Something Strange and Deadly

review 1: I really enjoyed this book. I picked it up originally just because the third book in the series has been sitting on display for awhile and I figured I might as well try the whole series and I ended up really liking it! It's set in Philadelphia in what I imagine is supposed to be our universe, but with a hint more magic. The Dead have been rising in the city and causing trouble and it all centers around the main character, Eleanor. She's likable because she's real- she isn't the picture-perfect high society girl and she's entirely too curious for her own good. I'd definitely recommend reading this, especially if you're a fan of the Finishing School series (Etiquette & Espionage, etc) or Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty trilogy, as this book falls right between the t... morewo in terms of seriousness, detail, and the supernatural. It's less silly and fluffy as Gail Carriger's works, but less magical and in depth as Bray's. It's a quick, fun, and slightly thrilling read!
review 2: Unfortunately, for me, this book wasn't as great as I was told it was. When I heard it was a zombie book I was excited for that, but to me this book seemed more like a paranormal mystery. It was ok nonetheless. I just feel like it dragged on at times. And despite having finished the book, I still don't know how I feel about the main character Eleanor. As a character she is ok, for me her redeeming qualities were how curious and unmanageable she is. I know this is only the start of the trilogy, but I'm not too sure how willing I am to read the next one. Perhaps in some spare time. less
