There are no words to explain what I thought of this book... well actually there are. This was the most unique, strange, weird and just out-there book I have read, if not in a while, then ever! You have got to read this book. From the concept to the characters to the world building, it's just so unique you won't be able to stop talking about it. I know I haven't.

An excellent debut novel that's a delicious hybrid of magic, bloodthirsty paranormal creatures, and steampunk. This is the story of Tish, magically transported to another world by a ruby locket. She's greeted by the gorgeous Criminy Stain, a Circus Master and Bludman (a type of born vampire), who bespelled the locket to bring his true love to him. Before long the locket is stolen by an evil man who is trying to rid the world of Bluds, and Tish and Criminy embark on a dangerous voyage to steal it

I'm struggling a bit to decide how much I liked this book...or not. I think I have decided that as a steampunk, fantasy mash up it was entertaining with some pretty good world building and political issues that I would like to see continue and be developed and characters I want to catch up with again in the future. As a romance...meh. I liked both the H and h, they were fun and interesting, but I'm not sure I bought the HEA--more of a HFN, I guess. There were some unanswered questions at the end

I don't usually read these types of steam punk books, if that's what you call them. So when I saw this book at the library, i figured that I would give it a try... and found I liked it. It is very well written, great story... and I got goosebumps when i read the last chapter! Can't wait to read the next book!

Really really good!

Loved the idea of this and all the characters. I just wanted a little bit more from the storyline. I'm definitely interested in reading Casper's story next.
