The Daughters of Temperance Hobbs

It reads like a more sophisticated Barbara Michaels, which isn't necessarily the highest compliment. Michaels lacked the academic respectability of Howe when it came to the underpinnings for the supernatural elements in her novels, but at the same time she was better at creating an aura of danger and interesting plot twists. There are no real twists in The Daughters of Temperance Hobbs, and several promising adjacent story lines never really go anywhere --- unless Howe is saving Verity and Chastity's for another book. I read it in one sitting, which means it did entertain. All in all, a good if not great read.
