This week I'm featuring A Whisker Behind by W.R. Gingell releasing February 15. It's the first book in a spinoff from Gingell's City Between series that follows Athelas. He was the most complicated, secretive, and interesting character from that series, so it's a bit of an understatement to say I'm excited to find out more about him.
Exiled, excommunicated, and with a bounty on his head, Athelas is lying low in Seoul for exactly one reason: he has a wedding to attend. Whether or not he’s welcome is another matter.
Luckily for Athelas, several bodies have turned up with their soft insides gnawed out, whether by magic or Behindkind—and the latest of those bodies is at the very wedding hall he has been staking out. The Behindkind investigators suspect one of Athelas' housemates: YeoWoo, a gumiho with a thirst for revenge and an even greater appetite for soft underbelly than Athelas. To buy herself time, YeoWoo barters alibis with the suspiciously quiet fae sharing her house, but to remain free, she must find the real murderer.
By joining the investigation, Athelas has exactly the chance he needs to prove that he is now a repentant, changed, and selfless fae, bent on atoning for former deeds…no matter how many Behindkind and humans he has to cut through to confirm that impression.
What upcoming release are you eagerly anticipating?
I haven't yet read The City Between series, but I hope to. The sound of this spin off has me wanting to get on that even more though. I hope you enjoy A Whisker Behind when you read it!
ReplyDeleteThe City Between is my favorite urban fantasy series. It's my go-to recommendation for anyone who enjoys that genre. It's so fun and weird and awesome. I hope you love it if you get the chance to check it out. :D
