Synopsis:
A shorter novel, Rosamund feeds into the
bestselling Psychic Surveys series, and
is the story of sub-character Rosamund. It can also be read as a STANDALONE.
Could you find your way through Hell?
Ruby Davis runs Psychic Surveys, a high street company specialising in domestic spiritual clearance. Having inherited her ability to see beyond the veil that separates this world and the next from her mother, Jessica, she is busy helping grounded spirits to cross the great divide. In turn, Jessica inherited her gift from her mother, Sarah, and Sarah from Rosamund.
Throughout the early twentieth century, Rosamund Davis was a woman held in high regard concerning her mediumship abilities and her pioneering work with London’s famous psychical society. She published many papers on psychic matters, although there are some that remain unpublished, for the eyes of the Davis family only. It is these unavailable works concerning the non-spirit that fascinate many – entities born of negative thoughts that subsequently take on their own energy. Entities known as demons.
But what caused her to write about such dark matter?
From her own notes, in her own words, this is Rosamund’s account.
Review:
Another
fab novel from my favourite spooky author. This was is a standalone novel to
accompany the Psychic Surveys series that takes us back in time.
It
tells the story of young Rosamund and how she comes to realise that she can
communicate with spirits. It introduces us to her obsessive father, whose life
mission is to prove that spirits exist and can be communicated with.
Unfortunately his ways are very Victorian and therefore have very bad
consequences.
Rosamund
comes to learn of a secret London society that is trying to prove the existence
of afterlife through use of drugs and young girls as medium.
With
helps coming from unexpected places, Rosamund learns to follow her instincts, embrace
her gifts and survive the inevitable.
I
loved reading about Rosamund and her first experiences with the spiritual
world. This was a mellower story and a great introduction to the work of the
future Psychic Surveys.
Thank
you for Shani and TBConFB for the opportunity to read this book.
