A Lady of Spirit: A steampunk adventure novel: Volume 6 (Magnificent Devices)
Book 6 in the Magnificent Devices steampunk series! You can choose your friends, but you cannot choose your family … or can you? Under normal circumstances, Maggie and Lizzie would be delighted to meet their long-lost relatives and be reunited with those who had believed them dead, but when are the Mopsies’ circumstances ever to be considered normal? With her half-brother Claude Seacombe, Lizzie travels to Cornwall to meet her mother’s parents. Maggie goes along, too, since she is part of the family … or so one might assume. But the more time she spends in her grandparents’ clifftop mansion, the more she realizes that something is not right, and the events surrounding her own mother’s death are more mysterious-and dangerous-than anyone alive suspects. For an old nemesis is preying on the weak and proud, and no matter how well dressed or well educated a young lady might be, she cannot stand by and watch evil destroy a beloved cousin’s future. Maggie must straighten her spine and plunge into danger for Lizzie’s sake … and prove that no matter the name she bears, she is first and foremost what the Lady of Devices believes her to be … a lady of spirit.

Another Perfect Read,
In this one, we see a lot more adventure and less of the ball gowns and social expectations – I’d still like to see more of The Lady’s lightning rifle, and law-breaking, but even without that this is an excellent read – imagine a Victorian Famous Five, mixed with Oliver Twist, and add some Steampunk flair.
After the last instalment, it’s great to see Maggie find out who she is and where she came from – although I would have liked to see her face The Seacombes after her discovery.
If you’re already reading these books, then there’s obviously no reason not to get this one. If you’ve not read any of them yet, you should go and do that immediately – no matter who you are.
I for one can’t wait for the seventh book.
