Synopsis: "The scarlet tattoo marked him as one who'd never been born. It marked him as a Second."
In a steam-filled world, Seconds run rampant. Split-personalities manifested into human form, these beings possess thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
But do they deserve to live?
One scrap huntress is about to find out.
Tide is no ordinary girl; she zones out, possesses freakishly good climbing skills, and claims to have a serpentine demon after her. Simply put, she's abnormal.
When Tide meets a fanboy named Rye, she thinks she's found her match. He's cute, he's quirky; but there's a problem: Rye is a Second. Can Tide find a way to make Rye whole before his existence kills?
It'll take more than just love and luck on this journey to discover the secrets of the soul.
I’m usually not a big fan of steampunk and I’ve been severely burned by some of them (I’m looking at you Wendy Spinale) but I decided to give this book a try… anddddd… and I thought it was really good for the most part. The world building and the plot were very well developed and the story was engaging for most of the book. The characters were memorable and unique. They were well developed as was the plot.
However, I do feel that the after the first 13 chapters the book took a weird turn and it became a bit harder to follow. I also feel that the last part of the book was very fast paced and uneven with how the rest of the book was told. For the most part the writing was extremely well done, but the ending just threw me off the book.
Verdict: An adventure that only Brindi can write in her own funky, but entertaining way. Seriously, if you’ve not read a book from Brindi Quinn definitely pick one up today.
