BLURB:
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, it may unleash disaster not only on the thief but the innocents around him.
Can Whyborne and Griffin track down the thief and return the amulet by nightfall, or will dinner reservations become the least of their worries?
REVIEW:
Such, well I want to say sweet interlude, but there wasn’t really much sweetness. At least not until the very end. But there you go…
Eidolon is told, and brilliantly so, from Griffin’s point of view. He and Whyborne have lived together for a couple of months and now he wants to have that perfect Valentine’s Day with his beloved. Dinner at a fancy restaurant and a theatre show to follow. Unfortunately fate did not agree, and the couple spend the night recovering a magical talisman that if not returned would unleash unimaginable horrors.
I loved that this story was told by Griffin. And while it was a short one, I still feel that we got to know him so much better, hinting at things from the past, leaving the listener (and reader I’d imagine) wanting to know more. And quickly.
Julian Simmons’ narration was great. I loved his voice for Griffin, it really matched his personality perfectly. He has such a pleasant voice that I just need to jump right into the next one for another dose.
