雪怪偵探社 4：外西凡尼亞特快車（宛如RPG實境遊戲的互動式推理小說）: P : : RPG 4 1 2 3 4 PGareth P. Jones BBCBlue Peter Award Louise Forshaw 23100
作者: 加雷思．P．瓊斯 | 繪者: 露易絲．佛修 | 譯者: 林劭貞
★一本無法按照頁數順序閱讀的小說，劇情走向完全取決於「你」的判斷與組織能力，體驗彷彿RPG實境遊戲的互動式推理！
★本次案件有多位嫌疑犯和數條線索，「你」所做的決定，將導向4種不同的結局！
一封神祕的邀約，讓「你」和雪怪偵探克勞斯踏上拜訪吸血鬼始祖的旅程。列車上聚集了許多熟面孔，也有一些素未謀面的生物，大家都祈禱自己是今年萬中選一的幸運兒，想請「蝙蝠男爵」實現心願。根據乘務員所說，列車車門在行駛期間無法開啟，然而就在你們搭上車的第七天早晨，夜間市長弗蘭肯芬居然消失了！
少了一個覬覦和蝙蝠男爵見面的競爭者，對各懷鬼胎的乘客們大有好處，包括弗蘭肯芬的政治勁敵吸血鬼布蘭威爾、渴望取代弗蘭肯芬的精靈副市長珊德拉、為了捍衛博物館而與弗蘭肯芬槓上的蛇髮女妖陶德惠索館長、蝙蝠男爵的瘋狂粉絲法老拉美帝帝等。究竟這起失蹤案的真相為何？牽涉到吸血鬼與狼人的古老預言，是否為破案的重要關鍵？詭譎的案情就此隨著疾駛的外西凡尼亞特快車急轉直下……
弗蘭肯芬的失蹤真的與求見蝙蝠男爵有關嗎？
列車上的每扇車門是否確實符合安全規範？
身為世仇的吸血鬼與狼人居然在同一天誕生，他們的起源有何祕密？
「你」在上回辦案過程中意外獲得魔法能力，為雪怪老闆帶來許多助力。這次，無論是令人匪夷所思的失蹤案，或是關乎吸血鬼與狼人的神祕預言，「你」都將揮動魔法之筆一一化解！
※破案提示：
「你」得在每個章節結束時選擇下一個要調查的嫌疑犯或地點，所有決定將導向四個不同的結局，是否能順利破解謎團，端看「你」的推理與組織能力！
人物介紹
克勞斯．索斯塔
毛茸茸的雪怪，長滿白毛的臉上有著一雙亮晶晶的黑色眼睛和溼潤的粉紅色鼻子。他是一名私家偵探，也是「你」的老闆，雖然他花了很多時間調查這個世界的陰暗面，不過在那身毛皮之下，仍隱藏著一顆溫柔的心。
「你」
沒有超能力但心思細膩的人類，在報紙上看到雪怪偵探社的徵人啟事便前來應徵，順利成為雪怪的新一任助理。儘管你的老闆是名優秀的偵探，但他的組織能力很糟，得仰賴你幫忙記錄案件的所有細節，因此你的筆記本從不離身。最近意外獲得魔法能力，正在向女巫學習如何使用。
惡煞梅塔
由弗蘭肯芬博士透過怪物製造機所創造出來的怪物，身體大多部位取自人類的屍塊。擁有兩顆心臟，姍姍來遲的重量級女主角，復活過程一波三折。由於臉太僵硬，做不出表情，因此說話時會把自己的情緒摻雜在對話中一起表達。弗蘭肯芬將她設定為乖巧、沒有主見的妻子，然而她無法控制自己的心意，愛上了其他生物。招牌名言：我並沒有，把我的心交給別人，它是被偷了。長長的嘆息。
家務怪寶
弗蘭肯芬大量製造的迷你怪物，被拿來分送給選民以拉抬人氣。體型嬌小，絲毫不占空間，只會說幾個固定的詞和打理家務。自從被鐵路公司採用後，便負責包辦外西凡尼亞特快車上的所有雜事，工作相當繁重。本應沒有自我，後來卻逐漸發展出了思考能力。招牌名言：讓怪寶幫忙……讓怪寶幫幫忙……
包特茲
女巫姐妹火娜拉．米可鳥和布莉姬．米可鳥利用弗蘭肯芬的怪物製造機所創造出的紫髮怪物，為她們的免費僕役。個性溫吞、任勞任
，經常受到兩位女巫的欺侮和訕笑。製造時並未被賦予情感，身體裡卻住著感性的靈魂，甚至有了愛人的能力。招牌名言：我們都值得——愛。
奈傑爾．瑞瑪洛（夫）和珊德拉．瑞瑪洛（妻）
