Summary
London, 1914. Lily's visions could stop a killer...if she'll trust a reclusive aristocrat with her darkest secret.
A monster stalks the gaslit streets of Edwardian London, draining the blood of the city's mediums. Lily Albright knows who's next.
Lily is plagued by visions of the future she can never change. When a mysterious fiend threatens someone she loves, she's determined this time will be different.
But she can't do it alone. To save a life, Lily must reveal her darkest secrets to someone she has little reason to trust—the reclusive Lord Strangford, a man haunted by his own unusual powers.
From the glittering galleries of Bond Street to the rookeries of Southwark, Lily and Strangford plunge into a dark conspiracy that lies at the heart of England's rising eugenics movement.
To thwart it, Lily must face a past rife with betrayal—and embrace the power she has spent her entire life trying to escape.
First in a gripping historical fantasy series narrated by 20-year acting veteran Alex Picard.

The hoarrrrrror
Not a bad story. Group of people with powers is a concept that always goes down well but unfortunately despite being set just before WW1 it resolutely describes a Victorian society with a motorcycle chucked in. Lots of Americanisms and no Briton of any era would really describe someone as being ’a quick study’. I don’t really understand why the author didn’t just set it in America which they obviously know much better. Finally, I know slagging off the narrator is a cheap trick but this one deserves it. For whole moments her English accent was ok but then she would murder a whole range of vowels who had done nothing to deserve it. My favourite was the couple who having disagreed went home and had a row-as if their argument was settled by re-running that year’s university boat race. That was by no means the worst either. I won’t be continuing with the series because my ears couldn’t take it.

Exciting and intriguing
Highly recommend this. I'm a huge fan of The Charismatics series and this is the first - great story, interesting characters, beautiful writing. Got the audiobook to chill with - love the narration! It's not distracting from the story as I sometimes find with audiobook narrators and fits in well and pulls me even more into that world.
