Critiques en avant-première

This ARC is available in both PDF and MOBI file formats. The US edition of the first of the Lizzie Blaylock books, a strikingly original YA historical paranormal adventure from Seventh Rainbow Publishing. London, 1885. Thirteen-year-old Lizzie Blaylock from Waterloo starts experiencing what appear to be epileptic fits. Unbeknownst to her, these fits allow her to channel the spirits of the dead. Expelled from school and then abandoned by her own family, not only must Lizzie strive to keep a roof over her head, she must also learn to control her unusual power - as she cannot yet predict how, when, or why these episodes happen. But the strange and fascinating people she meets are determined to use Lizzie for their own ends, and soon she is drawn into a world of Victorian seances, mediums, ghost-grabbers…and murderers. 'Please!' Miss Otis wailed. 'Please! For the love of God, step back!' And suddenly the man did. A murmur ran through the crowd. 'Did you see that?' 'It looked like a hand!' 'No, not just a hand: an arm. I saw a whole arm!' 'A young girl’s arm!' 'Yes! Reaching right out of her! Out through the poor girl's chest!' 'You mustn't touch her!' Miss Otis screeched over the din. 'She is a bridge! She is a bridge and people will cross!' 'A bridge?' murmured Lady Caroline slowly. 'A bridge to the other side?' Light dawned in the big woman's eyes. 'Billy,' she whispered as she clawed her way out of her seat. And even as she dropped to her knees, something small and gray and shadowy was already rising out of my chest to greet her.
