Things in Jars

Diverse Gothic mystery! There really isn't a way for me to not use the word “romp” to describe this book, at least as far as the plot goes. The action clips along nicely, the little discomfiting supernatural details are engrossing, the gruesome past events are hard to stomach, and the voice–the voice!!–is so strong in this book. Characters' and general narration both. Take a look at a preview to see what I mean.

I will definitely keep my eye out for more of Jess Kidd's work in the future.
