Summary

Charlie's life is perfect. She has everything her heart desires. Until it all goes horribly wrong.

Charlie and Lincoln return to London to find two supernaturals have been murdered, and Charlie might be next. As if that wasn't bad enough, the man who adopted her has escaped from prison, and the committee members have just learned some news that infuriates them. Now there's talk of sending Charlie away again. Far away.

But the worst is yet to come. Charlie is kidnapped and forced to summon one of the murder victims - but she's unable to send him back. With an angry dead supernatural on the loose and the committee determined to get rid of her, Charlie's time with the Ministry of Curiosities, and Lincoln, is in grave danger of coming to an end.

C J Archer knows how to grip you

I’m just warning you. Be prepared to buy the next book immediately after you finish the book. The narrator was excellent. Lincoln annoys the hell out of me but I just can’t stop listening.

Frustrating

I've enjoyed the first 3 books but found this one frustrating. On one hand Charlie, is a feisty, strong woman and then she becomes simpering, submissive and to be honest, pathetic. There were tears in my eyes....tears of frustration. I now just want to slap Charlie and tell her to get angry and stop being a doormat. Her earlier personality traits seem to have vanished. I hope the next book will redeem her.
