The Strange Case of Finley Jayne:
So glad my library had a copy with this prequel in it. Really helped me to understand Finley better. She is a down on her luck governess who can't seem to hold a job to save her life. Rather, she loses her jobs because she keeps defending her own and other people's lives.
The Girl in the Steel Corset:
Finley Jayne is not normal. She thinks she might be possessed. Growing up in the late 1800's possession is no joke; understandably she tells no one. Until one night when she gets hit by a motorcycle.
This story was quite the interesting read. I enjoyed reading the story, though a few things did stick out to me. It is obviously a stab at a Jekyll and Hyde retelling. There is a distinct lack of character description.
All we know about the Aunt is that she works for the Queen and favors a piece of jewelry with a chain running from nose to ear. All we know about Finley is that she is tiny, possibly possessed, and starts off blonde. I prefer really accurate descriptions, claim your characters full identity on the page.
It took me a fair bit to get through this little beastie as I had to study for final exams.
