Like the classic “Beauty and the Beast,” this steampunk romance features an unlikely love story.

GOD, THE FATHER of Blackwell Manor, Kilometers, is plagued by a family group curse that changes him into a shape-shifting wolf on a monthly basis through the full moon.

Lucy, a good, attractive, and well-respected botanist, travels to Blackwell Manor to deal with her sick cousin, Kate, who’s married to Kilometers’ younger brother. For Lucy, the trip is normally a welcome respite from her function and recent discovery of a discovery about Beauty as well as the Clockwork Beast serum that could eliminate the scourge of vampires from London. But Lucy discovers a lot more than she bargained for when she finds the Manor.

Miles, who is brash and inhospitable, will not take kindly to site visitors. He’s still unsettled with the strange death of his newlywed wife. And there’s Marie, Mls’ sister, who was simply attacked and murdered simply weeks earlier. Kilometers is horrified to think that he could be to blame for the deaths. And who’s the ghost that haunt the halls?

Lucy is convinced the fact that loss of life of Miles’s wife and sister-as well while her cousin’s mysterious illness-are tied jointly, but how?

Lady Charlesworth has her eyesight on inheriting Blackwell Manor on her behalf family. Could her daughter, Candice, or her boy, Arthur, have had a hand in the mysterious deaths? The hints make a vampire suspect highly likely.

During her investigation, Lucy finds herself nurturing deeply for Miles, but he fights to maintain his distance in order to protect Lucy from his family’s secret. And, yet, he feels drawn to the woman who’s able to appear at night fearsome-looking scar that has marred his handsome face. Without other option, Miles and Lucy must work together if they’re to get the response to the mysteries in the manor.

But that’s not all Lucy really wants to solve. There are a deeper mystery behind Mls. Can she solve that too? Ultimately, she must decide if she can love the man-beast and everything.”Allen’s imagining of ‘Beauty as well as the Beast’ like a supernatural period murder mystery is delightful at every turn.”-Publishers Regular (starred review)
