Allegra Fairweather by Janni Nell

3.0

Allegra Fairweather: Paranormal Investigator was a fun romp in paranormal Scotland. I liked the book well enough, and I'd give it 3 1/2 stars, but I can't do that at Goodreads. The only reasons it's not a 4-star book is that sometimes the action fell a little flat and sometimes details were lacking. I was amused by the main character, though she's so far outside of the typical paranormal female lead that it was hard to keep her description in mind. I enjoyed the tingling in her big toe when she encountered the supernatural, though I pretty much had the big twist figured out once she went into the attic and though she hadn't found anything. I'm intrigued by the interaction between Allegra and Casper, and I'd like to see how that relationship turns out. Impossible but tempting, adding great conflict. I'd also like to hear more about her previous exploits instead of the teases the author puts in--there's lots of room for sequels. Overall a very good debut that could use some world-building and more integration of details.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the e-ARC.
