'When it comes to the Wyrde, there is no such thing as harmless. Every single one of us is a walking disaster.' Winter has come to Werth Towers, and brought a deal of trouble with it. Not that any of it is the fault of Miss Gussie Werth. To be a one-woman catastrophe might be seen as a misfortune, but really, there can be no hope of a cure. What with murderous Books on the rampage, Lady Maundevyle brewing plans for Christmas, and a couple of dragons on the loose, a quiet life is not likely to be had.

I found Gussie really annoying at the beginning, but the story caught me up after a while. Great expansion of knowledge on many, many levels - Werth history, Theo's friends, the Bow Street Runners...good story. Looking forward to the next. ( )

This duo of ebooks is delightful frothy entertainment, Addams Family meets an alternative Regency England! Clever, non-sappy, and while there is attraction, no romance. Recommended for completely escapist reading entertainment. ( )
