    Product Description

    Nimira is a foreign music-hall girl forced to dance for mere pennies. When wealthy sorcerer Hollin Parry hires her to sing with a piano-playing automaton, Nimira believes it is the start of a new and better life. In Parry’s world, however, buried secrets are beginning to stir. Unsettling below-stairs rumors swirl about ghosts, a madwoman roaming the halls, and Parry’s involvement with a league of sorcerers who torture fairies for sport. Then Nimira discovers the spirit of a fairy gentleman named Erris is trapped inside the clockwork automaton, waiting for someone to break his curse. The two fall into a love that seems hopeless, and breaking the curse becomes a race against time, as not just their love, but the fate of the entire magical world may be in peril.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT

    I just thought this was such a wonderful read and it really combines a wonderful paranormal romance with steampunk fantasy.   Although this book is geared towards younger teen readers, most adult who like either of these genres will definitely fall in love with Nimira, the main character.  It reminded me somewhat of a classic fairy tale like Beauty and the Beast.  The story quickly evolves and you will find yourself staying up late to finish this one.  Now I wonder when the next one will be released since it left me hanging.

      Great review! This wouldn’t normally be my type of book, but it seems quite interesting. I’ll watch out for it at the library!
