Book 2 in the Whyborne & Griffin series
Introverted scholar Percival Endicott Whyborne wants nothing more than to live quietly with his lover, ex-Pinkerton detective Griffin Flaherty. Unfortunately, Whyborne's railroad tycoon father has other ideas, namely hiring Griffin to investigate mysterious events at a coal mine.
Whyborne, Griffin, and their friend Christine travel to Threshold Mountain, a place of dark legend even before the mine burrowed into its heart. A contingent of Pinkertons - including Griffin's ex-lover Elliot - already guard the mine. But Griffin knows better than anyone just how unprepared the detectives are to face the otherworldly forces threatening them.
Soon, Whyborne and Griffin are on the trail of mysterious disappearances, deadly accidents, and whispered secrets. Is Elliot an ally, or does he only want to rekindle his relationship with Griffin? And if so, how can Whyborne possibly hope to compete with the stunningly handsome Pinkerton - especially when Griffin is hiding secrets about his past?
For in a town where friends become enemies and horror lurks behind a human mask, Whyborne can't afford to trust anything - including his own heart.

There's less romance and steamy moments and a bigger focus on story and mystery.
There are a few quick steamy moments and some romantic tension but it did noticeable take a back seat compared to the first book.
I didn't mind though at all because the story felt so fulfilling.
Its a self contained story, you dont technically need to read the first book to enjoy this. Just like the first book the mystery resolves itself at the end and wraps up with no loose ends.
I enjoyed the narrator this time around more too. Think its just from getting used to his style of narration but i feel like he's definitely giving some great distinct voices to both the main characters that its now instantly recognizable when they talk. Still recommend listening at 1.35x speed.
What a great follow up

For the most part I'm not really a fan when an ex turns up on the scene to cause trouble. But in this case I think it was necessary. I'm not saying that I in anyway liked Elliot or how he deliberately tried to cause trouble, but his appearance made them face some truths that weren't really addressed before. Whyborne and Griffin comes from two vastly different worlds. Whyborne coming from a wealthy family with all the privileges that entails. Prior to going to Threshold he'd never left Widdershins and is perfectly happy pouring over books to learn its secrets. Introverted he never had a romantic relationship before Griffin and have one true friend in Christine. Griffin on the other hand grew up in an orphanage before being adopted by a farmer, before being thrown out by said family when he was caught with the neighbouring boy. He's travelled the world and seen and been through things Whyborne can only imagine. Their experiences have shaped them and they look at things differently. And from that longwinded rambling what I’m trying to get at was that Elliot shed some light on their different takes on the world, shed some light on things they need to talk about.
I really like Whyborne and Griffin together. Vastly different yet they still fit together. Griffin reminding Whyborne that there is a world outside of the books, a world meant to be lived in. Whyborne grounding Griffin and keeps him from cracking in the seam by the weights and trails from the past. They aren't perfect, but they work, and I think that the further along in the series we get the more united they both get. But I guess time will tell that.
Julian Simmons really fits narrating for this era. A bit reserved in his performance, at least in the way that it's not as passionate as it could have been and leaning towards the monotone. There was one scene that really stood out to me, and it was when Whyborne was surrounded and talking to three prostitutes Simmons really delivered on that one, I could really see the scene before me, see Whyborne squirming, so out of his depth. It was funny and adorable at the same time.
I really enjoy the world that Hawk has created. Love the feel of it and the uncertainty of in which direction things will go. I'm hoping they keep it up going forward.

What did you love best about Threshold?
I loved the lyrical writing style that brought the characters to life in this exciting tale. The author's storytelling talent had me sitting on the edge of my seat, anxious to hear more.Who was your favorite character and why?
Dr. Whyborne is my favorite because I can really relate to him. His personality is close to my own and his experiences in life mirror my own.Fantastic read!

I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this series because this isn't a romance series. It's mystery, supernatural, thriller with romance as a side dish. But I like how Whyborne is growing a pair and starting to act with more confidence. I like him and Griffin and that mouthy Christine. They are a trio, but not a menage and it works well as an investigation partnership.
Whybourne gets bolder
