Book Review: The Girl with the Iron Touch by Kady Cross
“I’m called Endeavor 312.” The girl- Emily couldn’t think of her as a thing- moved closer, crouched on the floor by her bed. “You are the mother.”She frowned. “No, I’m not.”In return, 312 cocked her head, perplexed. “Yes, you are. Your genetic material is inside my own. You speak to metal, understand it. You are […]
Book Review: The Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
Henry lurched to his feet, his gingery hair matted with blood and ichor. His gear was torn at the shoulder, scarlet fluid leaking from the would. “Tessa,” he exclaimed, and then he was beside her, helping her to her feet. “By the Angel, we’re a pair,” he said in his rueful Henry way, looking at […]
Book Review: Pantomime by Laura Lam
“‘Nice try, love,’ she said, and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. “It won’t be so terrible, just you wait and see.” I hoped she was right. And so I bathed and brushed and shaved and scented myself. All the while, I tried to stifle the feeling that it was like a holy […]

Steampunk 101 with author Suzanne Lazear
Steampunk has been around for decades, but has really gained popularity in the past few years. But what exactly is that Steampunk stuff anyway? Imagine a world where steam and natural gas, not coal and electricity, are the primary power sources. Steampunk transports us to a place abounding with airships, gas lamps, gears, cogs, and […]
Book Review: The Girl in the Clockwork Collar by Kady Cross
Wildcat turned her attention to Finley. “I know you. You’re the one that was here with the Irish witch.” “She would prefer to be called a scientist” came Finley’s drawled reply. “I’ll give her your regards.” The dark girl turned back to Jasper. “She’s almost as much a smart-arse as you.

Book Review: The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross
“What have I done? she whispered. What you had to do. She felt his neck for a pulse, relief engulfing her as she found it. She hadn’t killed him. At least she wouldn’t hang. But she had still attacked the son of a peer of the realm and there would be consequences. Three jobs in three months and they’d all ended with […]
