I didn’t know what to expect and I choose this book because I found the blurb fascinating and I thought it could be a lot of fun.
It is a lot of fun but even if the blurb talked about Agatha Christie I can say that it’s quite different, more steampunk mixed with intrigue and secret society than Golden Age tropes.
This is a gripping and highly entertaining story, I had a lot of fun reading of the organisations, how it works and the secrets that can exist in a secret organization.
The plot is fast paced, full of twists and turns, well written and I wasn’t able to put it down once I was hooked (after a few pages).
Marion is a very interesting characters: a girl who was hurt by life and is struggling for her independence and happiness. The character development is excellent and the cast of characters is fleshed outand interesting.
I loved the complex and detailed world building and I hope this is part of a series because I want to learn more about the organization and the characters.
I had a lot of fun reading it and it’s highly recommended.
Many thanks to Harlequin Park Row and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
