Thirteen-year-old Jessamine Grace and her mother make a living as sham spiritualists—until they discover that Jess is a mesmerist and that she really can talk to the dead. Soon she is plunged into the dark world of Victorian London’s supernatural underbelly and learns that the city is under attack by ghouls, monsters, and spirit summoners. Can Jess fight these powerful forces? And will the group of strange children with mysterious powers she befriends be able to help? As shy, proper Jess transforms into a brave warrior, she uncovers terrifying truths about the hidden battle between good and evil, about her family, and about herself.

I‘m not a fan of horror, most thrillers, or a lot of other books appropriate for October reading. But this spooky adventure middle grade novel is a perfect read for me this time of year. I‘m much older than the target market (which I would definitely recommend it for) but still found The Mesmerist to be enjoyable.

Quite an interesting book - a mix of paranormal with fantasy elements - both ghosts and ghouls but fae and angels. Pretty spooky at times.
