Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell are my favorite YA lit couple.
If Kerri Maniscalco would write more books from Thomas's perspective, I would literally read them all. His energy is fun, but mysterious. It's like he's a perfect gentleman but has no problem teasing Audrey Rose to the very edge. It's a fantastic dynamic.
So Becoming the Dark Prince is a short novella, about a hundred pages.
It's set on the carnival cruise ship from Escaping from Houdini, specifically the scene where Audrey Rose takes a knife to the leg. I read it between Escaping from Houdini (book 3) and Capturing the Devil (book 4). It's definitely a lighthearted read between all the macabre we're used to reading when dealing with these characters. It felt like a reminder that they were still only 17 years old.
There's not much to be said plot wise because we already know what happens in the end. But reading it through Thomas's eyes and feeling all the emotions he was feeling was an absolute treat.
I'll be starting Capturing the Devil soon!
