Another thrilling adventure in the gaslamp Fantasy series "The Gwen St. James Affair!" i think this is my favorite book so far of the entire series. technically a standalone, we get to see very deep insights into the Cutthroat King, and get to see a new angle from the fourth book in the main series! i never expected to love the cutthroat King as much as i do now, but man was it amazing! with the beautiful prose we've come to expect from Nicole McKeon, we also get to see how the underbelly of New London really works, and the lengths that the King will go to protect it. with enemies to lovers, touch her and die, mafia romance and yet another baddass female main character, i highly, highly recommend everyone read this book!