個頭嬌小的精靈夫妻。奈傑爾經營一間魔法家電行，是魔法專家。珊德拉擔任避風鎮副市長，為自視甚高的女強人。他們的女兒艾芬娜在異象警隊服務。本趟旅程美其名為夫妻的二次蜜月，只是事情似乎不如想像中單純。招牌名言：結婚三十年，至今我們仍像初識那天相愛。
蠻牛．紅磚
身材矮小、頭戴紅帽的地精，外西凡尼亞特快車的乘務員，負責接待旅客，管理車上的大小事務。個性單純、容易緊張，嚴格遵守乘車規定。最討厭不買票的偷渡客，對占據行李車廂的哥布林更是恨之入骨，一直想找機會把他們強制驅離。到了失魂落魄村後，與一位女子陷入熱戀。招牌名言：那些哥布林都沒有買票，我完全無法接受這種行為！
奧美
巨魔，頭部東凸一團、西多一塊，彷彿匆促灌模的爆漿麵包。外西凡尼亞特快車的駕駛員，性格與一般巨魔差異極大，大部分時間都非常溫和，甚至擁有一副悅耳的嗓音。除了駕駛火車，偶爾也會照看提供燃料的火鳳凰佛絲蒂娜。為了得到家務怪寶，和弗蘭肯芬進行一場祕密交易。招牌名言：沒有燃料，我們哪裡都去不了。
法老拉美帝帝
木乃伊，魔具珍寶博物館館長的多年好友。身為館長孫女喬琳的家庭教師，常對這位叛逆的青少女莫可奈何。十分感謝陶德惠索館長為他接上大腦，讓他可以像正常人一樣思考，只是那顆腦袋似乎不是他的……招牌名言：只有自身無趣的人，才會老覺得無聊。
喬琳．陶德惠索
蛇髮女妖，陶德惠索館長的孫女，正值叛逆期的青少女。頭上的毒蛇十分暴躁、有活力，因此必須戴著迷你墨鏡，防止牠們隨時把看不順眼的生物變成石頭。在家自學，沒有和其他同齡孩子一起就讀避風鎮異能學院。經常挖苦或反駁家庭教師法老拉美帝帝。招牌名言：他們唯一的罪行就是讓我無聊的要死。
蝙蝠男爵
隱居深山的吸血鬼，曾在一夜之間獨自消滅一座村莊，在異世界具有崇高地位。據說個性暴躁易怒，其實本人更像一位氣場強大的老頑童。招牌名言：抱歉，我太久沒有與別人交談，得花點時間開嗓。
赫基爾博士
蝙蝠男爵的得力助手，身形高瘦、彬彬有禮的紳士。由於只能說實話，因此在接待訪客時必須特別小心。萬一說了謊，會經歷一連串劇烈的變身過程，外形和人格都轉變為另一個分身。招牌名言：抱歉，我的分身總是惹毛大家。
假博先生
蝙蝠男爵的得力助手，個子矮小、粗野無禮的男子。由於只能說謊話，因此在接待訪客時必須特別小心。萬一吐露實情，會經歷一連串劇烈的變身過程，外形和人格都轉變為另一個分身。招牌名言：這裡的懸崖很安全，你們不會掉下去摔死。

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book.
Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray.
I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more.
I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things.
It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic.
I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together.
I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray.
Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.
