A Peril in Ectoplasm: Just Once More (A Medium's Peril Book 1) (English Edition) Kindle-editie

Engelstalige uitgave Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene (auteur) Indeling: Kindle-editie
4,7 van 5 sterren 9 beoordelingen
In 1920s Florida, Spiritualism enjoys renewed interest. Daphne Moultrie, the most powerful medium of her time, receives a warning from the other side, “Find her, and keep her with you. Or you will die.” All Daphne knows about this girl is what her crystal ball showed her — a four-leaf clover, and each leaf had a human eye.
.
Meanwhile, Daphne’s fiancé has designs of his own. He pressures her to continue séances for a strange and very demanding woman. With each of those séances, Daphne becomes weaker and closer to death.
.
This novella captures the Roaring Twenties, as only acclaimed author, Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene can. Settings, descriptions, and language all come to vibrant life. The ensemble cast has a number of characters, including one you will love to hate. It’s a genre mash-up, part mystery, part suspense, with a dash of light horror.

    5,0 van 5 sterren A paranormal gem!
    Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 24 augustus 2023
    Formaat: Kindle-editieGeverifieerde aankoop
    Daphne Moultrie is a gifted medium whose strength is failing as she does readings for the enigmatic and frightening Mrs Smith. Pressured by her cash-strapped fiancé to continue with these readings, a warning comes from beyond the grave that she is in great danger but someone represented by an image of a four-leaf clover, with an eye in each leaf, could be the one person to save her. The story captures the 19320s perfectly and there are colourful illustrations that add flavour to this. I was hooked from the start to the dramatic end!

    I have long admired Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene’s stories, and although, in general, I prefer longer fiction, in her case I am happy to read her short(er) fiction as well, in any genre, as she always manages to create complex characters, places them in compelling settings, and the action usually takes place in a more-or-less distant historical period that she brings to life in a vivid manner making use of all five senses, from a smell, to an image, a sound, a song, a texture, the fashion, the dishes, the inventions, the latest models of cars, the expressions and language, and the news, beliefs, and fads of the era. Her research is woven into the story without calling attention to it, and we get to learn about places and their history without realising it.
    This story came out in time for Halloween, and it is the perfect read for it, but having read it a bit later, I think it is suitable for any time readers fancy something a bit unusual and chilling.
    We have a set of strong female characters (even though some might not realise they are strong), with Daphne, a medium, as the main protagonist. Her fiancé, Crespo, a Cuban aristocrat, has been trying to take charge of her career and his insistence on her seeing a particular client is having a terrible effect on the young woman. She gets a warning from beyond this world, but one that it is not straightforward to interpret, even for her. Thankfully, her long-time housekeeper and mother figure, Maisy, Maisy’s nephew, and his journalist friend help her make sense of the clues and head the warning, which proves very apt.
    Because Daphne is at risk from a particular client, a Mrs Smith, who, as the title hints, wants to see somebody she has lost ‘just once more’, no matter how high the price might be for everybody else involved. She is bad but also desperate, and although she is neither ambiguous nor likeable, I couldn’t help but wonder how many people would have tried the same if they thought they could.
    Crespo is slimy and manipulative, but he is not totally bad, as he is genuinely worried for Daphne in the end and seems to love her, in his own way. Even if that is not much, he is an interesting and complex character, although if I had to choose a male character, I’d go for one that only makes a few fleeing appearances in the story, but I won’t say any more.
    Daphne comes into her own and has tremendous potential as a character, and I loved Maisy and the new secretary, and I will not go into any more details to avoid spoiling the story for readers.
    There are some dark and truly scary moments, and, as you can imagine from the title and the description, plenty of paranormal elements, but there is no gore, and there is more menace than true violence, although all the more effective for that.
    Apart from the characters and the eerie story, I particularly enjoyed the setting, which I was not familiar with, and the many true details about the historical period. I felt as if I had walked into Coral Gables, Florida, in the 1920s. Those who love research and having access to extra information will be pleased to know that the author adds some historical notes at the end, explaining some aspects of the story, especially those to do with spiritualism, and also referring to some of the vehicles and inventions mentioned.
    Another winner for the author, and because of its length, one particularly suited to people with little time who prefer to read a story from beginning to end in one sitting or close enough. Highly recommended for fans of the author and those who love short and spooky historical fiction stories.

