Hannah Miles wants the kind of love her parents have. It a love that surpasses death. Unfortunately, she realizes it can never happen. Viscount Wycliff is an outcast in society and has no manners to speak of. When a murder of a servant at Hannah's best friend's engagement ball brings Wycliff into her life she must show him manners while he treats his suspects like monsters. Can they find a murderer before there are any more deaths? Can the quiet intelligent Hannah get Wycliff to show some manners?
Monsters and Manners is a unique take on the paranormal type of story. Like her Highland Wolves series, Tilly Wallace sets this story in a historical setting, when things like werewolves, mages, magic, and other unique humans were somewhat accepted because of their standing in the ton of England. The Monster and Manners series is also taking a departure from the Highland Wolves series by concentrating on the two main characters in more than one book. Hannah and Wycliff are back in the next installment of the series called Galvanism and Ghouls. I look forward to the unique and complicated lives of Hannah and Wycliff and what's in store for them next.
A lady never reveals the true extent of her decay...
Hannah Miles lives a quiet existence, helping her parents conduct research into a most terrible affliction - until a gruesome murder during her best friend's engagement party pulls her from the shadows. With her specialist's knowledge and demure disposition, Hannah is requested to aid the investigation.
Except Hannah discovers her role is to apologize in the wake of the rude and disgraced man tasked with finding the murderer. The obnoxious Viscount Wycliff thinks to employ Hannah purely as a front to satisfy Whitehall, but she'll have none of that.
The two must work together to find the murderer before the season is ruined. But the viscount is about to meet his greatest challenge, and it's not a member of the ton with a hankering for brains.
