"Wicked Gentlemen" is the perfect dark fairytale. A cross between steampunk and slash and oddly, for me, the Sherlock Holmes stories (maybe it was all the descriptions of Victorian style drawing rooms). From page one I was hooked, instantly drawn into Belimai and Harper's world, with the gestapo-esque Inquistioners, the horrific prayer engines, the nightmare landscape of Hell's Below and the promise of an illicit love affair.
All the ingredients of a good read were there for me, well developed characters, a fascinating and well drawn alternate universe, an engrossing plot and as an added bonus the protagonists were gay, which, being an avid slash fan, made a wonderful book even better. I finished it in one sitting and was left longing for more.
