Sinopse

Eleanor Sleath's 'The Orphan of the Rhine' is a classic Gothic novel that delves into themes of mystery, murder, and romantic intrigue. Set in the beautiful but sinister landscape of the Rhine Valley, the novel follows the orphaned Adeline as she uncovers dark secrets about her family's past. Sleath's writing is rich in atmosphere, with vivid descriptions of castles, forests, and hidden chambers that create a sense of suspense and foreboding. The narrative is filled with twists and turns, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the surprising conclusion. Eleanor Sleath, a prolific English author of Gothic fiction, was known for her skill in creating complex characters and intricate plots. Her own fascination with the supernatural and the macabre shines through in 'The Orphan of the Rhine,' adding a layer of depth to the story. Sleath's unique voice and storytelling ability have cemented her legacy as a prominent figure in 18th-century Gothic literature. I highly recommend 'The Orphan of the Rhine' to readers who enjoy atmospheric and suspenseful Gothic novels. Eleanor Sleath's masterful storytelling and intricate plot twists make this novel a must-read for fans of the genre.

    Necromancer Lesson #1: Never step into a summoning circle with a goat shifter and a candle. 
    I’m a costume shop owner, not a demon hunter. My life was supposed to be filled with tequila shots and vintage clothing. 
    But when I accidentally unleash a demon on Kansas City, the Tribunal labels me a walking menace. Then, they give me a two-week ultimatum—send him back to hell or face the consequences. The only problem? I have no idea how to do that. 
    I’ve got a goat shifter in my corner. I also have a sexy-as-sin enforcer I need to keep at arm’s length and a necromancer offering a crash course in death magic. However, the more powerful I get, the bigger the target on my back becomes. 
    I’m about to find out who I can trust and who is determined to kill me.
