The Girl with the Windup Heart
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
1897 London, a final showdown is about to begin
London's underworld is no place for a young woman, even one who is strong, smart and part-automaton like Mila. But when master criminal Jack Dandy inadvertently breaks her heart, she takes off, determined to find an independent life, one entirely her own. Her search takes her to the spangled shadows of the West End's most dazzling circus.
Meanwhile, taken captive in the Aether, Griffin King is trapped in an inescapable prison, and at the mercy of his archenemy, The Machinist. If he breaks under the hellish torment, The Machinist will claim his powers and control of the Aether itself, and no one in either world will be safe--especially not Finley Jayne and her misfit band of friends.
Finley plunges headlong into the Aether the only way she knows how, by temporarily dying. But she cannot parry The Machinist's maneuvers for long. To defeat him for good, Griffin will have to confront his greatest fear and finally come face-to-face with the destructive power he wields.

Cross concludes her steampunk adventure series with a fourth book wrapping up the fates of her paranormal band of friends who must retrieve one of their own from the otherworldly Aether.Moving back and forth between 1897 London and the shadowy Aetheric realm, the storyline is fueled by separation: Griffin's torn from Finley by the evil Garibaldi, who's torturing him in the Aether, and Mila flees Jack Dandy's house, confused by her feelings for him and determined to discover her place in the world. The action's divided between their stories. Finley (aided by her friends and a special Tesla-designed suit) "dies" to seek Griffin in the Aether. Readers explore that shadowy world with Finley, who encounters there her long-lost father and an old nemesis, Lord Felix August-Raynes. Meanwhile, Mila's story creates provocative paradoxes-she's machine-turned-human, child-becoming-woman with heartaches (will she ever fit in?)-likely to engage readers pondering their own futures and identities. Mila's forthright questions, especially about male-female hypocrisy and double standards (why is it fine for men to enjoy lovers; why do women downplay their intelligence before men?) resonate, making her an engaging favorite in a tale that occasionally feels overpopulated with characters and stories seeking closure.Cross' fans will enjoy this awfully tidy-yet still-satisfying-ending to an intriguing, fast-paced series.
