Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale

2.0

---

A combination of detective story and romance between a descendant of demons and a member of the Inquisition sounds like it should be a good story, but Wicked Gentlemen falls down in the execution. It reads like fragments of a longer book, complete with leaps in logic and weird digressions (nearing what should be the climax of the tale, the POV character stops to have a long conversation with a baker for no reason.) The introspection of the characters and lack of decent world-building makes the whole story feel muted and slightly maddening.
