A sweet little novella set in 19th century Brighton, England.

Photographs & Phantoms is pretty much your standard romance short story. There is the girl with the problem, in this case a ghost that seems to target clients she takes photographs of, and there is the awesome-wizard-guy that comes to save her. And while he's playing Superinvestigator, they fall in love.

The mystery was actually pretty good, I liked how everything came together in the end. Although I think the ending was quite abrupt, I would have liked to see a few more pages about the how's and why's.

While being advertised as a steampunk romance, this book was a little bit too light on the steampunk references for my taste. This book could just as well been set in the "ordinary" 19th century, it wouldn't have changed a thing. Luckily, I like normal historical novels too, so this was an entertainingly quick afternoon's read.

I gave this book a 3 star review on Shelfari. I gave it 3 stars because it seemed a little forced in the romance part. Plus, the whole book took place in 2 days. I wish the author had stretched it out a little bit and took longer to find the villain. I did like the fact that the author combined historical romance and supernatural together

Would I reccomend this book to a friend/relative? Yes. I would. It was a great, fun read.
