Example Review:
Lockwood & Co Book 1 I love this book as it incorporates several mysteries and involves plucky and sarcastic characters. I am not a fan of truly graphic horror stories, but there is enough disturbing phenomena and creepy/scary scenes to satisfy those who tend toward the macabre. Fans of Supernatural or Ghostbusters who like the ghost hunting aspects will enjoy Lockwood & Co. Those who like mysteries such as the show Sherlock & many of the Sherlock mysteries, or Steampunk novels like The Clockwork Scarab by Colleen Gleason, will also enjoy the book. This is the first in an extremely satisfying series; I really appreciate that there are smaller mysteries to solve to capture each ghost, and then the larger mystery of why there are more and more ghosts in London these days.
