I want to hang out with Severine so badly. At one point in the book, she punches a guy straight in the junk. She’s cool and collected, a keenly observant, and has zero time for the shithead member of the ton who is spreading rumors he deflowered her (she was deflowered long ago, okay? And it was awesome. Now she sometimes works as a spy, and in her spare time runs a detective agency. She worked as a spy for military intelligence in Spain during the Peninsular War. She was orphaned during the French Revolution and adopted by a British Intelligence agent. It’s got a bad-ass heroine, a richly developed world, an element of mystery, and a delicious slow-burn romance.įor me, hands down, the best part of this story was the heroine, Severine de Cabrillac. (Somewhere, in Scotland, Redheadedgirl just sat up and went “what?” and isn’t sure why). Beauty Like the Night is the first book by Joanna Bourne that I’ve read, but it definitely won’t be the last.
