Me, while reading the blurb of A Darkness Strange and Lovely:
Eleanor and Daniel in Paris!
"And there’s still that pesky problem of the ever-exasperating (and ever-handsome) inventor, Daniel Sheridan…"
"Expected publication: 2013 by HarperTeen"
I. Can't. Wait. That. Long. How am I expected to survive a whole year without zombies and Eleanor and parasols and DANIEL?!?!?!?

Gosh, this is a beyond amazing book. Full review to come!
Okay, if you haven't figured out by this point that I absolutely adore Susan Dennard's books, you probably should go back and read some of my older posts.
Needless to say, I was absolutely ecstatic to receive an ARC of A Darkness Strange and Lovely by Susan Dennard. I completely devoured this book. Mainly because, it was AMAZING.

Thank you to the lovely people at HarperTeen and Susan Dennard for sending me an ARC in exchange for a honest review. Something Strange And Deadly is one of those books that I instantly loved, I mean what's not to love about that book. Before starting, A Darkness Strange And Lovely I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't enjoy ADS&L as much. ADS&L exceeded any expectations I had and was a stronger book than it's predecessor.

Eleanor Fitt, is anything but. She survived a zombie attack in her last adventure, but lost her right hand and her brother. She also discovered that she is a necromancer of sorts. Her love interest, Daniel has spurned her affections and left for Paris with his team of Spirit Hunters. Eleanor's mother is in a sanitarium and Eleanor has been selling off the family's possessions to pay for her mother's care. Her mother in a moment of lucidity remembers all that has transpired and disowns Eleanor. E...more
What can I say about this book to really do it justice? I didn't think it was possible to improve on SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY, the first title in this trilogy, but A DARKNESS STRANGE AND LOVELY did it.
Everything is amped up in this book. The setting is grander--Nineteenth Century Paris, need I say more?--and the detail with which Dennard writes makes the era come alive. It felt rich, regal and, most importantly, REAL. Then there are the new characters, namely Oliver and Laure, who add depth...more

In love 100%. Dennard blew me away with the sequel to Something Strange and Deadly. This picked up right where book 1 ended and I couldn't have been more surprised, pleased, absolutely head over heels in love love love.
Eleanor is still as spunky as ever. She just is fantastic. She gets in some pretty tight spots and still comes out a little flustered but till spitting mad. You will laugh, cry, scream and cry some more. She can't wait to find the shadow hunters, but what she finds on the ship is...more

This is going to be the vaguest review ever because Susan Dennard’s A DARKNESS STRANGE AND LOVELY doesn’t come out for another eight months still, but I can’t not talk about it. The sequel to SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY, this novel picks up right where the first left off. The Spirit Hunters have fled Philadelphia, and Eleanor Fitt is dealing with the aftermath. When the evil necromancer Marcus reappears, Eleanor heads to Paris via steamer to track down Joseph, Daniel, and Jie. Aboard the ship s...more
I JUST marked this to-read on the weekend after finishing SSAD and it didn't have a cover then! Sooooo freaking pretty.
Why must the release be so far away??
Later the same day...
Wait, was there a synopsis when I was here before? Was I so blinded by the ridiculously beautiful cover that I didn't realize there were WORDS next to it? PARIS?! I need this book right freaking now!

One of the only downsides to getting an ARC is that you have to wait even longer for the next one! Review to come.
