In an alternate London where magical creatures are preserved in a museum, two teens find themselves caught in a web of intrigue, deception, and danger.
Vespa Nyx wants nothing more than to spend the rest of her life cataloging Unnatural creatures in her father’s museum, but as she gets older, the requirement to become a lady and find a husband is looming large. Syrus Reed’s Tinker family has always served and revered the Unnaturals from afar, but when his family is captured to be refinery slaves, he finds that his fate may be bound up with Vespa’s—and with the Unnaturals.
As the danger grows, Vespa and Syrus find themselves in a tightening web of deception and intrigue. At stake may be the fate of New London—and the world.

My Opinion:
This book was confusing. I really didnt understand the different types of magical creatures or even the world the story takes place in. I needed more background information or at least a better explanation. Besides that and semi-slowness in the beginning, I enjoyed the book. The characters were interesting to say the least. Vespa seemed like a very revolutionary type of girl. I liked the part where they divulged her true history. Things did seem sketchy about her heritage and her mother. Now Praetor Lumpin's whole personality seemed sketchy. Something about him made me think he was keeping a secret from the rest of us. Lastly, Syrus was just plain annoying to me. I cannot say this book was a favorite or that I will definitely read the second book (The Tinker King), but I liked it enough to do a semi-positive review on it though..

P.s. The cover of the book is fabulous. It gives off such a steampunk vibe. I would wear that outfit to a costume party.

Please leave a comment. Good review or nah?