    5,0 van 5 sterren A fabulous and entertaining Halloween read.
    Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 28 oktober 2022
    Formaat: Kindle-editieGeverifieerde aankoop
    Teagan Geneviene has created the perfect Halloween tale, full of rich descriptions, interesting characters, and with a fast paced plot involving a frightening demon.

    Daphne Moultrie is a gifted medium with a lot of empathy and a kind nature. Daphne was born to wealth and lives in a beautiful mansion with her aging housekeeper, Maisy, who has cared for her since the death of her parents many years before.

    Recently engaged to the outwardly charming Crespo Irigoyen, a Cuban Count, Daphne has everything to be joyous about, but she is not thriving. Fatigued and wan, she is finding giving seances overwhelming, especially those for the demanding and selfish Mrs Smith. Daphne senses something evil in this foreboding woman and does not want to see her. Her determined fiancé is, however, determined that the relationship with, and seances for Mrs Smith, should continue.

    Maisie is concerned and does not trust Crespo. She doesn't know what to do until the spirit of a dead soldier manifests and gives Daphne a warning.

    Is the dead soldier good or evil? Can the outcome he warns of be avoided? Does Crespo really love Daphne or is he a charlatan? Read the book to find out!

    A few samples of Ms. Geneviene's vivid writing:

    "A gust of wind caused the tall palm trees to sway. The vivid sunrise faded to clear blue and the sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds. Yet there was something to the air that hinted of a storm in the distance."

    "Regardless, there were dark circles under Daphne's eyes, and her complexion was ashen. The roses were gone from her cheeks. There was no bounce in her step. That morning the poor thing looked so fragile that Maisy wanted to telephone the doctor."

    "Her murky black aura extends to make a huge sphere around her. I've never seen an aura so large or so ... revolting. I can feel an oil texture just looking at it,' Daphne whispered with a shudder, but collected herself quickly."

    A fabulous and entertaining Halloween read.

    4,0 van 5 sterren A short read but full of nuances!

    The roaring 1920s is the perfect setting for this entertaining story. I loved how the author put the reader into the story with the characters.
    Daphne Moultrie is a talented medium. She holds seances to communicate with the deceased. She lives in a Victorian mansion in Coral Gables, Florida. The way the author describes it, I could see every detail.
    Daphne is engaged to a supposed Cuban Count. But at the story unfolds, the reader begins to see that the count, while he does appear to genuinely care for Daphne, seems to care more about what marriage to her could do for him.
    The other characters in the story, Maisy, the faithful and loyal housekeeper, her son, Albert, a journalist, Phineas and a young woman just finishing up secretarial school, Clover. We find that Clover comes from an abusive family situation and wants nothing more than to make her own way in the world. So, when Daphne offers her a job as her personal assistant, it seems Clover's dreams can come true. Then there is the horrible woman, Mrs. Smith, who will do anything to have contact with her deceased child, even if it means taking lives. There are so many different nuances to this story. From the automobiles, a pink trolley car, the time period, the dress styles and the characters, I was engrossed in the story from the first page to the last. If you have a penchant for a historical adventure into the world of Spiritualism and Mediumship, you are going to love this story!

    5,0 van 5 sterren A 1920s Medium Searches for the Truth
    Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 27 oktober 2023
    Formaat: Kindle-editieGeverifieerde aankoop
    Welcome to the extravagant 1920s where we meet Daphne Moultrie, a spiritualist engaged to a Cuban Count named Crespo Irigoyen. He’s a creepy guy, and I got a real sense that he was only out for a buck. You immediately know something isn’t right about him. He keeps pushing Daphne to hold seances with a woman called Mrs. Smith.

    Daphne is a gifted medium. She comes from a wealthy family and lives in a mansion run by her elderly housekeeper, Maisy. The woman has taken care of Daphne since the death of her parents. They have a great relationship, and Maisy is very protective of Daphne. In fact, Maisy suspects the Count is up to no good. She just could be right!

    Daphne is exhausted from all the spiritual communications. A dead soldier appears and issues a stark warning! During a seance, the medium is advised to find a certain person, as her life depends on it!

    What a great Halloween read! I enjoyed the characters, and the author excels at putting the reader in the middle of the action by her use of terminology and even 1920s slang!
