Description In Pursuance Of Books The Medium (Emily Chambers Spirit Medium Trilogy #1)
Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her.Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love.
THE MEDIUM is the first book in the bestselling EMILY CHAMBERS SPIRIT MEDIUM TRILOGY.

This book was great... except for the way that the MC always needed saving. I mean it was set in the olden days but come on girl, be your own woman and save yourself...The Medium is about a girl who is literally a medium. She sees, communicates with and can summon ghosts. This is her living, and then one day her sister release a demon - accidentally - and she meets a ghost boy who's sent down to help recover the demon. She and ghost boy have the typical love story about the difficulties ofThis book suffers from what I always fear in my own writing - a great idea that isn't quite fleshed out enough. I loved the concept of this book, but I felt like it needed more.. more description, more time for the development of the story and, especially, more time for evolution of the romance. This story feels rushed, which is a shame because the ideas were so good!I think a good editor or even just a reader could have helped the author with suggestions that would have helped so much!
The MediumEmily Chambers Spirit Medium Series, Book 1By: C. J. ArcherNarrated by: Gemma DawsonThis was a great mystery, ghost story, romance, and more!

As a teen, with only her older sister, they make a living helping people. One day a handsome man comes as a warning, a demon has be set free due to something her sister said while holding a cursed necklace. Of course

Well, at least it was free so I didn't waste my money on this. The 1830's talks-to-ghosts heroine thinks and acts in anachronistic ways, the story hinges on the weakly and implausibly plotted release into the world of a killer smoke demon as the reason for her and her hunky dead guy detecting buddy to wander around talking to the same people over and over again and until the whole thing just peters out without a proper resolution.
Well, apparently ghosts are corporeal. Read for Halloween 2017 Reading Challenge - you guessed it, Ghost categorySeries: Yea. And this one is a bit of a cliffhanger. As in no real HEA action. Forwarned is forearmed. I wish I had paid enough attention. But enough of that. Sexy times: Not a onePlan on reading more by the author: hmmmmSynopsis Emily is, again, you guessed it, medium. She can talk to ghosts and she spends her time entertaining society ladies with seances and helping ghosts cross
This book plods along and doesn't ever really fulfill itself as a romance or a mystery. There was no real character development. I wasn't rooting for the main characters and their romance because honestly I found them to be annoying. I found myself just skimming the pages towards the end to just discover who the bad guy was. This was the only part of the book done well, the author doesn't wrap up the story in book one. However, it was a like eating an overly sweet dessert too sugary and
