"I wanted to help the world. You've done nothing but destroy. You are death itself." 

Detective Henry Coxton runs a ghost hunting firm where he investigates mysteries in the streets of Edwardian London. He and his colleagues, a telekinetic named Violet Asquith and an intriguing monster, Christopher X, have accepted their most challenging case. One that may destroy the firm and perhaps reality itself. 

I love finding books that I've never heard of and end up really enjoying them. I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised at how engaging it was. I mean, it had everything I love in a mystery - the occult, a historical setting, supernatural and horror elements, and wonderful characters. 

I liked that it didn't follow the typical ghost hunter trope you see on TV. Henry was a caring man with a frightening past. Violet was tough, but sweet with her telekinetic abilities coming in handy. Christopher felt lost, but get on his wrong side and he would tear you apart. They all had something to bring to the table and they worked well together as a team despite their individual troubles. 

The ending felt a little rushed, but it was still enjoyable overall. This book was mysterious, engaging, magical, and surprisingly gory at times. If you're looking for something a little different, I recommend this book!
