----------------
In New York City, 1897, life has never been more thrilling - or dangerous. Sixteen-year-old Finley Jayne and her "straynge band of mysfits" have journeyed from London to America to rescue their friend Jasper, hauled off by bounty hunters. But Jasper is in the clutches of a devious former friend demanding a trade-the dangerous device Jasper stole from him...for the life of the girl Jasper loves.
One false move from Jasper and the strange clockwork collar around Mei's neck tightens. And tightens.
Girl In the Steel Corset, Steampunk Chronicles book one, and it's prequel, The Strange Case of Finley Jayne, were some of the coolest reads in 2011. The story and characters are fantastic, Kady Cross has created a rich world of imagination were she pushes the fantastical elements of steampunk. Not only is Finley Jayne one of the toughest heroines around, Cross has a particular talent for creating fascinating and rich heroes. The Girl in the Clockwork Collar is an absolute must read for 2012.
