Quickie Review: The Adventures of Cassius Flynn and Molly McGuire by Eleri Stone

8:59 am 28 July 2015
The Adventures of Cassius Flynn and Molly McGuire - Eleri Stone
The Adventures of Cassius Flynn and Molly McGuire by Eleri Stone is a free novella set in her wonderfully unique Reaper series world. The two main characters are side characters in the series, although they play a bigger role in the most recent novel, Ride to Ruin, which takes place after this novella, chronologically. While you don’t have to have foreknowledge of the series to enjoy this short, I feel it made for a richer read having met the characters prior to this story.
 
Molly is an outlaw who salvages treasures from towns that have been overrun by Reapers (think really fast, somewhat organized zombies). Flynn is a reformed smuggler who needs Molly’s help stealing something from Flynn’s adopted father. The pair have a history - a year ago he proposed and she ran out, stealing his airship - and this history gives the pair an extra spark right from the start. And while I will classify this story as a romance, it does not have an HEA or even an HFN… it is more like the middle chapters in the couple’s eventual HEA. Normally, I don’t enjoy those types of stories that aren’t “complete HEAs.” However, in the case of Molly and Flynn, call me a sucker. I adore this pair and find this adventure exceptionally lovely, and very thrilling, albeit short.
 
Molly and Flynn share passion for life, adventure, excitement, and most importantly, one another. Their reunion scenes scorch the pages, both sensual and loving. My heart aches for this couple who longs for one another, but they aren’t quite in a place where they can be together. The Adventures of Cassius Flynn and Molly McGuire whet my appetite for more of their thrilling adventures!
 
My Rating: B+  Liked It A Lot
