"Action, adventure, steampunk, and blazing hot seduction...Bec McMaster offers it all."—Eve Silver, author of Sins of the Flesh A brilliantly creative debut where vampires, werewolves, and clockwork creatures roam the mist–shrouded streets of London... 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.

Interesting take on vampires and how the author built her society.The steampunk elements were very light. Some bio mechanics, mention of a steam cab -- that was kinda it.I liked the characters for the most part and I found the romantic chemistry was well presented.But the plot and pacing were not sp...
a highly entertaining read. Paranormal, vampire and steampunk are not exactly my genre but i enjoyed it. the book is strong in drama and sexual energy but weak in romance. However i imagine, in this genere, sexual tension is the equivalence of romance. Blade reminds me a little of Derek from Lisa Kl...

I am so tired that I am sleeping while writing this, but I like to dot down my thoughts on book right after I finish them else it disappears from my mind. I am old now, and my brain is full of my job...which is spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations and numbers. So getting this out of the way....
