Thank god I bought the box set of these because after reading book 1 (this one), I was able to dive straight into book 2. #GayVictorianFantasy is my new favourite hashtag! This includes KJ Charles and Sarah Monette for me, and I'd be very grateful for any other references you have to share with m...
This book brought me disproportionately enjoyment for its download price of 0.99, as well as the discovery of the genre of Lovecraftian Romance (Who knew? Eldritch horrors, Victorian ambiance, purple prose, hidden passion!) All is not well is the creepy New England town of Widdershins, MA. Dashi...
Griffin wants a perfect Valentine's Day. However, he is Griffin, and his boyfriend is Whyborne, so we all know that Valentine's Day is not going to run smoothly. It made me smile, a lot, and it was fun to read something from Griffin's POV. He comes across as sweet, scared and so absolutely unsure...
3.5I'm stuck between a 3 and a 4 on this one. It's not quite a 4, but it's better than a lot of books I've given 3s to. I think my seesaw-opinion comes from it being a fine book, but grating on my personal nerves. It is well written and well edited; no complaints on that front. I'll definitely be...
I little more action in this one and a little more angst. I can't say this was a high four for me be it was entertaining to watch Grey get all grumpy about not getting to feed and confused about the possibility of not getting sex either. John and Caleb become the typical couple that don't talk ...
4.5 stars. This book is where I went from just liking this series to loving it. The plot was satisfying, but the final confrontation with the incubus at an abandoned lighthouse included several marvelous twists, one of which brings the relationship between Caleb and John and Gray to new levels of...
Review for entire spectr series--a fun end to a fantastic reading year. This is a difficult series for me to review, and I've decided not to rate it until I've had some more time to mull.Unequivocally: Jordan L Hawk has a brilliant, creative mind with a fantastic grasp of plot and characterizatio...
My mind still half-fogged with sleep, I froze, my heart leaping with a blind panic because I snuggled against Griffin’s back. Then memory caught up: we were expected to be in bed together in this freezing, rough place. And the other voice belonged to Iskander, who would not think our close contac...
A long list of men scrolled past, all of whom had answered her newest profile on yet another dating site. She hadn’t left the apartment since coming across the trail of the monster hunting her. A shiver ran through her at the memory, and she plucked at the layers of blankets wrapped around her sh...
Dr. Hart thundered. “Unacceptable, do you hear me?” “Yes, sir,” I said in the direction of the blotter on his desk. Miss Parkhurst echoed the sentiment from the chair beside me. I felt like a schoolboy dragged before the headmaster. Dr. Hart’s day had already been ruined by one of his staff going...
“The man has done some appallingly stupid things before,” she said. “I pointed out, tactfully, this Hallowe’en nonsense was a job for the curators and having two senior staff members work on it was absurd.” I suspected her idea of tact simply meant she hadn’t yelled at him. Or not yelled at him m...
The day was overcast, and the air still held a chill this time of year, but sweat filmed his skin and stuck his shorts to his butt. He hadn’t gone running anywhere but on a treadmill for a while—since Caleb came into his life, actually. He’d gone almost five minutes without thinking about Caleb o...
He’d meant to start packing for the trip back to Baltimore, but the sight of his clothes hanging alone in the clothespress sent him reeling to the bed. He’d gotten used to having Vincent’s shirts beside his in the wardrobe above the shop. But all he would ever see again would be what he beheld in...
The alley was a narrow slot with bars and businesses on one side, and historic residences on the other. During the day, it was probably a popular cut-through, but at night very little light filtered in from the main thoroughfares.Caleb sat tense in the passenger seat, staring out the window with ...
