About this ebook

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. And Finley thinks she might finally be a part of something, finally fit in—until a criminal mastermind known as the Machinist threatens to tear the group apart….

Included for the first time in print, meet Finley in her first adventure The Strange Case of Finley Jayne the novella prequel to The Girl in the Steel Corset!

Ratings and reviews

Loved this book from start to finish. So extraordinarily unique and edgy. Though it would have been nice to see the heroine's romance blossom more. Can't wait to read the next one!

Adored this, I didn't think I would like anything with steampunk but I thoroughly enjoyed this. The characters are witty and some of those lines just make you grin. I would recommend this series for sure.

One of my favorite book. Love all the characters. And I wouldn't mind running into Jack Dandy lol
