Piece Containing Books The Boy in the Smoke (Shades of London #0.5)

I liked this short story more than I liked The Shadow Cabinet. It's a nice backstory of Stephen which helps us really understand him and where he's coming from.

Full review at https://bronzelock619.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-boy-in-smoke-shades-of-london-05.html.This short story, or should I call it a novella as it is definitely long enough to be one, gives us the chance to learn more about Stephen's past, which is wonderful since he was really tight-lipped about it throughout the series. It showed the reason his sister's death affected him so much. As he said in The Shadow Cabinet , his sister was there for him, even skipping her tests, when his parents

A well written and interesting ghost story, with only 80 pages it was a breeze to get through. It tells the story of Stephen Dene, who comes from a rich but dysfunctional family. His parents are hideous. After attempting suicide, Stephen is able to see ghosts and befriends a boy named Peter who drowned at his school and is stuck in a limbo state. This ability leads him to a new life in London, where he becomes a ghostbuster of sorts, and doesnt have to see his vile parents again.I enjoyed every

Stephen.Oh my poor Stephen. After reading this short story, I definitely understand a lot more about him. He was horribly treated by his parents, the only person that truly cared about him died, and he had no place to go. Be forewarned though; the second part of the story is the most heartbreaking part. Seriously, I NEVER cry in books or short stories, but that one damn part made me cry like a baby. After reading this, you'll want to go give Stephen a cupcake and cuddle with him and make sure

SO FULL OF ALL THE STEPHEN FEELS. I can't words right now. Only feels. But surprising feels. Like, feels where you'd expect them, but also SO MANY FEELS WHERE YOU WOULDN'T. I just... Gah.No coherent review coming. If you've read books 1 and 2 in this series, get your hands on this novella whenever it becomes available to you, because you NEED IT. That's all I'll say.

I always knew Stephen's parents were douchecanoes, but I honestly never thought they would be THIS bad. And it's wonderful to finally have the real details into his back story (plus, the good old fashion ghost portions were AMAZING.) And to finally know what his sister was like (and to have her name given) was a great piece to the puzzle, and seeing her personality and how she treated him also gives some good indicators as to why he latched on to Rory so quickly, despite how standoffish he could
