Ratings and reviews

If you have a love for all things circa 1920s, the attitudes, the morality, idioms, etc. you are in luck; it was masterfully included. If you believe in the Paranormal, and respect it, then you are out of luck; it is treated as nothing more than a con game. However, the storyline being weak, you still find yourself reading more and more just to see what crap Daisy (main character) gets into next. I find myself surprised because I enjoyed the quirkiness of the book.

Had little hopes originally for the book as I have been so disappointed by so many of the e-books I have obtained recently. From page 1 I was taken with Daisy Gumm & now am not ready to give her up! I want more...thank you for such a compilation of absorbing characters. I simply must keep reading to find out if my suspicion ( & not little hope) regarding Daisy & Sam comes to fruition.

Good read for a period piece. Title doesn't match the books context to me but I still enjoyed it very much. Daisy is a spirited young woman in the 1920s. Must detail of the time period included.
