The Unnaturalists
Author: Tiffany Trent
Series: ---
Release Date: 14 August 2012
In an alternate London where magical creatures are preserved in a museum, two teens find themselves caught in a web of intrigue, deception, and danger.
Vespa Nyx wants nothing more than to spend the rest of her life cataloging Unnatural creatures in her father’s museum, but as she gets older, the requirement to become a lady and find a husband is looming large. Syrus Reed’s Tinker family has always served and revered the Unnaturals from afar, but when his family is captured to be refinery slaves, he finds that his fate may be bound up with Vespa’s—and with the Unnaturals.
As the danger grows, Vespa and Syrus find themselves in a tightening web of deception and intrigue. At stake may be the fate of New London—and the world.
I was sucked in as soon as I saw 'alternate London.' I'm a sucker for steampunk stories.
But come on! It sounds fabulous. It reminds me a little bit of the summary of... a contemporary paranormal whose name I'm blanking out on... but it sounds awesome anyway. I want to know exactly what the Unnaturals are and I want to know what the family is doing and I want to know if Vespa and Syrus will be making goo-goo eyes at each other.
What do you think, hmmm? (And can ANYBODY remember the name of that book for me!?)
