Title: The Girl in the Steel Corset
Author: Kady Cross
Publisher/Publication Date: Harlequin; May 24, 2011
My Teasers:
"As she reached the pool, she realized it wasn't fog curling around the wet grass. Fog wasn't hot--steam was. It burned her as she walked through it to stand on the stone edge. There was no more than two inches of water left in the entire pool, and there, lying in the middle of it, was a sopping wet Griffin, steam pouring off him like a teakettle at full boil."

AND
"Realization hit her hard--he had stopped his aunt's intrusion into her mind, and this was the result of whatever he'd done. For her. She could have kissed him right then, if she hadn't though this lips might blister hers."

That's it for now. The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross is excellent so far! Steam-punky, set in late 1800's London and full of fantastic paranormal romance and suspense. I'm loving it and having a hard time putting it down!

  15. I think steampunk is going to be the new fad in YA fantasy. I don't know how I feel about that. I love steampunk, for sure, but I'm afraid of what's going to happen when EVERYONE jumps on that bandwagon. :)
