Ahoy there me mateys! These books have a frame story in which Eva, a psychometrist (person who can read objects), works for the Institute and uses her power to find out more about the objects in the collection. There are five memories/stories in the first book and I did enjoy them even though the details have faded quite a bit now. The second book is more of the first. There is nothing new or shocking to these stories. The twist was predictable and lackluster. I didn’t really care about the frame but I did think the writing was fun. I particularly loved the haunted house ghost story. These were enjoyable and quick reads but rather forgettable to me in the long run. Arrrr!
