Wartime brings all kinds of horrors, even some most people are unaware of. When Josef stumbles across more than just the terrible things people do to each other he as at odds with Alex a man that is part of a group trying to protect and hide the supernatural from the rest of the world.
From the No Man's Land blurb:
There are worse things than death…
It’s 1917, the height of the Great War, and Josef Shapel has one objective: tell the people at home the truth about the slaughter. That’s why he’s smuggled a camera to the front line, risking charges of treason to photograph the carnage.
But everything changes when he meets handsome and charismatic Captain Winchester.
Although the charming officer isn’t his usual type, Josef finds Winchester impossible to resist. But the captain is not what he seems, and after spending one glorious night together Josef discovers he’s been betrayed...
Months later, back in London, their paths cross again and Josef finds himself pulled into a dark and secret world. A world he can scarcely believe is real; a world that’s bringing the horrors of no man’s land into the streets of London.
With both his life and heart at risk, Josef must rethink everything he knows to fight for his home—and for a future with the man who blew his world apart.
SNik's review:
Standalone. Historical/paranormal. Single POV.
Josef is a conscientious objector during the Great War and hopes that his photos of the terrible war will help sway people back home in England to end the terrible war. When he runs into a captain in the most morbid of places they start a connection that follows them back to England, but something else follows as well. This story has very gothic horror elements to it, and is mostly driven by Josef’s journalistic curiosity that causes him to find that there are supernatural beings that have become more prevalent with the mass of deaths caused by the war.
Alex is part of a secret society and is a cunning and chivalrous aristocrat, with Josef being a scrappy and righteous socialist, they are in a lot of ways opposites, but their attraction is undeniable. Thus there is a lot of push and pull between them as they try to build trust and a possible relationship with danger haunting them. This was an entertaining read, although I do wish there had been more scenes between Alex and Josef and learning about their backgrounds and perhaps building more on their relationship, I did really enjoy the story.
