The Curious Case of Gwen Lacy

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Married and widowed was Gwen Lacy’s first stumble on her path and she has decided a different direction is needed. The world of monster hunting; popular amongst anyone with a blade at their hip and mouths hungry for coin. And what better than a case involving the rather gruesome deaths of noblemen. Armed with her usual wit, gargoyle familiar she “liberated” and a friend gifted in magical objects, Gwen is determined to prove her worth. Can she stand toe with toe with the hunter they call, the Lord of Beasts?

Prologue, The Story to Start It All

The moon hid her silvery visage from the scene below.Trees trembling in fear and their dark shadows did little to conceal thedarting shape of a person. Terror etched on their face, the colour drippingaway like that of the sweat pouring down. Fingers scratched by branches andbrambles as they passed. Breath inhaled like a shot,legs spent of energy. They tripped, weight and senses blinded taking them down.The ground kissed them hard, clots of dirt thrown upwards. Running steps thensomething large skidded, their arrival crested by a rising wave of dust. Behindthe dark curtain of night, red eyes loomed from a height impossible large.

“Red Hood,” a voice called out, the words strangelymisaligned on their mouth and a deep almost beastly growl vibrated through theair. “Little red hood, where do you hide when you have yet to see my teeth.”

My Blacksmith Savior

Farial-Jap-Girl: なんて素敵で、予想もしなかった読書体験なんでしょう! これは間違いなく、ありきたりな恋愛小説ではありません。むしろ、そうじゃないことに感謝したいくらいです。登場人物たちがとてもリアルに感じられるんです。欠点があって、複雑で、情熱的で、人間らしい「白か黒かでは割り切れない」魅力的なグレーの部分に満ちています。怒りや支配、愛、そして怒りの赤い霧に飲み込まれそうになったときに、別の道を選ぶ可能性を描いているところも、とても好きでした。でも正直、一番の驚きは、この本がとにかく楽しく読めたこと! 作者はヒロインの声を見事に描き出していて、私はすっかり別の時代、別の場所へ連れ去られたような気分になりました...
