Set in 1915 San Francisco, except more like 1950 (or perhaps 1940 minus the approach of war).

To be honest I was expecting some sort of historical YA fiction, pretty light, slightly paranormal, with a heavy accent on a love story.Instead this book is dark, sinister and gripping.

The beauty of DELIA'S SHADOW starts at the cover for me; haunting, rich, and mysterious. The concept of a haunting in history, pairing paranormal themes with the grace and politeness of turn of the century San Francisco was an irresistible lure.And while those promises were upheld, I struggled to f...

Delia’s Shadow intrigued me with a beautiful haunting cover and an interesting premise. After I first registered on NetGalley I went straight for this book because I knew it was my type of story. Ghosts, serial killer and historical setting - I couldn’t ask for more. It didn’t disappoint me and I’m ...

*This review is based on a advanced reader's copy of the book I won through Goodreads FirstReads Giveaways.* This book, is one part ghost story, one part mystery, one part thriller, and one part romance. The time period--1915, or nine years after the great quake destroyed San Francisco--is often t...
