The Lady in the Coppergate Tower by Nancy Campbell Allen
5.0
This is a great steampunk retelling of Rapunzel with a blend of vampirism.
Hazel is a Healer. She gets hired to work with Dr. Sam McGinnis. He specializes in working on humans and automatons (bots). Hazel has always dreamt of a girl that looks like her, except for appearance of hair and eye color.
When the mysterious Count Petrescu comes to Hazel with a story that he's a relation and the girl she dreams about is her twin sister who is slowly going mad, Hazel jumps at the chance to go to Romania to save her sister. Sam and his automaton, Eugene, accompany her.
I love Hazel and Sam's relationship. I love to see it slowly bloom from coworkers admiring/desiring each other, but never expressing, to fun flirtation to actual expression of feelings.
The count is cordial, but always with some dark undertone, is something that Hazel and me as the reader, just don't trust.
Now Eugene is so fun too. He's an automaton but he's programmed to act more human and it just makes him stand out.
