Darling Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt
4.25
adventurous emotional funny mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked this installment, and found it especially funny, but I missed the bananas adventures of The Ghost of St Giles a little bit. I did like the murder mystery story in this and it was lovely to see Apollo get his HEA. One note: I listened to the audio for part of this and I’m confused as to why the narrator made Phoebe sound like a child with a lisp who couldn’t say her “r”s either. An odd, infantilizing choice for a character who is blind (not hearing or speech impaired).
