The Book Dragon recommends H. L. Burke's fun steampunk romance series about reformed cat burglar Nyssa Glass and has given each of the three books 5 claws!
Book 1: Nyssa Glass and the House of Mirrors
My 5 star review: "I had NO idea what to
expect with this book, but *wham* the story gripped my throat at the
beginning and didn't let go until the final page. I love the title
character, her mentor, and the computer she befriends in the deliciously
creepy mansion. Lots of twists and turns in the plot, and riveting
suspense. Highly imaginative and fun to read. I wanted to buy some
goggles like Nyssa's, and she had some cool tools! I look forward to the
next in this new series!"
Book 2: Nyssa Glass and the Juliet Dilemma
My 5 star review: "Having
read book 1 of Nyssa's adventures, I looked forward to continuing her
story. This one is a non-stop tale of suspense, cool gadgets, mysterious
antagonists, and I loved the continuing interaction between Nyssa and
Ellis. It's fun to journey with two smart, quirky young people. I
alternate between gasping over their peril and smiling at their budding
love. I recommend this series for anyone who likes urban
fantasy/steampunk, adventure, suspense, and romance. Waiting for #3!"
Book 3: Nyssa Glass and the Cutpurse Kid
My 5 star review: "Another
great episode in the Nyssa Glass series! I love the blend of danger,
romance, and the unexpected in this story. Nyssa and Ellis grow more and
more "real" and this reader grows more and more fond of them. The new
characters are delightful, and the details of the new setting are gritty
and realistic. There are so many great lines, it makes me want to learn
how to "highlight" on my Kindle! I hope there are more in this series!
And I wish I could try on Nyssa's cool goggles!"
The Book Dragon and I sure hope there will be more in this great series!
Two more in the line up, a Christmas Special being edited for release in October ... and a big exciting one I just started writing and would like to have out early next year. ;)
