Moonlight & Mechanicals

Moonlight & Mechanicals (2012) Cindy Spencer Pape

I think the reason I’m enjoying the stories so much is because they’re only novellas so they’re not full price. I can justify a couple bucks for a whimsical short story/novella.

That’s not to say these are bad stories, because they aren’t. I very much like the world-building, and I like the characters and their adventures. There is just a lot of boinking in these stories is all.

This story is about Wink (Winifred) and Liam. Wink is the mechanical genius who first appeared in Steam and Sorcery as one of the orphans. She was adopted at the end of that story, and has gone on to study at Lovelace college (a lovely touch, that). She’s also in love with Liam, the young police officer and were who rescued her in the first story.

Liam, however, believes that as a were he’s doomed to be an abusive asshat like his father, so despite being in love with Wink, he keeps trying to set up her with his best friend, Connor, who is also in love with Wink.

So, like the rest of the series, a light amusement, despite all the boinking.
Rating: 6.5/10
