It was clear in that book that Geneva’s brother Connor was in love with Wink but it was equally as obvious she considered him another sibling. Geneva Mackay, a daughter and a sister of Knights (men with supernatural abilities descended from the original Knights of the Round Table), assist a wounded Scottish laird. When we last we saw Wink it was in Kilts & Kracken where she and her family/friends were helping Dr. Moonlight & Mechanicalsis the fourth book in the Gaslight Chronicles, finally focusing on the spunky and incredibly gifted engineer, Winifred Hadrian aka Wink, and the werewolf detective she’s yearned for since she was fifteen, Liam McCullough. Granted, you’re stuck if you don’t have an ereader or enjoy audio books, but with so many romance readers using their Kindles and Nooks, I would imagine Pape’s audience is still potentially broad. It’s not a secret that I love Steampunk and Gaslight ( check out my post – focusing on Pape’s Gaslight Chronicles – for a better understanding of the difference between these two related subgenres) and Cindy Spencer Pape is a highly talented author who offers readers an outstanding value as her wonderful novels usually retail between $2 and $5. I really love reading about the Hadrian family and hope future novels in this series follow those children as they find their place in life and find their perfect match.Moonlight & Mechanicals ( Gaslight Chronicles #4) by Cindy Spencer Pape ( Carina Press, October 22, 2012)
Overall this book was good enough the keep me slogging through the mediocre novellas to get to the next full length third book. Mostly I just loved getting to read about the Hadrian family again. The characters are well done, I loved the mystery around the missing people and the mechanical men. This makes a great second book to the series.
I do wish however that the novellas had been labeled as just that (novella additions to supplement the series) rather than separate books. This book does draw in a lot of characters both from book 1 and the interem novellas. All the books in this series have had excellent narration. I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was very well narrated. I loved following Wink and her adventures and watching her and Liam work together. This is what I thought this series was going to be when I finished book 1. This book follows Wink, one of the orphans from the first book in this series. This is the fourth story in the Gaslight Chronicles and the second full length book.
Wink's story, better than the previous novellas
