This was an OK read, nothing ground-breaking, with a very predictable and pretty anticlimactic, supernatural "twist". I liked the historical aspect and Joan as a character. Melissa, however, is utterly annoying and somewhat irredeamable in my eyes. How she doesn't face any consequences for her actions is infuriating and it's never brought up at the end of the novel. I really don't see what message the author was trying to send with her character choice.
