Hattie's character is so complex and relatable, despite her flaws and arrogance, you can't help but root for her.I loved how the author explored the theme of memory and identity - it's a real page-turner

When the taxi was ready for the journey, Hattie could not remember her destination. She was at a spooky mansion and didn’t know why. She was sent to Vamelda, the psychic. Together, they unravel her memory gaps. The memories aren’t as pretty as they can be! Readers are in for some paranormal activity, romance, and mystery.

This novel has a bit of plot twists and a mix of genres, so your review clarified the book style for me. The author displays a vivid imagination and spins numerous twists and turns with lots of action, suspense, and mystery. With old-timey British humour and the paranormal in the mix, I would rate this as a more gothic version of Agatha Christie novels.

I like novels where character development is predominant. I would love to explore the shades of Hattie's character and how it progresses from the beginning till the end of the novel.

The complexity of Hattie's character development, from a wealthy and arrogant woman to someone more self-aware and open to change, is a central theme in "Hattie Vavaseur." This evolution is well-crafted and adds depth to the narrative, making her journey of self-discovery and memory recovery compelling and relatable. Nice review.

I'm captivated by the review of 'Hattie Vavaseur'! This 1920s-set mystery novel combines romance, paranormal elements, and suspense, with vivid imagination, humor, and great character development. I'm intrigued by the protagonist's transformation and the quirky psychic's humor. This fascinating story has been added to my future reading list!

I am impressed by the imaginative storytelling in Hattie Vavaseur. The third-person perspective allowed for a deep dive into Hattie's thoughts and feelings, making her journey of self-discovery engaging and relatable. The language used in the book beautifully mirrored the 1920s setting, adding authenticity to the narrative. Thanks for the lovely review. Well done.

It sounds like this book does have an interesting cast of characters. There's Hattie, who's suffering from memory problems in her old age, and Vamelda, a psychic who can truly see the dead (and who's sure to be my favorite). Thanks for the review!

Hattie Vavaseur has a great storyline. This book has an element of paranormal and romance genre to it. I'm curious what Hattie will discover about her past and what mysteries she'll solve. Congratulations on making botd!

This book is set in the 1920s and has a mix of romance, supernatural elements, and suspense. It also has lots of creativity, humor, and interesting characters. I enjoyed seeing the main character change and the funny psychic. I think this is a great story and I want to read it again in the future. Also, I like this review! :techie-studyingbrown:

Hattie Vavaseur sounds like an interesting and very likeable character. She is very cunning and intelligent at the same time.

I wonder what had happened to Hattie, why she can’t remember her past, and if someone is behind her predicament because she's wealthy and arrogant.

The concept of Hattie Vavaseur losing her memory and uncovering secrets in a spooky mansion has me hooked. I’m eager to read M. Rebecca Wildsmith’s vivid storytelling and experience the twists and turns firsthand. Congratulations on the Book of Today.
