Hannah Howell has created wonderful protagonists in her latest novel If He's Wild and not only that, she has given the reader many memorable secondary characters too.
Lady Alethea Vaughn Channing is a member of the Wherlocke/Vaughn clan, a strong family whose members have special supernatural powers. For Alethea, her gift is the ability to have visions of past, present and future events and since she was five, Alethea has had yearly visions about a handsome man. When her vision foretells his death, she rushes to London to warn him.
Lord Hartley Greville is a government operative and a man of logic, so when beautiful Alethea speaks of her visions he is, of course, skeptical. That all changes when he peruses her sketchbook (over the years she has drawn her visions) and seen his past illustrated on the pages. He and his friends accept not only Alethea's gift but her uncle's too (he sees ghosts) to help them catch a vile woman who is involved with theft, murder and treason.
Hartley and Alethea are a delight; they are strong, bold characters who have a guiding sense of justice and honor. They are not boring in the least as they speak their minds and their thoughts are well written too. Hartley is a little rakish but his biggest hurdle is catching a villainess and believing in love. Alethea knows her heart's desire earlier than Hartley recognizes his emotions. She is patient and loyal and brave. I liked her instantly.
There are many secondary characters in this novel and they never took over the main story, in fact they added to it. Hartley has a niece and nephew he is diligently searching for in France and fortunately, Alethea's family has some extraordinary gifts to help in this search. Also the Wherlockes and Vaughns are charming and witty, making them very likeable.
This novel ends well, both touching and tension filled. The epilogue is sweet and amusing and I can hardly wait until the next Wherlocke, Vaughn story.
