Libba Bray's debut gothic novel A Great and Terrible Beauty (the first in a spellbinding trilogy) combines mysterious visions, dark family secrets and a long-lost diary that thrusts protagonist Gemma and her classmates back to confront the horrors of the spiritual world that followed her from India . . . 

“An interesting combination of fantasy, light horror, and historical fiction, with a dash of romance thrown in for good measure…Recommend this to fantasy fans who also like Sherlock Holmes or Mary Russell.” -- School Library Journal
