hesitancy from Whyborne.I listened to the audiobook, which was both good and bad I always like hearing the story come to life but this wasn t my favorite narration First of all, the quality of the audiobook wasn t as great as others It sounded faintly crackly and slightly echoey at times, as if the equipment wasn t top notch quality Also, the narrator didn t have enough differentiation between his voices I lik...HOLY COW Well, I had heard some really great things about this book and it comes recommended by some amazing readers and writers so duh I had a feeling it was going to be GOOD.I just had NO IDEA my own fault I should be paying closer attention how action packed, SCARY, skin crawl inducing, heart pounding it would be This is not some sweet, quiet, historical romance Not even close This has death, and afterlife, and grave sites, and occult practices, and SCARY CHARACTERS and at numerous time HOLY COW Well, I had heard some really great things about this book and it comes rec...3.65 stars rounded upThis book is a historical Victorian era paranormal adventure romance What I like Despite it being historical a genre I usually stay away from , the plot is quite adventure heavy as Percival and Griffin try to uncover mysterious cultists and evil sorcerers and terrifying monsters It also involves museum setting which is something I truly like Night at the Museum, people Love that movie lol There is character development too which I always fully appreciate 3.65 stars rounded upThis book is a historical Victorian era paranormal adventure romance What I like Despite it
