De: Jordan L. Hawk

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

Monsters. Murder. Librarians.

Librarian Sebastian Rath is the only one who believes his friend Kelly O’Neil disappeared due to foul play. But without any clues or outside assistance, there’s nothing he can do to prove it.

When bookbinder Vesper Rune is hired to fill the vacancy left by O’Neil, he receives an ominous letter warning him to leave. After he saves Sebastian from a pair of threatening men, the two decide to join forces and get to the truth about what happened to O’Neil.

But Vesper is hiding secrets of his own, ones he doesn’t dare let anyone learn. Secrets that grow ever more dangerous as his desire for Sebastian deepens.

Because Kelly O’Neil was murdered. And if Sebastian and Ves don’t act quickly enough, they’ll be the next to die.

A JLH book

I love the recurring characters at times, and I now too, have a soft spot for Noct. He must be protected at all times.
I see also, the inspiration from Undertow 😉😋😏 Putting things to good use behind closed doors I see.

Love the whole Whiddershins series!

I've Whiddershins novels and have never been disappointed! Love, romance, lovecraftian, spooky, funny, adventurous, and fun.

Widdershins' Library

First, it's Joel Leslie. It's read well and well paced.

Next, it is Jordan L. Hawk's strange little town of Widdershins, Massachusetts. You don't need to have finished the W&G series to enjoy the book. I didn't love the Whyborne and Griffin narrator, so I didn't make it past the first few chapters of Fallow, but I didn't have any trouble following the events here. That said, you'd probably benefit from the world building in at least the first book in that series. I recommend reading it though.

I loved both Ver and Sebastian. I loved Sebastian's sister and her passle of happy children. I laughed aloud at "A wife in every port and a husband on every ship." I am absolutely shipping Miss Endicott and Nocturne. Tentacles are awesome.

I'll definitely read the next when it is released. Recommend.

Keeps you wanting more!

Listened to the audiobook and loved it. Joel does an amazing performance, distinct characters difined by his narration.
I must admid, I didn't enjoy the first series, this is a spin off from it, and only read the first book.
This one I enjoyed a lot, I was really swept into the story and could not put it down.
The characters are interesting, the plot twists and has just the right amount of suspence and mystery to keep you engaged but not to the point of anxiety.
It had just the rigtht amount of romance and heat too, not overpowering the story.

LOVED IT

There's so much I loved about this. The historical setting of Halley's Comet's visibility, and the hysteria that surrounded it. The trans allegory a la X-Men. The library setting. The nerdy-hot characters. And who knew I'd be into m/m monster/human sex. Welp. Guess I found a new genre.

Joel Leslie is fantastic as usual, except for the painful Boston-esque accent he attempts for Sebastien. That was uneccessary.
