Slippery Creatures by KJ Charles
5.0
Coming at you this fine Sunday with another emotional support historical reread. I love this series so damn much. I’m not even sure how many times I’ve reread it at this point (I didn’t start meticulously tracking my rereads until a couple months ago).
This is peak KJ Charles. The series is an ode to 1920s pulp fiction with a shadowy nemesis and an overarching plot that carries throughout the entire series. It’s funny and snarky and hot and the characters are fully formed and complex.
What I really love about this book is that in addition to the romance and intrigue, you get some insights into postwar 1920s London along with glimpses of feminism, race relations, classism, and the economic hardships of those coming back from the trenches. It really is an amazing book. Absolutely 100 million stars.
