The couple was lacking something before they found true love and their love makes them better people. He also faced many fears in behalf of his lover and, on this point, their kind of romance reminded me the ones that my goddess Ava March writes. And the same goes to Griffin: he may have been at ease and chatty, but has his own ghosts, some of them far worse than Whyborne’s. I could never imagine his blossoming through the story, how his love for Griffin made him braver and confident. At first, I thought Whyborne too shy, to neurotic and afraid of breathing don’t get me wrong, it’s an accurate description. As I had stated previously on this post, I was sure I would love Whyborne and Griffin simply because I can’t imagine a world where I would not like a character built by Hawk. And this is a freaking book series, where any loose ends were forgivable! =O I didn’t find any loose ends on the mystery os even the characters, for that matter. It was simply brilliant and completely connected. We second-guessed Griffin’s amour intentions, saw the double face of the truth and watched as Whyborne had to develop to solve the case. Not the case at all! The fact that we could only live the drama through Whyborne’s eyes made it all more interesting. I often find it to be lacking in the story and limiting. If you follow the blog for a while, you know that this is not my preferred narrative style. It all started with the narrative style: first person thought the eyes of Whyborne. So, I was prepared for a wonderful writing style and awesomely built characters.īut nothing prepared me for Whyborne and Griffin. I have already read two books from Jordan, both in the Spirits series: Restless Spirits and Dangerous Spirits ( review here!). Just remembering that those were my impressions and opinion as a reader 🙂 The thing is that both Whyborne and Griffin will have to decide whether their heated relationship have more to meet the eye or will be over as soon as they finish up the case. Now both men have to work aside each other to prevent humanity of collapsing in the hands of a very old secret society with a very lively founder. That is, until nosy and charming detective Griffin Flaherty invaded his life and dragged him into a very obscure and dangerous mystery. A quiet and awkward academic, his work at the Ladysmith Museum and his studies of several dead languages (13 spoken, but he could read more) were enough to occupy his thoughts and his empty existence. Percival Endicott Whyborne wanted nothing more of life in general. My dearest chosen was the first book in the Whyborne & Griffin series from the awesome Jordan L. Hello, there! Despite the awful beginning of the day with the news about Alan Rickman’s death (Rest In Peace, dear Alan!), life must continue and I’m happy to say that I took refuge in a wonderful book to sooth my sorrow.
