Ross’ The Daemoniac kicks off the Gaslamp Gothic series, and introduces us to Harry and Weston. Harry’s sister, Myrtle, is away on a case and when clients come calling, Harry decides she and Weston will look into it instead. Harry wants to join the Society for Psychical Research and hopes solving this case is a way to garner attention. 

I finally got around to reading the first book in this series! And then waited too long to write a good review… thanks to a failing mind. No matter! This was a great story, as all of them have been. I enjoyed seeing the beginning of how Harry got into SPR. The spiritualism aspect was pretty cool. It’s a topic I find fascinating. I think I kinda combine Harry and Weston’s beliefs. I’m very open-minded, but skeptical until I can prove or disprove something to my satisfaction. As with the other books, I adored the Sherlockian influences, and especially that Harry contacted Conan Doyle about spiritualism. Looking forward to reading The Thirteenth Gate soon, and the latest in the series is due out shortly. Yay! Needless to say, I highly recommend this, and any other, book by Kat Ross.
