Book Blurb:

The most famous introduction in the history of crime fiction takes place in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Study in Scarlet”, bringing together Sherlock Holmes, the master of science detection, and John H. Watson, the great detective’s faithful chronicler. This novel not only establishes the magic of the Holmes myth but also provides the reader with a dramatic adventure yarn which ranges from the foggy, gas-lit streets of London to the burning plains of Utah.

My Thoughts:

It was in A Study in Scarlet that Arthur Conan Doyle first introduced to the world’s most well known fictional detective – Sherlock Holmes. Not only do we get to meet Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, but we get …

HE’S MY TEACHER. I SHOULDN’T BE ALONE WITH HIM. BUT I CAN’T HELP THAT HE’S IRRESISTIBLE.I let the door silently close at my back. He stared at me, and a taut quiet stretched between us.“I like hearing you play,” I said, moving toward him.He turned, in sync with my slow approach. He looked up at me but didn’t say anything. I rested my clammy hand on the cold, slick body of the baby grand. “May I?”The muscles in his throat shifted, then he swallowed. “Eden.”My knees weakened, like a soft tickling kiss had just been blown against …

Book Blurb:

What fortune awaited sweet, timid Percy Parker at Athens Academy? Hidden in the dark heart of Victorian London, the Romanesque school was dreadfully imposing, a veritable fortress, and little could Percy guess what lay inside. She had never met its powerful and mysterious Professor Alexi Rychman, knew nothing of the growing shadows, of the Ripper and other supernatural terrors against which his coterie stood guard. She saw simply that she was different, haunted, with her snow white hair, pearlescent skin and uncanny gift. This arched …
