About this ebook

When courage and a crack shot aren’t enough

After violence shatters Miranda Fletcher’s world, she swears to protect those she loves. An air captain’s daughter, she has courage enough to battle hungry monsters. Now a different threat hides among them—one much harder to destroy.

 Miranda seeks out her rebel brother, Gideon, for aid. A private inquiry agent, he’s searching for victims no one else dares to find. When one of his father’s airships is blown from the sky, Gideon suspects his cases are linked to the disaster, and his family is the villain’s new target. 

 Danger hides everywhere—in gaslit clubs and drawing rooms, in the secret halls of the mages, and among the monsters of the forest. Uncovering the city’s dire truth could cost Miranda and Gideon their lives—or condemn them to a fate more terrible than the grave.

 

Ratings and reviews

I've really been enjoying the Hellion House Steampunk series, it's been a fun journey from the first book to this one. The characters are interesting and worked in the steampunk atmosphere. I hope there is more in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It’s so good I couldn’t put it down. This is book 3 and can be read as stand alone. I want to read the first 2 books I enjoyed this one so much. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Ever since childhood, Emma Jane Holloway refused to accept that history was nothing but facts prisoned behind the closed door of time. Why waste a perfectly good playground coloring within the timelines? Accordingly, her novels are filled with whimsical impossibilities and the occasional eye-blinking impertinence—but always in the service of grand adventure.

Struggling between the practical and the artistic—a family tradition, along with ghosts and a belief in the curative powers of shortbread—Emma Jane has a degree in literature and job in finance. She lives in the Pacific Northwest in a house crammed with books, musical instruments, and half-finished sewing projects.

Emma Jane Holloway is the USA Today Bestselling author of steampunk and fantasy novels, including the Baskerville Affair and Hellion House series. She lives in the Pacific Northwest in a house crammed with cats, books, musical instruments, and half-finished sewing projects.
