A reluctant medium. A meddling dowager. A séance that could unravel everything.
Miss Tessa Preston has sworn off communing with spirits, preferring solitude over séances. But when the eccentric Dame Hartwell insists on her attendance at a drawing-room gathering, Tessa finds herself entangled in spectral schemes and societal expectations. Can she navigate the ghostly tumult and protect those she cares about?
Tessa imagined all the ways in which she could reveal Sylvia’s ineptitude. She let her gaze sweep over the room, playing along for now.
“What do the spirits want of me?” When Madam Sylvia did not respond, Tessa turned to her, ready to witness more inane dramatics. What she saw instead gave her a start.
Madam Sylvia bolted upright, her spine rod straight. She threw her head back so that her careful auburn coiffure fell to her shoulders. Her hands clawed at her neck in a gentle, hypnotic manner.
The audience held their breath after a collective, horrified gasp.
Romantic rating: None.
Tropes: Gaslamp fantasy, comedy of manners, BIPOC historical heroine, kicking butt in all her finery, snarky uncle

this was a great short story in the hesitant mediums series, the characters had what I enjoyed from the first book and left me ready for the second book. The plot does what I wanted it was really well done.
A short story bridge between book 1 and the upcoming book 2. Miss Tessa Preston's story continues in this story. A fun short story to read. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This one is short and sweet and a very fun book to read. Caught up in a séance held by Dame Hartwell Tessa Preston and her uncle encounter a bit of a problem and oh the outcome was interesting. This was so entertaining. This is the first book by Belinda Kroll that I have read but trust me it will not be the last. I did receive a free copy of this book from Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.
This was a very quick read with feisty ghosts. I enjoyed the time with Miss Preston and Dame Hartwell. Dame Hartwell is a mischievous old lady that knows how to get her way. This has enticed me into finding the first book and read it too. I know I am going to enjoy this series and I really like finding new authors. I would recommend this book.
I LOVE books like this. Especially when it talks about spiritualism. I'm the history of spiritualism , people went to great lengths to fake being a medium and it usually worked. A lot of people would also go thru great lengths to expose a fake medium.. This book was absolutely a fun read. This book could be read as a stand alone but it's always better to read the series before this sequel. That way you can be introduced to the main characters. I would LOVE to read more books by this author.
