Note This novella takes place at the same time as events in Fallow (Whyborne & Griffin 8).
Shy secretary Maggie Parkhurst knows there’s nothing special about her. She’s neither sorceress, nor fighter, nor scholar. What could she possibly have to offer Persephone, the chieftess of the inhuman ketoi—and the woman Maggie’s fallen in love with?
After Maggie’s friend Irene goes missing under mysterious circumstances, she has no choice but to turn to Persephone for help. When the trail leads to a shadowy acting troupe, they discover a plot that stretches much farther than a single vanished woman.
But when a dark truth is revealed, Maggie must choose between a man from her past…and the impossible yearnings of her heart.

It's no secret I love the world Jordan L. Hawk has built around her Whyborne & Griffin characters. Lovecraftian in inspiration and nature, but very much her own. If there's one complaint (and it's a good complaint to have, in my humble opinion), it's that I always want more of the ever-growing supporting cast than the author can reasonably fit in a single book of the series, especially when the series is narrated by the two main characters. So a spin-off novella featuring two of the most under-utilized supporting players in the series was an easy sell for me, especially when I saw the narrator was the delightful Miss Maggie Parkhurst, working alongside Persephone Whyborne, the series' main character's long-estranged sister.Hawk didn't disappoint me: Maggie's voice is true and clear, and different enough from Percival Whyborne and Griffin Flaherty's voices to stand out while sharing many of the men's insecurities. (Seriously, it's not a Hawk book if someone isn't feeling unworthy of being loved or regretting not making the first move. It's part of what I love about her books.) The action sequences are as thrilling as ever, and we get more details on the nature of the Ketoi race that Persephone comes from. And seriously, again: who can resist a fight sequence featuring the Fighting Librarians of the Nathaniel R. Ladysmith Museum?
The novella is just the right length for the story at hand, taking place as it does concurrently with the series novel "Fallow." It also made me hope for further Maggie/Persephone novellas. It also made me hope Hawk will also give us a Chrstine/Kander novella (yes, I know, they're a straight couple ... they still deserve a turn in the spotlight!).

Undertow A Whyborne Griffin Universe Story edition by Jordan L Hawk Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews
I’ve loved Maggie from early in the series because she’s so sweet but also so oblivious at times! I also fell in love with Persephone pretty early on because she’s so fierce and wonderful. I think Christine and Iskander’s wedding is best glimpse of just how well Maggie and Persephone work together because alone, their decorating plans were Out There, but together it ended up being beautiful and unique - and that’s what their relationship is. It was such a sweet story and I’d love more stories that focus on their relationship. I wonder if Persephone will tell Whyborne about her relationship with Maggie, especially considering her idea of boundaries and private information differs in some ways from that of the land dwellers. Overall, a wonderful addition to the W&G series and a sweet happy ending for Miss Parkhurst~
I was so glad to read this book! I'm not really into F/F romance, but I HAD to read about Persephone and Maggie! I'd always felt so bad and amused (I know, that's so mean) about Maggie's unrequited love for Whyborne. Amused because it was used as humor, but bad because she was never a terrible person. She's sweet and innocent and deserves happiness. She just wasn't going to find it with Whyborne. But she found happiness! And Persephone found happiness! And I got extremely embarrassed reading about it!
BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!
I saw that one review said she acted out of character, but I think that Maggie never had a chance to act as strong as she is. She always had Whyborne or Griffin to fall back to. Now she doesn't. She got to stretch her legs and show that she is capable. Not to the extent of the heavy hitters of the series, but she can hold her own. She has strength.
This is creepy villains, supernatural forces, extraordinary humans, complex creatures, great action scenes, and all of the rest of what are the fantastic ingredients in this world of Widdershins.
This takes a bit of time to build, but it works, especially in terms of Maggie, our Miss Parkhurst, and the arc through which her story travels. We learn about how she came to be in Widdershins, experience her intelligence, and watch as her innate strengths gain power and momentum.
Hawk doesn't spend much time setting the scene in terms of what we already know about Maggie. It seems a statement of the obvs, but we already know a decent amount about her through the eyes of many others. That we begin to get more of a sense of who she is from the beginning, it allows for the slow build without it feeling as if there's deliberate, aka annoying, delay in the natural progression of Maggie and her story.
I do wish there'd be more of Persephone. She's the epitome of intriguing and, despite her growing role in the last few Ival and Grif stories, I want more. It made the story feel uneven at times, that there wasn't more of her. A tease for future stories? Hmmm? ;)
This leads me to my next thought, and hope this could become a robust series on its own. Maggie and Persephone would have their own adventures, in multiple locations, as well as time in Widdershins, both with and without Ival and Grif and the gang. Both of these women have so much more to share, with us and each other. Part of me was expecting Whyborne and Griffin to show up, but it wouldn't have worked. This is all about Maggie and Persephone.
Best supporting character statuette goes to Mr. Quinn. What's his dealio, fo reals? He presents as one of the "good guys" but has some... obvious yet still unseen tendencies.
Also, wait til Ival and Grif find out about Maggie and Persephone! Talk about opportunities for awkward, sweet, humor, and much more.
This passage goes to the heart of Maggie's journey in this story
Q Oh God, Persephone. Why hadn’t I just taken the initiative once in my life and told her how I felt? That I’d fallen in love with her. And maybe she would have laughed, but at least I wouldn’t be sitting here with regret like a stone in my chest, crushing the breath out of me.
I dashed the tears impatiently away. Now wasn’t the time to crumble. If the worst had happened, if Persephone hadn’t made it, then the ketoi would have no idea of the plot against them. Which meant I had to get out of here and find help. /Q
This is an important, entertaining, and enticing further expansion of Widdershins and the characters within whom we adore. )
