Ghosts, mysteries, and a new threat in London

The second Shades of London novel places Rory Deveaux between two mysteries: the consequences of her changed abilities and a series of unexplained deaths she believes are connected. Set against her life at boarding school, the story links supernatural danger with an investigation involving London’s secret ghost-policing squad. Rory’s evidence gives the case a personal stake, while the series’ blend of ghost lore and detective elements remains central. The book builds on events from the first installment, so its premise is closely tied to Rory’s earlier encounters and the changes they brought.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in supernatural mysteries.
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining ghostly elements with detective investigations.
  • Those considering the second book in the Shades of London series.

A new threat haunts the streets of London . . .

Rory Deveaux has changed in ways she never could have imagined since moving to London and beginning a new life at boarding school. As if her newfound ability to see ghosts hadn't complicated her life enough, Rory's recent brush with the Jack the Ripper copycat has left her with an even more unusual and intense power. Now, a new string of inexplicable deaths is threatening London, and Rory has evidence that they are no coincidence. Something sinister is going on, and it is up to her to convince the city's secret ghost-policing squad to listen before it's too late.
