Not really my cup of tea.
I love period dramas but found this one ho-hum, humdrum. And I don't mean that because of the dull colors of the set and costumes or the squalor of London residents and mill workers. I didn't really feel anything for most of the characters, except for the one suffering from the fatal lung ailment, and really could not get into it. I watched the entire series, though, because I was curious about it but it didn't really connect with me. I have not read the book that this series is based on so my judgment is in ignorance.
  
It was definitely a bad idea leaving so long between book 1 and 2 of this series as I couldn't remember much of what happened. I must have enjoyed the first though or I wouldn't have had this on my Amazon wish-list.

As mentioned above, I couldn't remember much other than the final showdown with Raoul so Shaz and Arys were almost new to me in this. I still managed to enjoy it, despite not remembering how or why she got bonded to Arys, though Shaz was rather self explanatory with his being Alexa's mate.

I don't think I'll be reading anymore of the series.

Cole McGinnis must be the only private investigator out there who will deal with the Koreans! No, seriously, I know that he has been approached because of his previous dealings!

The second in the series deals with more mystery and mayhem, with people getting shot at (and in some cases) and killed. Once again full of action, it did become harder to keep all the Korean names straight in my head, over who was who! Still, a very good addition to the series.

* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *
