I received this book for free through GoodReads FirstReads competitions.
I thought that this was an absolutely amazing! It is the third book in the Stoker and Holmes series of crime solving novels. Even though the characters of Milna Holmes (niece of Sherlock) and Evaline Stoker are quite opposites of each other they both have the same goal, to unmask and capture The Ankh. The novel is set in 1889 London, where it starts off with a bittersweet rivalry between the two girls ends up being a partnership and a friendship.
There is plenty of banter between the two characters which adds the fun and silly element too it, aswell as being full of suspense. It blends steampunk, paranormal and history elements beautifully and there is a nice pace all the way through so their isn't a boring part to read. It compels you to read it and never want to put the book down. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes steampunk and crime novels. I hope to read more from this fantastic author!!
