Entertaining steampunk fantasy
Ms. Dunay has created a very interesting universe that is a combination steampunk and fantasy with airships, railroads, horses, supernatural villains, and an originally naive young protagonist who inherits an isolated estate that turns out to have an asylum for possessed souls. Are they possessed and dangerous or just abused by the creepy, less then well-intentioned female warden? On the train there, she encounters a charming stranger who tries to befriend (or maybe court) her, and later another handsome, but less interested stranger who has been hired by some of the local folk to rid them of the supernatural evil doings that seem to be menacing their town. Thrust into a new and very confusing situation, will Chloe make the right choices? And is there a budding romance ahead? The only certainty is that things will get worse before they get better. This is the first book of a trilogy.
