dead body nearby. Is this the work of a flesh-and-blood villain, or is something otherworldly at play? This unlikely trio must illuminate what the scientists have not, and open a window to secrets taken to the grave—or risk joining the spirit world themselves.

Perfect for fans of Libba Bray? Well, that's me! This sounds/looks super creepy. But in a good way! And it reminds me a bit of In The Shadow of Blackbirds (which I loved). AND I love Historical Fiction and England! For all these reasons and more, I am excited to read The Dark Between. :D
What are you waiting on?
I think this was my pick last week or the week before! I can't wait for this book!!!

This one does sound really good and it's coming out soon so not too much of a wait! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for this one, too. It sounds awesome and creepy and I love that cover. I keep checking to see if NG or EW has it, but to no avail so far. At least Aug is right around the corner. Great pick!
