Currently Reading:
The White Forest by Adam McOmber: Young Jane Silverlake lives with her father in a crumbling family
estate on the edge of Hampstead Heath. Jane has a secret—an
unexplainable gift that allows her to see the souls of man-made
objects—and this talent isolates her from the outside world. Her
greatest joy is wandering the wild heath with her neighbors, Madeline
and Nathan. But as the friends come of age, their idyll is shattered by
the feelings both girls develop for Nathan, and by Nathan’s interest in a
cult led by Ariston Day, a charismatic mystic popular with London’s
elite. Day encourages his followers to explore dream manipulation with
the goal of discovering a strange hidden world, a place he calls the
Empyrean. A year later, Nathan has vanished, and the famed
Inspector Vidocq arrives in London to untangle the events that led up to
Nathan’s disappearance. As a sinister truth emerges, Jane realizes she
must discover the origins of her talent, and use it to find Nathan
herself, before it’s too late.
