Synopsis:

    When bodies go missing from the cemetery, Lincoln and the Ministry of Curiosities investigate. But not Charlie. As a housemaid at Lichfield Towers, she doesn't get involved in Ministry business.

    Instead, she conducts investigations of her own. She searches for details about her real mother, and makes inquiries into Lincoln's background. What she learns has the power to destroy the fragile trust they've built, or bring them closer together.

    As secrets are revealed, and investigations don't go as planned, Charlie finds her necromancy sucking her into a whirlpool filled with betrayal, lies and danger.

Book Beginning:
London, Autumn 1889
"Put your arm around me," I told Lincoln Fitzroy

Friday 56:
I thought he'd walked off, but then he sat on the edge of the table beside me. "Will you allow me to give you some advice."


(It appears that I forgot to finish the '56' quote.)

50/50 Friday is a new weekly link-up hosted by Carrie @ The Butterfly Reader and Laura @ Blue Eye Books.  This has recently been retired. Here is her post explaining the situation.

The last topic, Best/Worst Read of August

 I'll probably still end up doing this topic in particular at the end of each month

Favorite

I am a super-fan for Laini Taylor's books.

Least

Oh, I hope I don't get flack for this.

There was some mutilation involving eyes at the very start of the book that I wasn't expecting and it kind of threw me off a little for the rest of the read. 

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot to love about this book. It was just that spoiled my reading experience.
