I have read all four of the books in the series.  This one was by far the best.  It blends the action, emotion and paranormal very well.  I cared about the characters, got into the story line and couldn't put it down.  And then there were the following three books.  The secondPhotographs & Phantoms (The Gaslight Chronicles), and third,Kilts & Kraken (The Gaslight Chronicles)were just too damn short and didn't have ANY of the characters in the first book. It was also the same storyline over and over again.As follows: **Spoiler alert** Bachelor will never marry, woman wants her independence and asks the hero to have sex with her cause she's tired of hanging on to her V-card.  Somehow the sex and "danger" of the story makes them fall in love - FAST and now they can't live without each other.  The stories are just so short that there's no character or plot development.  It's just going through the motions.  I get that authors wanna get paid for their stories - and that short stories still sell...but take some pride in the piece please.  Especially because we are the ones paying for them.  The fourth installment ofMoonlight & Mechanicals (The Gaslight Chronicles)is a little better.  I cared more about the characters because I actually got to meet them in the first book.  I felt like I was invested in the story this time, but it was slow and kinda stalled out in the middle.  There were no breaks in the "case" for a VERY LONG TIME.  Just pages upon pages of searching and coming up empty handed.  Also, once again the female main character asks the male main character to have sex with her.  Seriously?  Can we have a little variety in the storylines please?  So over all - read the first one.  Skip the 2nd and 3rd and read the fourth with patience.
