About this eBook

Introducing Tessa Preston in this Jane Austen meets ghost hunters short story

Approximately 5,500 words.

For fans of Charlie N. Holmberg, Olivia Atwater, Tilly Wallace, and C. J. Archer!

In this short story, the fashionable and eccentric dowager Dame Hartwell has lured the reclusive Miss Tessa Preston to attend her drawing room séance. If Dame Hartwell can't convince Miss Preston, her former protégé, to return as her medium-in-residence, she doesn't know how she will protect her son and his new fiancé from the brewing storm of malcontent spirits surrounding them.

"Miss Preston's Predicament" is a short story between novels by Belinda Kroll. This story can be read as a standalone... but it includes characters and references events from her full-length historical fantasy novel, Haunting Miss Trentwood, the first book in the Hesitant Mediums series.

Truly, we suggest you read Haunting Miss Trentwood first, but understand you must do what you must.

Read this story for a fun, light read featuring gaslamp fantasy, Victorian comedy of manners, and plucky feminine ghost hunter a la Pride & Prejudice and Zombies.

This one is short and sweet and a very fun book to read. Caught up in a séance held by Dame Hartwell Tessa Preston and her uncle encounter a bit of a problem and oh the outcome was interesting. This was so entertaining. This is the first book by Belinda Kroll that I have read but trust me it will not be the last.

this was a great short story in the hesitant mediums series, the characters had what I enjoyed from the first book and left me ready for the second book. The plot does what I wanted it was really well done. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
