~ What's It About? ~
When a crippled young lord rescues a girl falling from a tree, it reveals a secret about himself and his mother's side of the family that could put him at the center of a war with beings he thought only existed in fairy tales. Tristan Gareth Smyth lived his entire life stuck at home at Waverly Park, left behind while his Grandfather makes trips to London, all because of his blasted wheelchair. Then an American heiress falls in his lap, literally, and he must find a way to keep her at a distance to protect not only his secret, but everyone around him from an assassin sent to kill him.

~ My Thoughts ~
At first I was really excited to get to read this as it was my first Steampunk novel!!! Well I didn't really care for the beginning as it was slow to get to the point and I had a hard time figuring out what in the world was going on. After all that I was able to get into the story somewhat, I liked that it was about paranormal things *fairies* in a way in which was a top secret that and to the fact of it had a old world feel to the hole story. I liked how it had a hero and love at the same time. Although the language that was spoken by the characters could have been more understandable I felt that the na's and ye's really slowed me down.
Don't get me wrong it really seemed like a really good story it just wasn't for me. By the end of the story though I caught myself enjoying it more and understanding more of the point of this story so that's a good thing right. The authors of this story really did do a good job writing this story and making it come to life. They left it off as it could continue or it wont which was nice for a chance it didn't leave me with a cliffhanger.
So if asked would i read another story by this author, answer is yes. Did this open my mind up to steampunk novels more yes it did. Thank you to the author's for letting me review their story and letting me have my opinion that means a lot to me.
