#4 in series (I have been reading this series since Feb 2022 and committed to this series since June 2022.)
Comparison to others in series:
The narrator was Angèle Masters. I love the essence she gives Veronica.
Moderate: Grief and Murder

I'm just gonna say it - Tiberius was hot. I loved his playful banter with Veronica, and them developing a genuine friendship was even better. His involvement in the story made it feel more personal than the investigations in previous books. Of course, my favorite part of every Veronica Speedwell book: The Veronica/Stoker development!!! The open admission of the tension between them, the jealousy, the teasing, the reluctance to open up just when the other is ready to admit their feelings........I bookmarked so many moments that made me squeal in delight.
I don't want to spoil anything but oh my goodness, this gave me EVERYTHING that my heart longed for. So much so that this could have worked as the ending to the entire series. I'm very, very glad that there are more books after this, though! And Angèle Masters does a fantastic job narrating the audiobooks. 𼰠My only gripe is that I wish the "fandom" had a bigger online presence. I need all of the fanart, fanfic, whatever!
