I am not going to talk about Oliver much because I don’t want to spoil anything. Instead Eleanor spends a lot of time with Oliver. The Ghost Hunters abhor necromancers, so that makes things even tougher for her.ĭaniel isn’t in the story as much as I would like. She is constantly struggling with the decision of suppressing her magic, or learning to use it to its fullest extent. Oliver was mentioned in many of her brothers letters and now Eleanor finally knows what and who he is.Įleanor is a fun character to read about. However she starts to learn a lot more about her powers when she meets the mysterious Oliver on her boat to Paris. She knows she is walking a fine line between dark and light. The best part of the book was Eleanor exploring her newfound necromancer powers. The only downside was I felt like not a ton happened throughout the book. The book was easy to read and I enjoyed the story.

This was a well done sequel in this series. When she gets there she finds that Jie, Joseph and Daniel have bigger problems…iin form of the Walking Dead. Eleanor flees to Paris to join the Ghost Hunters and beg their help. Eleanor can handle all of this until she sees Marcus again, then she know she needs help. Eleanor is struggling to make ends meet and pay for her mother’s care and is being scorned by many of her former friends. The Spirit Hunters have fled Philadelphia, leaving Eleanor to pick up the pieces. I enjoyed this book, I didn’t think it was quite as good as the first one… but I still enjoyed reading it. The third book, Strange and Ever After, is set to release in July of 2014. This is the second book in the Something Strange and Deadly series by Dennard. Stand Alone or Series: 2nd book in the Something Strange and Deadly series
