*I purchased this book at Amazon.com
Amazon Product Description:
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…
An ebook exclusive prequel to The Steampunk Chronicles.
I really enjoyed this story. I grabbed it as soon as I heard it was the prequel to The Girl in the Steel Corset, so I could read it first. Finley Jayne is a fabulous character. I love the mystery as she wonders about herself. I love that she lives by her own rules and that those rules are based on her principles and beliefs.
Kady Cross cleverly weaves clues into the story and creates a wonderful tale. I was pleased with the relationships that developed between Finley and both Phoebe and her mother.
This is a great, fast read! If you are interested in trying out Steampunk for the first time - this is the perfect place to start, and if you are already in love with this new genre, you will have a blast with this book.
