The first female magic user to reach adulthood in England for centuries, Seraphina Winyard is viewed as a freakish chattel by some…and by others as a danger that must be erased from history.

When her former guardian is murdered, suspicion falls on Seraphina. Aided by the brilliant surgeon Hugh Miles, she must discover how to wield her power to find the true murderer before her leash is replaced by a noose.

Story
Winter has come to Werth Towers, and brought a deal of trouble with it. Not that any of it is the fault of Miss Gussie Werth. To be a one-woman catastrophe might be seen as a misfortune, but really, there can be no hope of a cure. What with murderous Books on the rampage, Lady Maundevyle brewing plans for Christmas, and a couple of dragons on the loose, a quiet life is not likely to be had. Still, in times of crisis, there is always Lord Felix. The disreputable old revenant might have a few odd ideas; but you’re at Werth Towers, now. The merely unusual comes as a matter of course.

Certainly, no one will believe a werewolf victim like Liz: the very scars that make her determined to investigate Sal’s death also condemn her as the sort of female who’d sell her blood for easy money.

Publisher's Summary
"If you had not already realized it, this is a very strange house you are come to."
The Scions of the House of Werth are all born normal. It is what happens afterwards that sets them apart.
It is not easy being the most supernatural family in England. Nell talks to the dead; Lord Werth is too often to be found out in the churchyard at the dead of night; and the less said about Lord Bedgberry, the better.
Only Miss Gussie Werth has missed out on the family curse. She sups on chocolate, not blood; she's blissfully oblivious to spectres (except for Great-Aunt Honoria, of course); and she hasn't the smallest inclination to turn into a beast upon the full moon, and go ravening about the countryside.
But there's more to the Wyrde than meets the eye. When a visit to a neighboring family goes spectacularly, deliciously wrong, Gussie's ideas about her own nature undergo a swift and serious change.
Far from being the most ordinary of the bunch, she may just prove to be the most disastrous Werth of them all...
Refined Regency manners meet gothic comedy to delightfully absurd effect in Wyrde and Wayward, a fresh new series from the author of Modern Magick and the Malykant Mysteries.

Unsatisfying, incomplete
This story had the potential of being much better than it is. The premise of early to mid 19th (?) century England society which accepts magical “wyrde” families as (somewhat) normal could go far.
In the end, however, this story felt incomplete and unfinished - half a story. The characters were interesting, if too vaguely drawn. It seems as though this was rushed into publication or perhaps was a slightly expanded novella. At any rate, it should have been further developed and at least half again longer. It is not a cliffhanger ending, per se, but perhaps an ellipsis ending. Bah. Why would one buy a potential second book in a series if the first book is like this?
Rachel Hine does a fine job narrating but I found her several mispronunciations distracting.
This could have been really good...
