A really cool concept for a 'paranormal fantasy' (something I hadn't come across before). Vaguely steam-punk vibes but not in an annoying way. The main character was a little too powerful/perfect (as well as being, of course, a beautiful thin young girl), but that's how it seems to always go in these books!
