A Novella filled with kelpies and romance

I love these novellas! Grayson Sherbrooke has a special connection with ghosts and other fantasy beings that make these short stories fun to read. I hope Catherine keeps on writing these novellas in between her full length novels.

So different from her previous works but in line with this series. I like the characters and the plot. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Another otherworldy adventure for Grayson to experience! This time in his ancestral home of Northcliffe Hall.

There's a new tutor who may not be all what he appears. The resident ghost, The Virgin Bride, alerts Grayson to a malevolent scheme the tutor is enacting. In the end, there's nothing sinister, just a horseback ride to the past time period of King Arthur's Camelot!

This book was more "telly" than the others. The tutor when he first got caught had a large info-dump. Though, it was probably supposed to come across as blabbering. Then his sister just comes right out and tells Grayson about Barnaby's parentage; mystery no more. Though, this information will lead to a fifth Adventure.

The Virgin Bride of Northcliffe Hall: 4-Stars
On trip to visit his uncle Douglas and aunt Alex, The Earl and Countess of Northcliffe, Grayson once again has an encounter with an Otherworldly being, actually three of them. The resident ghost, the Virgin Bride, has concerns about the young gentleman, Olafar Ramsey, who is employed as a tutor at the Hall. Olafar is also a kelpie and he and Grayson get into an adventure in the Court of King Arthur.

This novella was a surprise. Quite entertaining and funny. You have to know some of it is, or much of it is very tongue and cheek including the over the top descriptions of guinevere's beauty in a 100% White/western / steretypical beauty. I think it's supposed to come off as ridiculous. A quick read for when you don't want to think too much.

The Virgin Bride is a ghost long familiar to all the Sherbrookes. While she is instrumental in helping Grayson and a kelpie solve a mystery surrounding King Arthur, she experiences an unexpected benefit as a result of her involvement. Cleverly includes characters from the previous three novellas in this otherworldly series.

The Virgin Bride of Northcliffe Hall

Grayson's next adventure takes him to Camelot. While visiting his aunt and uncle at Northcliffe Hall with Pip, P.C. and Barnaby, he and the Virgin Bride suspects something is not right with Mr. Ramsey the tutor. They work together to get to the bottom of the mystery. This is a series you don't want to miss.

Fun

Grayson learns the name of the Virgin bride and they share a wonderful adventure. Plus the mystery of Barnaby is solved. This was a fun read for anyone who enjoys a well written story.

Virgin Bride unveiled

Having read these in order, I’ve especially enjoyed this fantasy so much knowing some of the back-story . It has been a good read and fitting ending for several characters. Enjoy!

Northcliffe Hall

A really good story, however too short. The characters are wonder and full of adventures. Grayson met the most incredible people during his life. Very good book.

Grayson Sherbrooke

Grayson is visiting his Uncle Douglas, Earl of Northcliff and Aunt Alex Countess of Nothcliff with his son Pip, P.C. and Barnaby. Where he sees a black stallion with a silver reins and bridle. He also meets Olafar Ramsey, the tutor for his cousin’s twins. He also is visited by the Virgin Bride ghost of Northcliffe Hall. You have a kelpie that has been traveling back in time trying to find the original Camelot and see if Lancelot really did run off with Guinevere. This is a good, fast and short read. You time travel and adventure with the Virgin Bride and Olafar. The book is a stand alone. The characters are likeable and interesting. I would read more books in the series and by the author.

These short novels are fast, funny and just enjoyable! The Virgin Bride visits again and we find out more about her - not to mention a new twist on the King Arthur Legend - that I like better!!! All 4 well worth reading.
