The Adventures of Henna Moriarty #1
The Krampus Caper
This is not the England you know. Here be meddlesome Fae, tinkering goblins, dragon riders, and more. Here be the Venatores Deorum, the hunters of the gods and protectors of mortals and Magics alike.
Henna Moriarty, fresh from her apprenticeship in the Venatores Deorum, has a simple task - investigate the rumor of a rogue Krampus at the Christmas Faire. In a world where the old gods are constantly gathering followers to plot against peaceful relations between mortal and magical races, a Venator's work is rarely so easy however. When her reconnaissance mission uncovers a threat to Princess Victoria, it's a race against time to catch the rogue before he can kidnap the princess. And if she's not careful, this caper could be her last mission.
The Krampus Caper is a short novella set in the gaslamp fantasy reimagining of Georgian/Victorian England with steampunk accents. It is a standalone short adventure introducing the Venatores Deorum universe and The Adventures of Henna Moriarty, a series of complete standalone short novellas.

Short cute story leaves you wanting to explore more of the world. I like this book. So far the lead seems competent and easy to like. There are one or two references that have no explanation so it feels like you missed a previous book, but there isn’t one. I’m hoping they will address it in the future.

An enjoyable introduction to a new world from Kimberly A. Rogers! The intersection of myth and magic with gaslamp Georgian/Victorian England was very fun, and I really look forward to reading more of Henna's adventures 😍

I adore gas lamp fantasy.
Thesis book was a must read after reading the Dragons of Firestone. I can't get enough if this world building and the unique characters!

This was fine, but very short, it didn't really have the time to world build/introduce characters so there was lots of info dumping and being told rather than shown things. The plot was okay, but I wasn't really invested because I didn't know any of the characters or their backstories etc, there was such a slew of world building info being sent my way it felt more like a study book than a story at times 😂
