I think every time I finish a book by Jaime Jo Wright I suddenly have a new favorite of hers. Let's just say, I loved this story. A creepy theater, something deadly lurking beneath the stage, a ghostly woman in white, missing people in two timelines, and this one even has some hints of blossoming feelings between the main characters in both timelines and the guys in their lives. But, don't worry, if you aren't a fan of "romance" stories, this definitely doesn't take center stage.
I loved the storyline in both the 1915 timeline and the modern day timeline, and I love the way the stories came together and the secrets were unveiled. Slowly, alternating between both timelines. The author really is wonderful in the way she does this.
I felt sympathy for Greta in her struggles in 1915 with how to provide for her brothers, and the poorhouse looming in the distance, both in proximaty and in time. It was quite emotional to know how much she struggled because of where she fell in the class system.
I thought it was quite interesting how in the modern timeline they are trying to get to the bottom of the decades old stories of Barlowe Theater through a show called The Psychic and the Skeptic. How the author uses the skeptic to delve into the truth behind supposed supernatural sightings and to bring a focus to God and His truths.
Loved the revelations and the twists. There were some things I was guessing were going to happen, but the author surprised me more than once.
And I loved the way the story made reference to Scooby Doo and the way they reveal that the supernatural, when unmasked, is just regular people caught up in crimes. The thing is, I have said that very thing about the author's books. That is why I love them.
