'Ever so often,he saw lingering traces in her eyes of the love he'd once believed in.Sometimes, he'd catch her unawares,looking at him with an intensity that hitched his pulse,as if she were trying to capture his image,her heart the camera,her soul the flash'.

I got this book for free on my Kindle and really enjoyed reading it. It was a short, and easy read, but also full of mystery to keep you interested.

Nicolas and Catherine have a wonderful relationship, drawn together mercilessly, but both trying to deny their feelings to each other, and to themselves.

I recommend this to anyone looking for a short but enjoyable read. The story is unique and keeps you turning the page (or tapping your e-reader screen) to see what will happen next.… (más)

In this book it starts off a few months from when the first book ended. Kellan was still on his quest, his families quest. Lily was figuring her powers and trying to figure out how to get herself back into London society, and she does sort, and not in the way you were expecting either. Greyston was still pining for Lily but yet keeping her at arms length, though a decision is made that in the end he regrets, but won't do nothing about because of a secret he feels will him and Lily's relationship.

I liked this book because the story keeps you involved, the writing is great, and the character`s are characters you can get involved with, and get to know and grow with.

What I didn't like about this book is it just didn't seem long enough, I wish there was more. Also one of the major decisions that was made I was totally against and I hope one day it will be rectified, in upcoming.… (más)

This book left me wanting more, wanting more of Lily and Grey, more of Kendall, and also Neco and Ana. I started out reading this and at first it had me a little confused, because I didn't quite exactly know what was going on with Lily, and her visions, but it did start out like you'd see in something like Jane Austen's- Pride and Prejudice. Where the height of society is at a ball, and all the elegible women, are seeking their future husbands, and some have already found them. Well Lily she basically is an 'uptight' lady, who is the most extreme at being proper. She's a no frills kind of girl. Then she meets Lord Adair (Greyston), and she was turned off from him from the very beginning because he had eyes for her friend Evelyn, who was already married to a Duke. Evelyn is the live life to the fullest, need for the thrill, and very flirtatious woman. She loves her husband to death, but is a definite thrill seeker.

Next day or a few days after the ball, Lord Adair calls upon Lily. She doesn't have any clue onto why, until she brings in Ana, and Celludrone (basically a clockwork person, an android for the early era). Lord Adair asks Lily all sorts of questions about her mother, and what she knew about her death, but Lily doesn't really know much. Then he does something drastic and Ana comes to Lily's aid, protects her. Lily is furious and tries to through him, out but doesn't succeed because as she's trying to throw him out, and unexpected guests walks in, she is known by "Lady Ostrich"who later on in the book they find out is a demon. Lady Ostrich then gets into a fight with both Ana and Neco who by the way is a Celludrone himself. They both get defeated, and Lady Ostrich ends up killing Lily. Horrible right? right.

Next thing Lily knows is that she's back with Lord Adair, and he basically kidnaps her. This is where the adventure starts. Lily goes along with Greyston, on this epic journey to find out why they are being chased after by Lady Ostrich, and why their pasts are connected, and why their pasts lead them to one place. The place where her mother was killed "Cragloden Castle".

I loved this book, because one I love a good adventure book, two I love the paranormal aspects, Demons! gotta love Demons, and three because there is passion between Lily and Grey, and that passion is quite intense. It basically fits with today's women and how they think men look at them. The whole i'm not enough this, I'm too much of this and he won't or doesn't like etc. etc. etc. And...AND.... it leaves you hanging wanting more. I recommend this book, especially if you love a series that continues the story from each book to the other, you love steampunk style books.... oh and don't forget the Demons hehe. Plus if a book is so interesting that it keeps you up most of the night because you can't seem to put it down, then you know it's a good book.… (más)
