This is the second in the Swor Soldier Series and follows Lt. Alex Easton's travels and experience with "innocent monsters," as Easton kaself put it.
The story is fast-paced, which is at odds with how late the real gothic horror action takes place, as opposed to What Moves the Dead, which got into the creep-factor right from the getgo.
Once the first-hand horror starts, it is very well done and is an amazing concept; there just wasn't enough of it and earlier in the plot.
I don't know if Kingfisher will continue the series, but I will be on the lookout. While "Feasts" doesn't have the same punch as "Moves," it's still enjoyable and one I will listen to again.

pros: angus and miss potter are cute. easton continues to be a grounded protagonist that takes you with kan. the creepy imagery. when it finally showed up, did not disappoint.
cons: the monster reveal didn’t come until much later, and it concluded fairly quickly even for a novella. maybe i just wasn’t in the mood for a slow burn horror right this second, but i did have a good time

I noted the diversity as "complicated" because I'm unsure of the exact races of the characters, aside from one being British, but the main character is a lesbian. She does not get involved in any relationship and it's only mentioned briefly.blacksphinx's review against another edition
