What threw me off was the paranormal element. For most of DARKE LONDON, there was barely a hint on anything supernatural aside from the mention of occultism which was common during this time. Towards the latter half of the story, Nellie became possessed by the spirit of Phillip's mother while pretending to be an occultist, and it came without preamble. Not that it isn't a welcome addition to the flavor of the story, it just felt like a sore thumb because the premise leading to it was missing.DARKE LONDON by Coleen Kwan is a relatively short historical romance novel with a well-drawn mystery that will keep the readers engaged. CKwan did a great job in setting up the series by planting the seeds of intrigue, mystery, forbidden romance, plot twists with just a hint of the paranormal bordering Uncanny Chronicles to spark interest and reach a wider range of audience. Julian has more stories to tell and CKwan more oddities to share. I'm sure the series is going to pick up momentum in the coming books because the pieces are now placed and the gears are moving.*copy received from the author in exchange for an honest review
