I love Garrett and Perry so much! I love this little novella introduction to them and the Nighthawks before we read their book. I caught so much more this time around than I did the first time I read it.
Original Thoughts- 11/9/2014-
This novella is setting the stage for the next book which makes me excited! I can't wait to learn more about Garrett and Perry! I especially want to know Perry's backstory and how she became a blue blood.

This is a novella set three years before the events of the rest of the London Steampunk series. In it, Nighthawk partners Garrett Reed and Perry Lowell work together on a case involving a missing theatre actress who may or may not have been abducted. Perry, the only other known female blueblood (vampire) has been in love with her partner for years, without ever really being bothered by jealousy, despite knowing that Garrett is a ladies' man. Now, seeing him flirt openly on the case, she has trouble keeping herself focused, which leads to conflict between the two, and causes complications during the investigation. In the story, Perry is abducted and nearly drowns and determined never to lose track of her again, Garrett gifts her with a dagger containing a tracking device, making her promise to keep it with her always. Said tracking device becomes significant in [b:Forged by Desire|17901769|Forged by Desire (London Steampunk, #4)|Bec McMaster|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386723502s/17901769.jpg|25077771].
