They handled that remarkably well but I'm not sure they are any better off now.

So what happens if the ghost source is like a super priceless artefact?

Hmm guys I suspect the only reason he is coming to you is because the job is so dangerous everyone else turned it down.

Sorry Lockwood he does kinda have a point.

'It’s a commonly known fact that while cats can’t stand ghosts, spiders love them. '

I'm guessing they are not going to get paid for this job.

"Of the first few hauntings I investigated with Lockwood & Co. I intend to say little, in part to protect the identity of the victims, in part because of the gruesome nature of the incidents, but mainly because, in a variety of ingenious ways, we succeeded in cocking them all up."

Colour me intrigued and this is page one.

If she turns that offer then she is the biggest idiot ever.

These are handcuffs made in the 1800's (roughly) how on earth would she be familiar with them? So why is she surprised that she doesn't know the brand?

Completely unprepared for the attack? What did she think he was going to do? She goaded him, backed him into a corner and she seriously didn't read his body language and get he was close to breaking? Worst behaviour profiler ever.

Wait she is sad she doesn't have her FBI badge yet at the start of the book she was happy to throw it away to exact revenge?

Holy cow is that her interviewing technique? And she wonders why everyone is hostile to her.

A computer hacking, non-pant wearing spider that makes sharks faint

And when they can't play the American card there is the Duke card.

'Lady Rebecca looked amused. “You seem to forget your station in life, Miss Donovan. What is done, and what is not done.”
“I’m sure the Duke will assist me.”'

The "she is American" card for every weird thing she does is getting old. I can't believe everyone just accepts this as an excuse for her ignorant and weird behaviour (weird to them).

Yes we get it the 1800's was a ducky time for women's rights. Why is Kendra so shocked every single time someone is sexist from this period?

I thought she was a criminal behaviour specialist not a forensic specialist? Maybe the two roles are entertained in real life?

Oh now she has some sense to bite her tongue and think "it's not my era"

How has she not been thrown out of the house by now? I may not be an expert on relationships between aristocracy and servants in the early 1800's, but I am pretty sure telling the Lady you are supposed to be attending to shut up is a massive no no.

Maybe I am missing something but her anger seems a little out of context considering she didn't like her team member and didn't know them from a bar of soap.

Kendra is not winning me over, and the random changing of point of views is still continuing (and annoying me).

I hope the random changing of Point of views doesn't continue.

That was exciting, smart and horrific. Omg all those books

Please don't let this be a book 1 of 2. I need to know the ending in this book, things are getting sooooo interesting.

No Zayanna is too obvious. I like her character I want her to stay.

Well I must confess waltzing into the party my dearest enemy is throwing would not be my tactic for staying as far away from him so he can't kill me as possible. To be fair she didn't know but she really should have seen this coming with how this mission is failing spectacularly.

Oh snap puzzle piece revealed. Well that makes things interesting.

She tried to look like a woman who might actually like spiders, rather than one who preferred the drown-them-in-a-vat-of-acid option.

Just kill them all Irene. Kill them all.

Not sure I would be happy working for an organisation that's thinks it's ok to send their workers on probation on some of the most dangerous missions they can without all the information.

"The morning light glittered on the glass windows and on the blades of the guillotines in the central square."

First sentence of chapter 1, is morbid but somehow pretty.
