Clio always kills her stories I am never disappointed. As much as this story is not for me. It is good and I enjoyed the first book, that was also not for me, but I figured why not try the second as well. The first book revolves around Irene, where this book revolves around the other sister, Florence. 100% recommend that you read the triggers this is not a light kinky book. If you have read any Clio Evans books, you know the second part is very true. She is the queen of that but I feel like these are some of the darker books that she is has written. I am not sure why it is not my exact cup of tea could be the steampunk or the time period aspect of the books or I may have been in a reading slump without realizing it.. It just took me longer to read and I was feral in reading it. Like I said it is good and if you liked the first you will enjoy this one ( )
