When a young Lord tries to take advantage of Finely Jayne, she fights back...and wins. But Finely isn't a normal Victorian girl. She has a dark side that enables her to knock out full grown men...ya...so NOT normal!Griffin King sees the darkness inside her and tells her it makes her "special", and says she is one of "them". Griff takes her in off the streets, much to the dismay of hisband of misfits. Emily who has her own special ablilities and has in inrecipracated love for Sam. Sam is part robot, and Jasper, the American cowboy with a secret.
Griff is investigating a criminal called the Machinist who is the mastermind behind several crimes my automan. THe Machinist wants nothing more than to tear Griff and his little band apart. Trust will be tested on all sides.
This was a great book...so not what I was expecting! I have a hard time with books that take a time period (like the Victorian era) and then adding something strange to it...automans for example. Somehow Kady Cross made it work in this book and I fell in love! Maybe it's the way the characters are sooo well written, or that even though there are some "modern" scientific things, they still follow the proper protocal of the times. I LOVE Griff...he is such an upstanding guy...you can't help but like him!! Finley...one love her name...and two...she wants so badly to belong somewhere you can't help but feel bad for her when everything seems to keep blowing up in her face!
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to see where and what happens in the next adventure!
I gave this book 4 Apples!
