Spectacle by Jodie Lynn Zdrok
5.0
One of the things I really enjoyed about this book was the attention to historical detail as well as the addition of what is normally fantasy written as a scientific phenomenon. It was quite clever. The writing was detailed, but not bogged down, historical, but not dull, and fantastical without going to far. There were a few slow parts, but it picked up fairly quickly. This book is along the same lines as Kerri Maniscalco's Jack the Ripper series, so if you liked that one, you should try this, or vice versa.
In order to start helping her mother out with costs, Nathalie began to write for the daily morgue column, explaining each new unknown body that was found, and displayed at the Paris Morgue. One day, when she touches the glass she gets a vision of what happened to one of the girls in reverse, and loses a memory. Willing to put this abnormal event behind her, she goes back the next day, the same thing happens with a different girl. As Nathalie tries to figure out where she got this mysterious power, and who killed this murdered girls, she puts her life in danger, and discovers that while she was hunting the killer, the killer want watching her as well.
