Kiss of Steel (London Steampunk #1) by Bec McMaster

  Kiss of Steel by Bec McMaster

When Nowhere Is Safe

Most people avoid the dreaded Whitechapel district. For Honoria Todd, it's the last safe haven. But at what price?

Blade is known as the master of the rookeries—no one dares cross him. It's been said he faced down the Echelon's army single-handedly, that ever since being infected by the blood-craving he's been quicker, stronger, and almost immortal.

When Honoria shows up at his door, his tenuous control comes close to snapping. She's so...innocent. He doesn't see her backbone of steel—or that she could be the very salvation he's been seeking.

Review

Oh my god, how did I not find these books earlier? Kiss of Steel reminded me of my love of Steampunk and books about it and I loved and thoroughly enjoyed every single page of this novel.

Once upon a time, okay, it feels like that, I read a bunch of Steampunk novels and loved them but somehow I lost sight of them - this book definitely changed that! I can't wait to read the next books in this amazing series! I'm halfway through Tarnished Knight already because that also happened to be on my TBR but I'm looking forward to all of the other books as well.

This imaginative and captivating story with its amazing characters hooked me right from the first page on and I didn't put the book down till the end. Honoria Todd and her siblings try to survive in the rookeries and when she catches the eye of its master, well, somehow this innocent young woman turns out to be much more than Blade, the hard master of the rookeries expected... 

Oh, by the way - isn't this cover absolutely gorgeous?!?
