A Whyborne & Griffin short story.

Griffin Flaherty wants nothing more than to create a perfect Valentine's Day for his lover, Dr. Percival Endicott Whyborne. Dinner at a fancy restaurant, an evening at the theater, and a romantic interlude at home should do the trick.

But a new client with an urgent case puts Griffin's plans in jeopardy. A magic talisman has been stolen, and if it isn't returned by sundown, disaster will befall not only on the thief but the innocents around him.

Can Whyborne and Griffin track down and return the amulet by nightfall, or will dinner reservations become the least of their worries?

Note: This story takes place between the events of Widdershins and Threshold, and is narrated from Griffin's point of view.

Short story: 9,200 words.

A short story set very soon after the end of Widdershins. Griffin has their first Valentine's Day all planned out, hoping to make a perfect impression on Whyborne but it gets waylaid when a member of one of the old Widdershins families comes to him with a very time-sensitive case.
The writing leaves much to be desired - the writer uses about 5 different variations of the phrase "stirred my cock" for Griffin in the 25 pages that said cock is practically its own character. The two characters still feel a bit flat and the "mystery" in this story isn't much of one and isn't really explored. Granted, it is a short story and only so much can be included, but then it's the writer's responsibility to come up with an idea that can be sussed out within the pages. After this, I can't see continuing with this series or the writer. ( )

I really loved that it was from Griffin's point of view. I feel I would have enjoyed Threshold more if I've read this one first. ( )

No real explanation to the mystery but it was great to be in Griffin's head for a change. ( )

Our first look at Widdershins from Griffin's POV. This was an enjoyable short story which takes place very early on in the series between books one and two.

There wasn't much of a mystery, Griffin's client knew "who dunnit" and he easily found the culprit. The supernatural aspect was a bit creepy and we never really learned what the full circumstances involved were. I kind of liked to the open-endedness of it, and thought it was cool when we returned to this storyline which gets tied up near the end of the series.

Mainly, I enjoyed seeing Whyborne through Griffin's eyes and getting a feel for how he sees him. ( )

In this house we love and appreciate creepy Miss Lester. Can’t say this about her pants-shittingly scary grandpa though.

This story also fulfills two topmost requirements of a good romance:

✓ Eldritch horror
✓ Cute gift-exchange

Loved it! ( )
