Finished reading Deadman: Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love, writer Sarah Vaughn brings Deadman centre stage as he finds himself trapped inside a haunted house that brings with it a murder mystery that has gone unsolved for centuries. The book opens with a woman named Berenice getting a lift home, Glencourt Manor by her friend Sam after a day at an antiques show. At the house Berenice notices Deadman entering it thanks to her ability to see ghosts, however Deadman finds himself trapped within the manor by some powerful magic. This leads to Deadman and Berenice to work together in order to find Boston a way out while also dealing with a strange ghostly being in the manor as this leads to the two meeting the ghost of one of the first residents of the house, Adelia Ruskin. Overall this was a great book as it gives Deadman is own spotlight of a story where he shears being the main lead withBerenice that surprisingly gives both a great amount of development. The book itself works extremely well for new readers by introducing all the cast before Deadman in order to give each character their own background and to set the story into motion without having to stop and introduce characters later on. The art throughout the book is great as not only does it capture the aesthetic of a haunted house story with Deadman and Adelia's character designs along with the design for the locations house itself and the nearby town still feel apart of the same world while also having their own unique feel. 8.5/10.
