Smash Attack Reads...Where Smash Attacks Books!

I’m loving the steampunk genre so when I saw this one on NetGalley, I jumped at the chance to read it. I hung in until I was 50% through, and decided to move on. I was not engaged in the story and did not care about the fate of the characters. There were a few cool scenes (when Julia was running from unknown killer) but otherwise, I was not entertained. Honestly, after reading The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook and The Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, the author’s interpretation of the steampunk genre did not captivate me.
