Explanation Supposing Books Wicked Gentlemen
Belimai Sykes is many things: a Prodigal, the descendant of ancient demons, a creature of dark temptations and rare powers. He is also a man with a brutal past and a dangerous addiction. And Belimai Sykes is the only man Captain William Harper can turn to when faced with a series of grisly murders.But Mr. Sykes does not work for free and the price of Belimai's company will cost Captain Harper far more than his reputation. From the ornate mansions of noblemen, where vivisection and sorcery are hidden beneath a veneer of gold, to the steaming slums of Hells Below, Captain Harper must fight for justice and for his life.
His enemies are many and his only ally is a devil he knows too well. Such are the dangers of dealing with the wicked.

To start Ill say I wouldnt have picked this up on my own. I decided to read it as part of a BR even though after reading the blurb I hadnt any clue as to what it was really going to be about.Book 1 ends at 46%.Well.I myself am questioning all the 5 star reviews at this point. While somewhat intriguing the end of this book found me with more questions than answered. Sure I got the who of the investigation but not so much the whys. I think the biggest draw to most probably is Belimai Sykes but I3,2 starsWicked Gentlemen consist of two books. In spite of I enormously enjoyed the first book, the second book didn't meet my expectations.It is the reason for my muted reaction. Full review will come later. I hope. I'm slightly disappointed right now.
It's a long time since I've relished a book this much -- or had that sense of having lost myself in another world. Hale's marvellous creation of a Barrie-esque AU England and her wonderful characters held me spell-bound for an entire evening. I was very sorry when it ended as I could have followed the adventures of Captain Harper and Belimai Sykes very contentedly for another 300 pages.
Final rating: 4/5 stars Some romances end more badly than others. But, (view spoiler)[this is not that kind of a story. (hide spoiler)].I can only describe this book as interesting. This is how I felt even after finishing it. And don't forget about the bonus sequel short stories (Mr. Sykes and the Noble Muse and Mr. Harper and the Christmas Stocking), because both were equally amusing and it was wonderful to read about both of them years later.This book literally has 2 books inside - it was
4,5 starsIt would have been a 5 stars rating if I had had my fill of the murders plot lines, but I revelled in this world, in every street, every alley, windowsill, roof-top, every dark corner and gas lamp from White Chapel to Hells Bellow.I fell for Belimai and the Flower of Evil texture of his thoughts, all dark melancholy, self-loathing and opium induced poetry. I liked that it wasnt overplayed and that the sounds, scents and touch he is so attuned to, brought as much grittiness as reverie.I
While reading, I have found so many great paragraphs and sentences. I loved the words that Ginn Hale used in her book. It is full of atmosphere, depth, and wit. She created two unique and absolutely loveable characters with Belimai and Harper.WICKED GENTLEMEN is separated into two parts, two cases, but tells us the one story of how Belimai and Harper meet and ultimately find a future together. The first part is told from Belimai's POV, the second from Harper's, and I thought this devision was
Liked the world, the story, the characters and the POV which was dual so we got to see both characters from inside and out and Hale ably shows that how we see ourselves is not how others see us. With all the questions I had, Hale made me curious, interested to read more immediately, but she did answer them so I'm good.This book should totally be read together with the following two shorts. They satisfied the more I needed as in the book the romance, the intimacy remains a bit fade to black, a
