The mob walked at them with a powerful and angry pace and when the team looked backwards the Hounds were growling at them with an ready expression.Apparently Misses Crisco shared all the information with her husband and they decided to turn the entire town of Crawley against Maggie.There was no were to go and the angry contingent of people moved to them with the clear intention of harming anyone on their way to get what they want.Elizabeth didn’t know what was worse the angry mob or the supernatural creatures from hell coming after them.As the crowd got closer they started surrounding Maggie and shielding her but Nathaniel Cirsco and his wife Genysys had a way with their methods, they manage to circle around them.The hounds were blocked off, but they weren’t withdrawing either and the sense of danger increased by the second.And they were not relenting but pushing forward to try to break the circle so they could get their hands on the ‘cursed’ woman, and front time to time one o
Some of the members of the lynching mob we're now conflicted morally and emotionally knowing that they were so willing to kill a woman when the answer to their salvation was easy, simple and always in front of them.The Crisco matrimony were largely seen instigators of an unnecessary lynch and were shamed to the point of buying the newlyweds a new puzzle to start their family.Rory Thompson decided that the parcel that he wanted needed to be the one near his grandmother's cabin and He restored the small place into a home for him and Maggie in the parcel that the Crisco's offered them they grew vegetables and bread chickens and sheep.Your life was not one of luxuries but it was one of love.Any resentment that Mayor Sawyer could have had on the Thompson family was gone once his beloved daughter announced one day who was with child and he was a loving and proud grandfather.Children ran around the house and livened up the town with songs and laughter, innocent to the darkness that once
This book is a serial book of supernatural mystery stories so If you like to read monster stories or monster hunter stories, with a touch of mystery and romance you are reading the right book. You don't need to read all of them to understand a single story, I do recommend reading them all since characters will have ongoing arcs. But you can skip a story if it's not that exciting to you and don't mind losing some character development. The book has a stable cast of characters and some others will be recurring. this book takes place in Victorian England and the work won't ignore the time period, so expect some time-period problems like racism, bigotry, etc, they exist in this universe. But characters from all walks of life will be present in the book (LGBTQ+ and BIPOC can appear is what I mean). This book does try to stay as truthful to the time period as possible and the legends and folk tales of the places it tackles, however, some historical anachronisms may happen, and sometimes
London, 1863 A new morning in London, as cold as foggy as only the British Isles could be, the smell of baked goods, wet pavement, carriages making their rounds and the children screaming in the streets trying to sell the morning paper. And did they ever have the most intriguing of headlines to keep the readers interested "Lord Reginald found dead under mysterious circumstances" What a hook for readers that was, apparently one of the Queen's richest of friends was found dead it was impossible not to grab a copy. A young blonde noblewoman by the name of Elizabeth certainly thought so, quickly buying her paper and sitting at 'Mrs Marcy's tea shop' near one of the booths against the windows (the place where she and her mother would sit and where she was to meet her that afternoon) she quickly opened the designated page where all the information about this heinous crime happened. "Today at 5:30 the police found the body of Lord Reginald of Lincolnshire, at the night house establishmen
The day had not improved and still cloudy skies ruled over the firmament and dawned over the city.But no bad weather was going to slow Elizabeth down as she reached the steps of the Night Rose with nothing more than sheer will, smiling to herself as her skirt ruffled gently in the wind as she ascended towards the door.While she moved towards her goal she could see the metropolitan police guardian at the perimeter, apparently, the commotion had drawn people around the city to gather near the place hoping to get a glimpse of the body or a simple piece of information that would make for great gossip"Elizabeth" a voice called her making her stop at the steps, it was familiar and friendly, she turned to the owner of that warm brassy baritone voice and was greeted by the charming smile of Henry Lewis.He was a handsome brunette gentleman, with brown eyes and a considerably tall stature, a slender yet athletic physique. But most importantly a friend from childhood.They walked to each oth
Kent guided Elizabeth through the complex, it was a three story building with a terrace included on top. They walked up to the second floor where they found a lounge area and then a large corridor that had separate rooms like a hotel would, but this where clearly for other types of adult needs. He didn’t stop until the reached the room where the murder happened and he opened the door for her, letting her walk in first. "Thank you, Mister Kent, you are very kind" she said as she stepped into the room "let us see what we have here". She looked at the room and took it in as if it was a picture, she studied the room: there was an outline on the floor around Lord Reginald's body, there was a vase knocked out on the floor smashed into small fragments and flowers around it, a painting slightly moved from its position; in addition to that a bed with the sheets taken off of it and bathtub that was not used. It was clear that this was a room used for discreet callings and Lord Reginald was
Elizabeth and Trainee Kent were now on the opposite side of the Night Rose, waiting for their 'accomplice' to join them.The English lady fixed her gaze at the door as she softly spoke to her companion "thanks for indulging my curiosity Mr Kent"."I am much obliged to do so Miss Carter, I am too of a curious nature and not always appreciated when I try to give my opinion." he answered as he placed himself at her right."How many years have you been in the police force Mr Kent?" She said finally facing him."Five years, almost six Miss." He folded his arms and laid back against the wall behind him."And you are still in training?" "That's correct, apparently I am not ready to face real police work." The tone of his answer was one of frustration, years of dedication and nothing to show for them, always trying to prove himself but never being recognized for his effort."I imagine" she shared the sentiment "people tend to side-eye to people who won't do what's expected of them…waiting fo
The young aristocratic woman sat in her usual booth at 'Mrs Marcy's tea shop', where she had been hours earlier.She gestured at the waitress and asked for her usual, as soon as she was gone she looked out the window seeing a thousand people going on with their day and as she looked she lost herself in thought.Her mind wandered to the crime scene and Lord Reignalds body, and how two sharp holes in his neck were vexing her, as to the nature of their existence.Her train of thought would be stopped by someone sitting in front of her, it was none other than her mother: Lady Diane.Well...I take it you have read the papers?!" Her mother said as he set her purse to the side, she then swiftly looked at the server and gestured to her to bring her usual as well."And I take you have also embarrassed your brother and me, by poking your nose at that den of damnation…the chief of police was kind enough to let me know." Lady Diane took a good look at her child, her dark green eyes fixed on the w
