A short but thrilling steampunk adventure
5 stars
A short thrilling adventure full of mystery. I highly recommend this prequel but unfortunately the same brilliance didn't go on into the next installment of this series.

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.
A short thrilling adventure full of mystery. I highly recommend this prequel but unfortunately the same brilliance didn't go on into the next installment of this series.
