This was great :) Paranormal wrapped in a historical setting, with a gothic feel to it :) A new combination for me, and I really liked it :)The beginning reminded me of "A Rose in winter", it's very similar, both heroes wear masks and are rumored to be vicious murderers. In both novels they pretty much force the heroine to marry them, there was actually an identical scene where they eat at his house after the wedding, actually she eats and he doesn't because of his mask, it was like, identical.Miranda Ellis' life is not what she dreamed of. Instead of going to balls, falling in love, she has to steal so that she could support herself and her father.She is so tired of it all, but when the opportunity comes to change it, she's not delighted. You see, her way out includes marriage to a man most people are terrified of. After all, no innocent man wanders around town masked.Marries him she does, but all the while she feels that there's something good about her husband, or so she tries to
Thank you to Sam, Joanna, Isabella, and Bubu for reading this recently and filling my feed with their reviews. It's thanks to you lovelies that I finally checked this out, instead of just aimlessly pushing it up and down my tbr, and I am so glad I did. FIREFLIGHT was awesome.Also, randomly, I clearly didn't look into this series beyond being a fan of the author and seeing it was paranormal historical because I totally thought it was a series based around the same couple. (insert facepalm here)"I
Unique, exciting, poignant, thrilling, sexy, funny, romantic these are the words Id use to describe Firelight, and yet, its so much more! I cant really compare it to anything else Ive read and it cant be lumped into a single genre because in this first installment of the Darkest London series, author Kristen Callihan gives us the beauty of historical romance along with the dark, edginess of paranormal and the magic of fantasy. All of these elements combined have made this one of the best series

Huge 5 stars!Wow! This book is superbly written, with jaw dropping plots, that will have you turning the pages to get answers. It's evocative, romantic and the sexual tension is off the charts, guaranteed to leave you breathless and weak at the knees. Here's a little teaser:Archer's finger grazed hers. "I feel you. As if you were connected to me by an invisible string." He touched his chest. "I feel you here. In my heart."She couldn't think past the mad pounding of her blood. She swallowed
4.5 stars. Not what I expected, but a great read all the same! I first heard of this debut book a few months ago and was instantly intrigued that it is a PNR series set in historical London 1880's. So when I noticed Netgalley had it I immediately requested it. This book paints a vivid picture of a darker Gothic London, one plagued with cut throats and thieves, fathers who sell their daughters for a tidy sum, and cunning men willing to risk damnation of their very souls.
