This book is lovely. It's fun and funny and creative and intriguing and generally really wonderful. I loved all of the characters (except Lenore) and the history and wish this was a series. I at least want to read more set in this world, like ours but with magic and paranormal spookies. The mystery is really well written too and the plot is engaging even without the spunky Ellie to guide us through. Loved this one.
