Goodreads Finley Jayne knows she's not 'normal'. Normal girls don't lose time, or have something inside them that makes them capable of remarkably violent things. Her behavior has already cost her one job, so when she's offered the lofty position of companion to Phoebe, a debutante recently engaged to Lord Vincent, she accepts, despite having no experience. Lord Vincent is a man of science with his automatons and inventions, but Finley is suspicious of his motives where Phoebe is concerned. She will do anything to protect her new friend, but what she discovers is even more monstrous than anything she could have imagined. |
This one sounds awesome! I've not read much steampunk (actually, I don't know if I've read any...), but this is something that does sound like something I'd really enjoy. I'm always on the search for an adventure story with a strong female hero, so I'll have to try and pick this up sometime.
ReplyDeleteGreat review, Erika! Thanks so much for sharing this book :)
