I did not cry when I died. I screamed.

Please, let me tell you my story.

Elizabeth Archer. His assignment? To prove that the girl, able to manifest the spirit of Katie King,

is a fraud. As a scientist, Whitman assumes his job will be a piece of cake.



But nothing is as it seems,

especially when he falls in love with a ghost,

and one of the attendees is found dead.

[Gladys · Rating 5 out of 5]

The synopsis of Seance instantly gave me chills. A gothic tale set in 1873 London, with séances, a skeptical scientist, a forbidden love, and even a murder it sounds like the perfect mix of suspense, romance, and supernatural mystery. Inspired by real events, this promises to be both haunting and unforgettable.
