I have to admit I was very excited for this book. Emily is one of my favorite secondary characters and so I was happy that she got her own book. That may have ended up coloring my enjoyment of the book. Expectations were just too high. Sometimes you just have to temper that so you can sit back and just enjoy the book.
While I did enjoy the book, I felt a bit let down and felt like Emily was the not the star of the book. While we got quite a bit of her character and her spunkyness, it just felt li ...more

This book was gifted to me by the publisher through Net Galley for an honest review. Expected publication: May 28th 2013 by Harlequin TEEN. Thank You.

Another good book in the Steampunk Chronicles. There was some great romance and an interesting new character introduced. I'm very much looking forward to the next book.
