The Parlour Game | Jennifer Renshaw

2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read

London, 1873.
Ivy Granger, an amateur botanist, is plagued by disturbing dreams and faceless whispers. Misunderstood by her father, she fears for her sanity - threatened with the asylum or worse, the hands of the man she loathes.
But a stranger at her mother’s funeral reveals Ivy’s world has been a lie, and she could have a different life, for she is capable of so much more...
Miss Earnshaw, London’s most renowned spiritualist, is Ivy’s only hope of revealing what secrets her mother took to the grave and discovering her true purpose.
Ivy’s journey for knowledge takes her to Blackham House, a building haunted by a terrible past - full of macabre artefacts and ancient studies of the supernatural. But behind closed doors, the Blackhams collect more than relics alone, and Ivy will soon find herself at the centre of a conspiracy spanning generations, and a hidden evil waiting to be unleashed.
Can Ivy survive in a world where women must play their part or risk being silenced?

This was a good read for #spooktober! Also was a tour book that I blanked out on so now I‘m embarrassed to request another book! This one was good though so it‘s even worse because the author probably thinks I disappeared because I don‘t like it! :/

This turned out to be a really good Gothic horror novel. Ivy is a main character with whom it's easy to empathise & become invested in what happens to her. The strange atmosphere & sense of foreboding at the Blackham home is evoked well & although I did guess some of the twists, I didn't guess them all.

OutsmartYourShelf I'm not sure if there will be a sequel, but there really should be because of that ending & the fact that there are several loose ends that need finishing up. There was a slightly issue with pacing as it seemed to go on just a little too long, but it's a minor quibble. Overall I rated it a 4🌟 read.

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, BooksGoSocial, for the opportunity to read an ARC. #NetGalley 2y

Rehesina I think there is a sequel! Because it‘s part of a whole series! 2y
