This was fun time. Groundbreaking? Not necessarily. Fun, quick read with an interesting mystery element? Absolutely. The story/plot was fast-paced, taking place throughout one week within London and Paris. While I struggled with the flip between 1st person and 3rd person POVs, after a few chapters, I found that I quite liked the difference between the POVs as it felt like someone was telling one side of the story while we got to experience another. It's possible that I just wasn't looking closely enough - I usually let mysteries unravel themselves -, but the plot twist wasn't super obvious to me and I thought it was well done.

As someone that has struggled with accepting the 'invisible' (spiritualism) along with the 'logical' (science) in their life, I found myself connecting with our main character Lenna quite a bit throughout The London Séance Society. Her gradual acceptance of spiritualism and its ability to coexist with her love of and beliefs in science felt real and something I relate to on a personal level. 

My biggest complaint is the relationship development between Lenna and Vaudeline. I just didn't feel the chemistry or the passion - removing the 'romance' completely would have done nothing to the story in my opinion. I did enjoy their interactions as mentor/mentee though.
