I received an arc of the book from the publisher, via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This debut novel is a truly original fantasy/sci-fi book with steampunk and Victorian vibes. We follow 2 separate timelines for much of the book and see how they come together. The characters are well developed and often morally grey. The plot is intriguing, dark and complex.

informative slow-paced

Received a free copy of the audiobook from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

An interesting, unique look at the history, mythology and etymology of plants.

As someone with very little knowledge of the subject matter, I found this book very accessible.

The mispronunciation of certain Irish names and phrases did bother me, and I suspect, there were other mispronunciations from other cultures.

I received an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley of this in exchange for an honest and fair review.

This is the first book in the Nearly Departed series.

This paranormal mystery book is unlike anything I've ever read; it's fun, entertaining and mysterious. I felt it had the right amount of action and drama.

Well crafted and interested characters, can't wait for the next book.
