*The following text is an honest, spoiler free review. Please enjoy*
WARNING: Expect fangirling, romance, steampunky stuff, Twilight reference (I love the author for this one), and plot twists. That is as spoilery as I go which really isn’t because if you have read the first book this is generally what these books are about so… yeah.
In an alternate version of our past Evaline Stoker (sister of Bram Stoker author of Dracula) and Mina Holmes (niece of Sherlock Holmes) have been paired up to solve the crimes that no one else can. After they proved themselves in the events of the Affair of the Clockwork Scarab, Princess Alix once again asks for their help. This time with 17 year-old Willa Ashton who stuck in grief of her mother’s death and her brother’s disappearance she has turned to mediums and seances in order to contact them. When things start escalating from bad to worse they will have to rush to solve this crime before it comes to an end.
To understand my excitement over this book imagine a small petite girl with glasses standing in front of the YA new book section squealing when she sees this book. Then imagine that same girl curled up in a recliner that practically dwarfs her slamming the book down when she is done with it 3 hours later because she can’t wait for the next book. Yeah that pretty much sums up that excitement but you have to understand that I love steampunk to no end. Stoker and Holmes series welcome to my #1 position on my favorite books list.
Colleen Gleason you are a literary genius so here is that 5 out of 5 stars you deserve. I got no faults to claim you on :)
