2 STARS!!! 
 I'm feeling really disappointed as I'm writing this review. I was really hoping that I would love the hell out of this book. It's LGBT, it takes place in an alternate Victorian era, and it had a sliver of a mystery thrown into it. But sadly it was B-O-R-I-N-G. I enjoyed the romance between Danny and Colton, but the story kept dragging on and on and on and nothing seemed to be picking up until about 300 pages in and that is not a good thing. I liked the story surrounding clock spirits and there were tiny bits of this book that I did like, I will say that. I'd also never read anything to do with steampunk before and so this was my introduction to that too and I'm now more interested in that sub-genre and will be checking it out. 
 I was truly hoping that the "mystery" in this would save it for me (because you all know I love my Victorian era mysteries) mysterious clock tower bombings in an alternate Victorian era? It sounded awesome as hell but in the end it fell flat and though I really wanted to, I couldn't bring myself to enjoy the entire book and sadly I won't be carrying on with the trilogy. If you've been wanting to check it out I'd say borrow it from the library and then decide if you want to buy a copy or not. 
 I was sent a finished copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from Sky Pony Press. All thoughts are my damn own. :-) - Richard
