Reach for this book when your teenager is looking for a strong sense of agency and enjoys deconstructing mysteries using both logic and intuition. It is particularly effective for readers who feel like outsiders or who are navigating the complexities of female friendship and intellectual competition. Set in a reimagined Victorian London, the story follows the nieces of Sherlock Holmes and Bram Stoker as they investigate a fraudulent spiritualist and a rising vampire threat. The book balances gothic suspense with themes of grief and the search for truth in a world of deception. It is ideal for readers aged 12 and up who appreciate a mix of historical atmosphere, steampunk technology, and supernatural action. Parents will appreciate how the protagonists rely on their unique skills, Mina's analytical mind and Evaline's physical prowess, to solve problems rather than waiting for rescue.
