I love picturing actors as Book characters to help visualise the story.

I’ve adored reading the Frey & McGray series and have finally got my main characters so here we go :

Inspector Ian Percival Frey

With the equal amount of bitchy sass and traumatic angst :

Inspector Adolphus ‘Nine-Nails’ McGray

With the equal amount of rugged rouge and cheeky softy :

Uncle Maurice

With the equal amounts of mischievously brash, galavanting gentleman and heartbreaking tender support system :

my new fic "and I wouldn't marry me either" is online! Frey / McGray, 9k, T rating. May I offer you some "crack treated seriously" in these trying times?

but Stella, you say... Stella, I'm not even in this fandom!

To this, I say: do you like Cobra Kai for its unhinged energy and sexually charged arguments? do you like The X Files for its codependent skeptic/believer dynamic? do you like the Holmes canon for its investigations in a late 19th century setting?

Congratulations! You're now an honorary member of the Frey & McGray fandom! Go read about two men homoerotically bullying each other and getting engaged while viciously arguing!

(THIS IS A TINY FANDOM. IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME IF YOU CHECKED IT OUT. THANK YOU. FOREHEAD SMOOCH IF UR INTO THAT.) ❤️

That’s your problem, boy. You think. You assume. You give your senses more credit than they deserve, and then think we’re all idiots for not seeing things through the same glass as you.

blue is for Frey, green for McGray; I think it's speaking for itself

“I need to relax, for her sake if nothing else. I need something to take the edge off, before I fucking explode.”

“That may be sensible, at current-” I started soothingly, pleased that he finally realised his endless forceful push would only send him sooner to the grave, but then noticed his eyes upon me. His dark eyes, his demanding eyes, his downright hot eyes lingering in a way that they hadn’t since I’d left Edinburgh. “Are you serious?”

The Sign of the Devil, Oscar de Muriel

The Sign of the Devil, Oscar de Muriel

5/5 stars! A wonderfully-thrilling final book to the Frey and McGray series, The Sign of the Devil is full to the brim of twists and turns with family secrets revealed and bombshells dropped mercilessly throughout. It was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. Multiple grave-robberies? Murdered asylum patients? The sign of the devil reappearing everywhere? Nothing is adding up in…

Read-Alike Friday: The Poisoner’s Ring by Kelley Armstrong 

A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain

Beautiful and brilliant, Kendra Donovan is a rising star at the FBI. Yet her path to professional success hits a speed bump during a disastrous raid where half her team is murdered, a mole in the FBI is uncovered and she herself is severely wounded. As soon as she recovers, she goes rogue and travels to England to assassinate the man responsible for the deaths of her teammates.

While fleeing from an unexpected assassin herself, Kendra escapes into a stairwell that promises sanctuary but when she stumbles out again, she is in the same place - Aldrich Castle - but in a different time: 1815, to be exact.

Mistaken for a lady's maid hired to help with weekend guests, Kendra is forced to quickly adapt to the time period until she can figure out how she got there; and, more importantly, how to get back home. However, after the body of a girl is found on the extensive grounds of the county estate, she starts to feel there's some purpose to her bizarre circumstances. Stripped of her twenty-first century tools, Kendra must use her wits alone in order to unmask a cunning madman.

This is the first volume in the “Kendra Donovan” series.

The Strings of Murder by Oscar de Muriel

1888: a violinist is brutally murdered in his Edinburgh home. Fearing a national panic over a copycat Jack the Ripper, Scotland Yard send Inspector Ian Frey. Frey reports to Detective "Nine-Nails" McGray, local legend and exact opposite of the foppish English Inspector. McGray’s tragic past has driven him to superstition, but even Frey must admit that this case seems beyond belief...

There was no way in or out of the locked music studio. And there are black magic symbols on the floor. The dead man’s maid swears there were three musicians playing before the murder. And the suspects all talk of a cursed violin once played by the Devil himself. Inspector Frey has always been a man of reason—but the longer this investigation goes on, the more his grasp on reason seems to be slipping...

This is the first volume in the “Frey & McGray” series.

The Map of Time by Félix J. Palma

This rollicking page-turner with a cast of real and imagined literary characters and cunning intertwined plots stars a skeptical H.G. Wells as a time-traveling investigator.

Characters real and imaginary come vividly to life in this whimsical triple play of intertwined plots, in which a skeptical H. G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and to save lives and literary classics, including Dracula and The Time Machine, from being wiped from existence.

What happens if we change history?

This is the first volume in the “Trilogía Victoriana” series.

The House on Vesper Sands by Paraic O’Donnell

London, 1893: high up in a house on a dark, snowy night, a lone seamstress stands by a window. So begins the swirling, serpentine world of Paraic O’Donnell’s Victorian-inspired mystery, the story of a city cloaked in shadow, but burning with questions: why does the seamstress jump from the window? Why is a cryptic message stitched into her skin? And how is she connected to a rash of missing girls, all of whom seem to have disappeared under similar circumstances?

On the case is Inspector Cutter, a detective as sharp and committed to his work as he is wryly hilarious. Gideon Bliss, a Cambridge dropout in love with one of the missing girls, stumbles into a role as Cutter’s sidekick. And clever young journalist Octavia Hillingdon sees the case as a chance to tell a story that matters—despite her employer’s preference that she stick to a women’s society column. As Inspector Cutter peels back the mystery layer by layer, he leads them all, at last, to the secrets that lie hidden at the house on Vesper Sands.

So, it’s been a while…

Hello everyone!

I wish I was here with some better news, but this last year been a rough one. I can’t even remember when I said I was going to start reading ‘Sign of the Devil’ but I know it was a while ago.

So TLDR of it all is last May I lost my best friend of nearly 11 years, my wee bun, Kirby. It was very sudden and not the ending I wanted for him. I also found out that losing him was my first full blown experience of grief (I’m no stranger to losing people, but this was the first one that I felt). On top of all this, I’ve got some sort of sleep issue, it started with me falling asleep on the toilet, and has now progressed to where I can fall asleep anywhere, at work, on the bus, etc, which has made reading difficult, because anything that might relax me, makes me sleepy, and off I go. I’ve also been injuring myself, for example a month ago, fell asleep on the toilet, and fell face first into the stool and bust my mouth open (my teeth nearly went through my lip), I’ve also fallen asleep and called over just walking. The GP thinks is sleep apnea, and I’ve got tests to do etc so we’ll see.

But, finally, I am making a start on book 7. I’ve technically read one page and started to fall asleep (not a testament to the writing ofc).

Also as a side note, I got my dad into the series and he’s now read it all. We’ve been on an ebook binge and we’ve been clearing out our physical books and replacing them.

But here we are, book 7. Of course I shall let you know my thoughts either during or after :)
