LdDurham's review of Wicked Gentlemen
Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale
This was a good one. The book has two short stories and an epilogue. At first, I was disappointed that the first story ended and we moved away from the first person POV of Belimai, but the next story was even better.
My two gripes: a fade to black in the first story (I wanted to see! I'm a voyeur) and the abrupt ending. It wasn't a bad ending, just abrupt. I loved these characters and I wanted to be eased out of their lives, not dumped out.
Best part: Ginn Hale's sensual details that pull you right in. From the very first paragraph, her description of the night sky was wonderfully emotive. It wasn't heavily done, just perfectly placed throughout the story to get you right inside the character's skins, to feel, smell, see what they do. Excellent. Makes me envious of her skill.

Hey, I read this book. I picked it because it looked pretty; fantasy slash kind of thing. It wasn't everything that I hoped for. But the cover is still pretty.
