The adventure continues! I don’t remember when I stuck with a series for this long, but this is the fifth book and I’m still very much into it! This time the overarching story with the Faceless Man takes a backseat and Peter Grant is sent to the countryside to investigate the mysterious disappearance of two little girls. Nightingale conveniently has to stay back in London to guard Varvara Sidorovna, making room for another competent partner at Peter’s side: Beverly Brook, river goddess and love interest […]

Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
