His identity, his past, his real intentions. As Kim and Will try to find answers and outrun trouble, mutual desire grows along with the danger.Īnd then Will discovers the truth about Kim.

Will has no idea what that information is, and nobody to turn to, until Kim Secretan-charming, cultured, oddly attractive-steps in to offer help. First a criminal gang, then the War Office, both telling Will to give them the information they want, or else.

Inheriting his uncle's chaotic second-hand bookshop is a blessing.until strange visitors start making threats. I finally got used to it popping-up during the narrative, unannounced ( Christ, Will, you just got attacked, how getting laid is your first thought?) and then once I put that unease feeling aside, I managed to enjoy the rest of the story.Will Darling came back from the Great War with a few scars, a lot of medals, and no idea what to do next. But once I understood that it was an important detail for the story, or more like an important part of the relationship between Will and Kim that kept building up alongside the plot, it was okay. I couldn’t put the book down for 3 days, and as I am quite pleased with my reading, I was just a tiny bit disturbed by all these explicit sex scenes - I did not expect that when I first opened the book. The only problem? Will has no idea what this is all about. Just after World War I, Will inherits his uncle’s bookshop and with it, the secret that inhabits it: Darven, a now dead scientific, asked Will’s uncle to hide his ground-breaking discovery, a chemical warfare, but a lot of people including the War Office and a gang of so-called anarchists are after it.

So yeah, the plot is compelling, with a lot of actions and everything you can expect for a book about secret scientific formulas and gangs. Quite a good read overall, with compelling characters and great writing.
