“I have enclosed for you a picture of a man with the head of a pig. I leave you to wonder at its significance.”

In Which Matilda Halifax Learns the Value of Restraint by Alexandra Vasti

July 31, 2024 by Nart Leave a Comment

The second novella in the Halifax Hellions series and another strong entry. Stuns me that Vasti gave these out for free, but what a way to whet our appetites for a full length novel. Plot: If you recall from the first novella, according to her sister Margo, Matilda had been basically abducted by an old man who had murdered his previous wife to be (forcibly?) married, then tortured at his distant Northern estate until death. Yikes. Now we get Matilda’s version. We find out that […]

“Jesus. He was talking to a cloak.”

In Which Margo Halifax Earns Her Shocking Reputation by Alexandra Vasti

July 29, 2024 by Nart Leave a Comment

Belligerent twin sisters who wreak havoc on the Ton for their amusement as their own form of protest against Society’s chokehold on women. Plot: Margo has carried the title of being one half of the Halifax Hellions for about 7 years now, since they were first introduced to society. Frankly, at this point it feels more like work than fun trying to keep thinking up new ways to outdo their previous shocking conduct. Just smoking a cheroot and tying cherry stems in knots won’t do […]

Ne'er Duke Well by Alexandra Vasti

July 8, 2024 by Emmalita 2 Comments

Peter Kent may have just become a Duke, but that doesn’t mean he is guaranteed to get custody of his younger half siblings, especially when the judge making that decision dislikes him for his radical abolitionist position. He decides to ask the smartest person he knows for help, but since she is the unmarried sister of an earl, he gets the earl and his wife involved as well. It becomes a whole family project. Selina Ravenscroft, the smartest person Peter Kent knows, decides he must […]
