Another fun story in this steampunk romance series. These are just the books I need to relax me while admiring a fun romance, adventure, and clever characters.
I was surprised to see Olivia in a lead role, since she didn't really endear herself to me previously. That said, she certainly filled her role. By the end, I found her to be as clever and resourceful as I hoped she would be. Ian is smart, broody, and strong. They have great chemistry and I loved the romantic tension between them. It led to some truly sexy moments and romantic drama.
The story had some great twists and turns. There were monsters, betrayals, murder, and plenty of adventure for our heroes. If you're looking for a breezy, exciting read or pure romantic fun, this is definitely a book for you to pick up. It's a sequel, but you don't really need to read the other books to enjoy this one.

Good
While not as exciting as the first one in my opinion, I still enjoyed learning that there was more to Olivia than what we first saw in Amanda’s book. The only thing I would say is that it was too convenient that Olivia was a type of spy but we saw none of that in the first book. Again, nit picky, but just my opinion.

An excellent follow up to the golden spider, the silver skull follows Amanda’s older sister Olivia and offers a detailed discussion about how women have always been capable of so much more than “marrying.”
Still in the world of medical espionage, Olivia is a highly skilled programmer that makes their medical technology tick. But she’s not allowed to put her real name on her degree or speak of it to anyone. Make no mistake, any woman playing dumb is faking it.
Over and over, others underestimate her. But in classic Hermione style, the male protagonist wouldn’t have lived past chapter 7 without her skill and creativity.
Character driven, well-written, detailed and intelligent medical fantasy, espionage suspense, and an impenetrable castle. What’s not to love?

I enjoyed this book as much as the first one and can’t wait for the next. It is an unusual setting for me and I am surprised that I like it this much.
