“Deftly blends elements of Steampunk and vampire romance with brilliantly successful results…darkly atmospheric and delectably sexy.” Booklist Starred Review for Kiss of Steel In the mist-shrouded streets of London’s dreaded Whitechapel district, werewolves, vampires, and a clockwork army are one step away from battle… No One to Trust Dangerous. Unpredictable. That’s how people know the … how people know the hulking Will Carver. And those who don’t like pretty words just call him The Beat. No matter how hard Will works to suppress his werewulfen side, certain things drive him beyond all control. And saucy Miss Lena Todd tops the list.
Lena makes the perfect spy against the ruling Echelon blue bloods. No one suspects that under the appearance of flirtatious debutante lies a heart of iron. Not even the ruthless Will Carver, the one man she can’t wrap around her finger and the one man whose kiss she can never forget. He’s supposed to be protecting her, but he might just be her biggest threat yet…”

Audiobook Review.
I found the audio of the second in the series at my local library so I decided to check out the second in the series.

The way this series works is they are all companion novels, so you follow different main characters with each book. So technically you can read them in any order; however, you meet the main characters in the previous book and I liked the …
This has been such a cool series! I enjoy steampunk, but this takes it to a inter-species, geopolitical brouhaha! I loved Blade and Honor’s story, but I think Will and Lena’s story makes the world expand so much that the stakes feel so much higher. If you enjoy a story with well woven plot twists, this is a winner!
London Steampunk is such an addictive series! The politics, the world building, the character development..heck, even the covers..McMaster’s has caught my attention with a truly absorbing world!
It weird because I do not really lean towards a series like this but it has grown on me. It romance yes, but I feel it has gotten to me where I want to continue on with this. I will say you could walk into this book not going into the first one but you would not understand the relationship between the other couple. Overall from what I have seen …
