Review:
I accepted this request because I found the blurb to Night Watchman Express very interesting . Now I am glad I did. I enjoyed every part of this book. The characters were a pure joy to read. I felt myself cheering for Miriam and wanting to smack her new guardians for their treatment of her.
Miriam, who's father died finds out she had new guardians. I honestly don't blame her for her behavior with these two. Mainly Theo, the 'aunt'. If I had to deal with someone like her I would behave badly as well. It wasn't until a governess, Mana who appeared out of nowhere , did she change into a lovely, young lady. I really liked Mana, she was one of my favorite characters as well as Neil and Simon.
This story was such a fun read, filled with drama, humor and tons of danger. I can't wait to dive into the next book, Devil's Kitchen. So if you love Steampunk and everything else I mentioned then I highly recommend this book.

Review:
Book 2, Devil's Kitchen, the story picks up exactly where we left off in The Night Watchman's Express. Miriam and Simon are separated. Miriam is made to work at a horrendous factory and Simon is kept prisoner in a different fashion.
I read this book in one day , in fact just a few hours. I honestly feel this book was better than the first. The action continues fast and furious as Neil and Mana try and rescue Simon and Miriam. Though the chapters are told in 3rd POV as is the book, we get to jump from scenes with Miriam, Simon, Neil and Mana. I thought maybe I might be confused but the author did a fantastic job making sure that wasn't the case.
If you haven't read this series, I would definitely recommend it. I can't wait to dive into Lamplighter's Special and find out what adventure is next for these group of characters.

Review:
Book 3 in this series, dealt with Lizzie , Ninna and Matlida, Neil's sisters. I really enjoyed getting to know these characters as well. Though this book is surrounded around mainly Lizzie and Ninna , we follow them through their struggles to keep their family together and survive. We also see some nasty characters reappear.
This book was filled with all the drama , humor as the other book with a bit more romance, which I must say I love the blossoming romance of young love. One moment broke my heart and I so didn't expect it to happen. I can't tell you or I will ruin it for you. But I will say that you must read this series. It just gets better with each book I really hope this series continues on, which by the way this book ended it will be and I can honestly say I can't wait to read the next book.
