Amy Deland is haunted by a shadow that appears in some of her recent portraits. In each case, the subject died within days of the sitting. Does she have her grandmother's gift of foresight, or has she somehow caused the deaths?

As Kendall and Amy search for answers, their investigation draws them together in a most improper way—but it seems the evil presence in the studio is determined to keep them apart…

Ratings and reviews

I liked this story enough to finish it, which means it deserves 4 stars at least. However, air travel in the mid 19th century? Not believable even in a paranormal story like this. And totally unnecessary for the story line. It's as if the author just could not imagine living without modern conveniences and used magic to fill in all the gaps.pity.

A fun paranormal steampunk novel. There are times the pace could have slowed down a bit but all in all an enjoyable read

Really enjoyed this book. Only problem was its too short!! Would love to read more stories involving these characters.
