Nothing goes better with tea and crumpets than corpses and monsters.

************

Just when Trinket thought the madness involving the mutant wolf was over, she and Booker stumble upon a new atrocity: a dead woman with bird talons sewn to her fingers. Convinced that his long-lost childhood friend is responsible, Booker throws himself into the investigation.

However, as more mutilated bodies begin to surface, Trinket worries that Booker's friend has crossed the line from mad scientist to cold-blooded murderer. While trying to keep Booker from going down the same path, she soon discovers that her formerly professional relationship with him is changing into something more.

But with her past sins still fresh in her mind, Trinket fears that getting closer to Booker could lead to more blood on her hands.

Maybe even his.

It's JANE EYRE meets FRANKENSTEIN in this YA mystery series with a steampunk flair.

Sequel to THE WOLF WITH THE IRON JAW.

As she comes closer to learning the truth, she wonders how much longer she can keep her employer in the dark about her unforgivable sins.

Sanctified by slumberingtales

"I never feared death... until I saw you." ~•~•~ Samuel gazed up at her from beneath his dark brow. The many scars that littered his chest, made her heart ache for him. Had anyone cared for him when these wounds were fresh? "You are staring again." He commented, his voice neutral. Eden swallowed, biting her lip anxiously, "And you are shirtless." She replied, her voice equally as monotone. "Aye, I am." He nodded, "But that is not why you stare." "I do not stare with pity if that is what you are suggesting." She quipped, "I have seen enough pity in my life I would never put that upon anyone else." "Yet still you stare." His green eyes appeared to sparkle as his lips curled into a knowing smirk, "You may not know why little flower, but you are staring all the same." ~•~•~ Samuel Cairn was a formidable warrior, his hands stained with blood and his soul marked and scarred. Years ago he put down his sword and sought the peace of the church. Taking up a house on the lands of a nunnery, he utilized his skills to hunt and provide fresh food for the secluded nuns of the St. Maurice Abbey.

On an annual camping trip with her boyfriend Blake, brother Neil, and his wife Holly, Aggie is captured and dragged away by a larger-than-life primitive beast with distinctly large feet: a Bigfoot. Never in her life did Aggie think she would come face-to-face with such a creature having lived her life believing they were only myth. While Blake and Neil’s friends and family begin to find a way to recover Aggie from the depths of the woods and remove her from the danger of this unknown primitive animal, Aggie finds herself becoming attached to the sasquatch, and even gives him the name Henry. She sees that, despite all that has been said about Bigfoots, Henry is definitely not the stereotypical Bigfoot. He has life and an almost humanoid personality. Henry’s attraction to Aggie expands to the point where she is questioning his calm disposition… It could turn out that Agatha Pierce’s attempts to go against the socially acceptable come back to haunt her in the end…
