Finley Jayne knows she's not 'normal'. Normal girls don't lose time, or have something inside them that makes them capable of remarkably violent things. Her behavior has already cost her one job, so when she's offered the lofty position of companion to Phoebe, a debutante recently engaged to Lord Vincent, she accepts, despite having no experience. Lord Vincent is a man of science with his automatons and inventions, but Finley is suspicious of his motives where Phoebe is concerned. She will do anything to protect her new friend, but what she discovers is even more monstrous than anything she could have imagined...

An ebook exclusive prequel to The Steampunk Chronicles.

Stress or high emotion brings out a side of Finley Jayne that scares her. A side that has little fear, a love of violence and a daring to test her limitations. But being stronger, faster and having improved senses is an advantage when Finley is hired as a lady's companion to Lady Phoebe Morton and has to use every ounce of skill to keep her safe.

I really enjoyed this prequel. It was a good introduction to Finley Jayne and the history of her character. The world building was interesting and I'm looking forward to discovering more of it in future books in the series. The mystery was obvious but not unwelcome. It was appropriately terrifying and I liked the parallels for Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Frankenstein.

Overall it was a interesting introduction to Finley Jayne and the world she inhabits. Looking forward to reading further books. But for this one, 3 stars. ( )

4 1/2 stars. Very good novella. Introduction to a steampunk series. Main Character is introduced. Can only recommend the steampunk genre. ( )

This quick novella introduces Finley Jayne who has discovered she has unusual strength and a tendency to violence when roused up. In this story she puts her powers to good by protecting a young girl who is part of a plot to reanimate a dead wife! ( )

Being thrown unceremoniously out of a house closely followed by your carpetbag is no way to be fired. Although when you hit a governess so hard she's sent flying across the room without half of her teeth, well one can hardly blame others for thinking her the spawn of Satan and dismissing her without a reference. And so left on the streets with nowhere else to go Finley returns home to her mothers.

Finley is hardly home a day when a job opportunity lands in her lap. However why Lady Morton, a friend of her former employer, is happy to take her on knowing the circumstances of her termination is beyond her. But despite her reservations and the mystery surrounding her new employment, Finley is happy working for Lady Morton. That is until she discovers the sinister reasons behind a Lord Vincent's actions.

The Strange Case Of Finley Jayne is a compact yet feisty story of a girl who is unlike other girls. Finley is intelligent, bold and strong. Incredibly strong. She also has an other self that takes her over in times of stress and anger. As an introduction to the world of automatons, high society and mad scientist, this is the perfect prequel to the Girl in Steel Corset and if it's any indication of things to come, the Steampunk Chronicles should every bit as dark and exciting as this.

This is vaguely charming. Read it. Then don't read the rest of the series because it just ain't it. ( )

"You're the very spawn of Satan and I'll not have you darken this door ever again." Finley Jayne jumped as the door was slammed in her face, leaving her standing alone in the small, damp flagstone square that acted as the servants' entrance to the town house.
