The Rat-Catcher's Daughter by KJ Charles
3.0
A cog jumping in the brain, a thing going wrong. It didn’t make any sense to stare at a stranger and think, ‘Yes, oh yes.’
3.5 stars. Short stories rarely do much for me these days, especially if it's about completely new-to-me characters. But I still really liked this, despite the shortness. A really sweet historical ace love story between a cabaret singer and a fence. There's a lot of ugliness surrounding Stan and Christiana, but they themselves are so lovely to read about. And I'm VERY glad I read this series in publishing order rather than chronological order. The Lilywhite Boys make appearances here, and I loved them soooo much, more so because I already knew them.
A great, quick, diverting read.
