A spine-tingling tale of steampunk and spies, intrigue and heart-racing romance!

But instead of a lunatic, Katharine discovers a genius inventor with his own set of rules, who employs a village of nine hundred people rescued from the workhouses of London. Katharine is now torn between protecting her own inheritance and preserving the peculiar community she grows to care for deeply. And her choices are made even more complicated by a handsome apprentice, a secretive student, and fears for her own sanity.

My Review:
First Steampunk book for 13X13 Challenge... I loved the story twists. I didn't know who was the bad guy until he pounced on the story. Plus I thought it was going to turn into a ghost story :)). Katherine is so level-headed for a girl her age its crazy but not that type of crazy. This was my first book by Sharon... and I can't wait to read book 2- which I got from Netgalley so soon I'll finish that. Lovely book!
