They Soon they find themselves working together to uncover why the scientists were kidnapped and stop an evil plan and an invisible enemy, but of course not without some hiccups along the way. This book I would describe as a steampunk fantasy. It’s filled with machines, fashion and action with a dash of romance! The bickering between the two main characters and their personalities just added to the story! I’m giving this four stars
