I can’t even tell you how long it took me to read this book. I was not wild about it–too much noir detective about the main character. Also, I didn’t care about Emily and I was obviously supposed it. There was some nice imagery, though. [Sept. 2011] (

An action thriller set in a steampunk universe. Interesting though not very deep characters. Good plot. Action hardly stops. (
