Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

Enjoyable
Slow but enjoyed it! Anyone looking for fast paced thrills and chills, or steamy sex scenes for that matter, probably wouldn’t be satisfied. But I liked the mystery and found the love interest sweet. Anticipating #2 in the series. Love Joel Leslie. Wish he’d narrated the earlier Widdershins books.

Widdershins' Library
First, it's Joel Leslie. It's read well and well paced.
Next, it is Jordan L. Hawk's strange little town of Widdershins, Massachusetts. You don't need to have finished the W&G series to enjoy the book. I didn't love the Whyborne and Griffin narrator, so I didn't make it past the first few chapters of Fallow, but I didn't have any trouble following the events here. That said, you'd probably benefit from the world building in at least the first book in that series. I recommend reading it though.
I loved both Ver and Sebastian. I loved Sebastian's sister and her passle of happy children. I laughed aloud at "A wife in every port and a husband on every ship." I am absolutely shipping Miss Endicott and Nocturne. Tentacles are awesome.
I'll definitely read the next when it is released. Recommend.

LOVED IT
There's so much I loved about this. The historical setting of Halley's Comet's visibility, and the hysteria that surrounded it. The trans allegory a la X-Men. The library setting. The nerdy-hot characters. And who knew I'd be into m/m monster/human sex. Welp. Guess I found a new genre.
Joel Leslie is fantastic as usual, except for the painful Boston-esque accent he attempts for Sebastien. That was uneccessary.

Monster with a heart of gold
For a book about magic and monsters and the end of the world, the book is surprisingly straightforward. It’s YA story with a couple adult scenes. Vers has a worryingly abusive backstory but a good heart.
I thought the romantic timeline was too rushed and Ver’s behavior came off as too assimilated for his backstory of no friends, no casual acquaintances. The motivations of everyone seemed to lack depth. But the saving grace was the, well, grace of the protagonists. It’s easy to root for characters who are kind. And a lot of times, characters went against stereotypes in a good way - when I thought there would be a misunderstanding, they didn’t fall for it! It was really nice to run into. Seb’s sister is the real gem.
There’s a bit of a mystery with ooky blood rituals and a rushed romance but the reader at least knows that the nice people making offers of friendship & housing made the offers in good faith. If you’re looking for a fantasy book that’s a little dark but maybe not too dark in these trying times, I think this would suit.
Steam: med low. M/M kind of on page. Good consent aside from Ver’s background. That was one of the disconnects for me - Ver was portrayed as up for the relationship but someone with his sequestered background should have been incredibly naive so I wondered if he was ready. Seb did not shy away from the less human parts of Vers which was nice, and might be more excitingly steamy in future.
Narration: Pretty good. I listen to this narrator a lot. This effort was decent.

A new visit to the town of Widdershins
I loved this! It has a distinctly different feel from previous Widdershins books: the opening is tense, dark, and dense, and our characters considerably more assured of themselves, for their own betterment or for worse. The tone becomes warmer, lighter, and more hopeful as we progress: Hawk has clearly grown as an author, and it really shows, which is impressive considering how good the previous Widdershins series was.
If you ever wanted to know more about the Librarians, it seems that they will be a focus of this series, and I greatly look forward to it. Our narrator's voice give such richness and setting to the story. Overall, I'm delighted, and almost sorry that I found this book so soon, because the wait for the next Rath and Rune book will be so long.

Entertaining
The narration was definitely the best part of this audiobook. I haven’t read any previous Widdershins books, but I didn’t feel like I was missing any major background information. Story wise, I wasn’t totally enthralled, but it was entertaining enough and if Joel Leslie narrates book two, I’ll be sure to listen.
