About this ebook

England, 1910

Monty thinks he may have found the man of his dreams—except he never dreamed that man would be a selkie. Determined to discover the origins of this gorgeous creature he discovered in Manchester Lake, and the selkie's mysterious fixation with Monty, the pair set out on a night of adventure. Their adventure is filled with silver-tongued Edwardian aristocrats, queer and haunting night clubs, and, most surprisingly of all, ghoulish agents of the occult. As the adventure deepens, and the mystery unfurls, Monty is forced to confront not only his new feelings of love but the consequences of heartbreak in his not-so-distant past. Long suppressed secrets threaten to explode in a firestorm of magic and passion—if Monty can survive until the dawn.

Ratings and reviews

When Monty and Bishop were in Paris both their lives were changed. Now three years later, their lives are going to change again. This is the first book I've read by this author but won't be my last. I really enjoyed this book.

Simply Sophisticated by and1515 I was truly mesmerized by this brilliant story and it definitely had an interesting flair to it; but it also gives you a glimpse into an era of highten sophistication, culture, and wide variety of unique characters. With a delicious side of naughtiness. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Joshua Ian can easily be captured by a witty turn of phrase or a low-bottomed electronic bassline. If you manage to combine the two, then you have his heart forever. He lives in New York City and writes mostly historical, speculative, and sci-fi/fantasy fiction but he does love a good mystery. He watches too many movies, eats too much dark chocolate, and falls into way too many Wikipedia rabbit holes– but it’s all in the name of research (or so he tells himself). One day he plans to travel the world - to see what each country has to offer in the way of movie theatres and dark chocolate, naturally.
