I loved this book! The author has an amazingly descriptive voice that wove magic through every scene, vividly bringing the settings to life. A blend of mystery, light supernatural and romance, it was a perfect balance presented with the brooding aspect of gothic London. I thought the writing was exceptional, and the hero and heroine are equally excellent characters.Julian Darke is a doctor who was adopted as an infant. His murky past has always been a source of discontent as he struggles to understand why he was abandoned. Nellie has been disfigured by a vicious attack which Julian witnesses. The issues each faces eventually intertwine, causing conflict and setting the stage for increased danger. The romance between them unfolds at a perfect pace and is sweetly and satisfyingly done.If I have any quibble at all, I wish the story had been longer. I hated to see such a good tale end so soon!
