review 1: I haven't read a lot of Steampunk novels, but I greatly enjoyed this one. Devon Monk perfectly blends magic, steam tech, and the grimy west for a unique world that hopefully expands to even greater detail in future novels. Character wise, each one brought a different view and per...

review 1: I think I'm becoming a steam punk fanatic, I love this series. The only thing I hate is that it takes so long between books. At least with the Allie Beckstrom series I purchased it at the end and I was able to read them all at once. I love Cedar Hunt and Rose, they are my favori...

review 1: Normally going into the second book in a series i worry that it wont hold as much weight as the first book but this certainly holds its own. i love the intro of captain hink and his crew they were a delight and the reappearance of mr shunt who is still creepy as creepy can get! i...

review 1: I love everything Devon Monk has ever written, and this book didn't disappoint. If anything, I was pleasantly surprised! I didn't really think it was "my kind of thing" from the description, but got it because I love Devon's writing. And as usual, she pulled me in from the very f...

review 1: Not sure what I was thinking when I picked up this book. From the description and other reviews this sounded kinda like a female version of The Dresden Files. The cover should have been a warning, but being the brave reader, I plowed forward. Actually it was a decent read but def...

review 1: Now that I've finished the 2nd book, I am fully immersed in this series. I really quite like the main character- she's a good blend of stubborn, but willing to give in when it's needed unlike some other paranormal heroines who are stubborn to the point of idiocy. The plot is inte...

review 1: This is the third book in the series and might be the beginning of true understanding of what is going on. The push and pull from all different directions on Allie causes for some real WTF moments surrounding the thing that don't seem connected, but really are. By far the greates...

review 1: And another good book from Devon Monk. Took me a day to get through it and that's with a Math test due. I felt like this book shed alot of light on some aspects of Allie's life. I do like it that a bit more time has come and gone from the last book till this one. Gave here some t...

review 1: Take two for the review (it'll be shorter).It had been several months since I'd delved into the world of Allie Beckstrom. This is one of those series that I'm actually cheering myself for reading it as late as I did. I had read the first book years ago, but never continued wit...

review 1: Ta da! That is how a series should end. An awesome and brilliant story that answered all our questions about Allie's past and her seemingly distant father. A very well written book that tied all loose ends. I could definitely read this again. One of the best books I've read but m...

review 1: This is one series that really does keep getting better despite nothing being resolved yet. One book flows into the next one seamlessly, so it's a continuing adventure leaving you wondering just what they could possibly handle next. A fugitive from both the law and the Authority,...

review 1: More like 4.5 StarsI want to say that so far of this series this has been one of my favorites.Yes, Zay has changed. Yes, Allie is changing. To be honest, most of the characters are becoming more complex, even Alli's Dad. I think these things are expected and I would be more upset...

review 1: Once again, I have come into the middle of a series -- something I seem to do frequently, whether it be from the library, in this case, or a book that I have picked up at a previously loved book shop. It was just a bit confusing at first, since this is the fifth book (I think) in...

review 1: Excellent send off for the Series.Magic is poisoned. Allie is unable to use magic without hurting herself. Leander and Isabelle, the strongest soul compliments ever, have possessed the Overseer of the Authority. The Overseer has sent Seattle to shut down Portland and close or kil...

review 1: A decent collection of short stories. Other than a few cases where the writing is, in the author's own words, "florid", the language is clear and communicates well. The stories in the first half are better than those in the last half, with the exception of the last two stories ...
