An interesting take on historical fiction, full of a little bit of mystery, a little bit of intrigue, and a dash of magic/supernatural abilities. I think some of the characters could have been more fleshed out, and it's unclear if other people besides Ruby and Guy have supernatural abilities (I would have liked that explored a little more). But the premise was interesting, and I was invested for most of the book.
Kulper also did a good job representing this time period, giving the book a good Roaring 20s feel. The whole conspiracy behind Ruby's murders was also well played out, and a good portion of why I was hooked by this particular story.
