Beneath a Waning Moon

A Duo of Gothic Romances

By: Elizabeth Hunter, Grace Draven

Narrated by: Gabrielle Baker

Two delightfully dark tales of Gothic romance from Elizabeth Hunter and Grace Draven.

In A Very Proper Monster, Josephine Shaw spends long nights filling the pages of her Gothic stories with the fantastic and the macabre, unaware that the suitor her father has arranged is one of the dark creatures she's always dreamed. For Tom Dargin, courting an ailing spinster was only one duty in a long life of service to his sire. But after he meets the curious Miss Shaw, will Tom become the seducer or the seduced? Can a love fated to end in tragedy survive a looming grave?

In Gaslight Hades, Nathaniel Gordon walks two worlds - that of the living and the dead. Barely human, he's earned the reputation of a Bonekeeper, the scourge of grave robbers. He believes his old life is over, until one dreary burial he meets the woman he once loved and almost married. Lenore Kenward stands at her father's grave, begging the protection of the mysterious guardian, not knowing he is her lost love. Resolved to keep his distance, Nathaniel is forced to abandon his plan and accompany Lenore on a journey into the mouth of Hell where sea meets sky, and the abominations that exist beyond its barrier wait to destroy them.

Enjoyable

No, the book is interesting. I love the way Elizabeth Hunter writes, and I didn't kinow Grace yet, but I like too.
The two short stories are amazing. I like a lot.

Unexpected Treasure ❤️

I bought this book for Grace Draven, having never heard of Elizabeth Hunter. What a beautiful surprise Elizabeth turned out to be! And as always, Gabrielle Baker's narration brought me to tears and laughter. I will be forever grateful to Grace Draven for introducing me to another wonderful author.

very fun!

Fabulous stories. Great performance, my only whine is that for the first story, Gabrielle has so many pauses that it became distracting. Maybe she was portraying the tuberculosis of the heroin that way but I felt like it was too often. For Gaslight Hades she was much smoother. I had a bunch of fun with both stories.

Double Bonus

2 of my favorite authors write deeply romantic, very imaginative stories. Don't miss this treat.

Couldn't get passed the first two chapters

It is VERY seldom I have to return a book. Especially one that is part of a series I fully enjoy. I will persevere thru the worst of them if at all possible, but this switch in narrator from Dina Pearlman to Gabrielle Baker was something I couldn't deal with. It completely changed all the known characters for me and I felt like I was in being read to by the school librarian. Plus, she has a very pronounced lisp which was just too distracting to overlook. I will have to put this one on kindle and read it instead.
