Relation Toward Books The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles #1)

In 1897 England, sixteen-year-old Finley Jayne has no one... except the "thing" inside her. When a young lord tries to take advantage of Finley, she fights back. And wins. But no normal Victorian girl has a darker side that makes her capable of knocking out a full-grown man with one punch... Only Griffin King sees the magical darkness inside her that says she's special, says she's one of them. The orphaned duke takes her in from the gaslit streets against the wishes of his band of misfits: Emily, who has her own special abilities and an unrequited love for Sam, who is part robot; and Jasper, an American cowboy with a shadowy secret. Griffin's investigating a criminal called The Machinist, the mastermind behind several recent crimes by automatons. Finley thinks she can help and finally be a part of something, finally fit in. But The Machinist wants to tear Griff's little company of strays apart, and it isn't long before trust is tested on all sides. At least Finley knows whose side she's on even if it seems no one believes her.

Article Containing Books The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles #1)

The Girl in the Steel Corset is an imaginative and impressive story. Historical, Victorian, Steampunk, automaton, magic and mystery are all the wonderful elements you'll find locked with in these pages. Those who know me, know I've always had issues when it comes to historical and I don't think I've read very many books to even know how I feel about steampunk, but, I really enjoyed this book!Kady Cross, sets this story with gorgeous flow. Not once did it feel dull or dry, which sadly is my issue

I loved this story and look forward to reading more of Kady Cross in the future. I'm pretty stingy with my 5 star reviews, but this one totally deserves it. I adored Finley, Griffin, Emily, Sam, Jack Dandy and Jasper Renn! All these characters were amazing.

This book was really not that good. Sure, the plot was an interesting idea and the characters were set to charm you, but that did not happen in my case.The characters were nothing new in this situation. Main character is a girl who can protect herself in a sea of other fragile girls. Add on the two hot suitors, who not only do both pertain to a certain side of herself,(Dark, good) but she just can't decide which one she likes better.Does this sounds familiar?But, really, this could have been

Finley Jayne isn't normal and can do things normal people can't. One night after being attacked by her employer and beating him up and knocking him out, she runs scared about what he might do to her when he wakes up. When she is making her escape she runs in front of a vehicle driven by Griffin King, Duke of Greythorne and she is knocked out. She wakes up at the Duke's house and finds out she is not the only abnormal one.I loved Finley when I read about her in The Strange Case of Finley Jayne

This book is the first part in a new series called The Steampunk Chronicles, and there is some measure of success in some of the devices used here. The Organites in particular are pretty cool (if borrowing somewhat from Star Trek), as they are tiny life-giving creatures that can heal scars and mend bones. Many of the other steampunk elements are also fun, including the decorative but useful steel corset designed for Finley by her friend Emily.But after awhile, there's almost too much technology

Theres been much talk amongst the blogosphere of a possible upcoming Steampunk craze in YA, in the wake of Cassandra Clares best-selling but incredibly mediocre foray into the genre. Kady Cross, the pseudonym for author Kathryn Smith, mentions in the acknowledgements for her book that she wanted to write a cross between X Men and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. As a fan of both (I have a serious guilty pleasure love of the latter movie adaptation, even though Im perfectly aware of how bad

A really interesting read, but i'm anxious to continue reading more books.
