I just finished 'The Flapper Affair' and really enjoyed it. It's the first fiction novel I've had a chance to sit down and read since I had my son 9 months ago. I also haven't read a paranormal book in so long I forgot how fun they are -- especially when you add the mystique of time travel.
I thought the writing was good and romantic and the pace went well. I was hooked after 50 pages or so. If you were ever a Christopher Pike fan back in the day (I was obsessed in the 90s as an early teenager) and the vibe felt similar to his writing. Especially my two favorites 'remember me' and 'see you later.' This is meant as a high compliment 😊
I also really liked how the novel intertwined the love story with the time travel. It felt believable and I definitely connected with the love of dance - probably even more so because of my own addiction to it.
A fun read!
Having much enjoyed the author’s short story compilation Ghostoria: Vintage Romantic Tales of Fright, I was excited to read her new novel The Flapper Affair.
I wasn’t disappointed. Both in and out of step with time, this book dances to its own tune. I love original tales where I’m truly not sure what’s going to happen, and I thought this story went from strength to strength. A love letter to the 1920s, it twists and turns, seductive and colorful characters waltzing you through what is at once an intriguing murder mystery and an absorbing paranormal romance.
Eduard and Mia experience the throes of teenage love while exploring the bounds of what’s possible and trying to set the past right. But what if setting things right means being ripped apart?
This book is a treat for anyone who likes historical romance with a difference. Executed with twist and flair, in turns playful and poignant, The Flapper Affair will keep you on your toes till the very last step.
