Publisher's Description 

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.


Book Review

Book Recevied : Library Check out 


Why I Picked it UP; It was a different take on steampunk. The Unnaturalists, take place in a Victorian time frame. This alternate London, splinted off from  Victorian England and continued in that Victorian manner. I picked up this book, because I was able to hear a reading of it done by the author and wanted to know how it finished.  The Mani two characters of the novel or  complex. Vespa is shape and intelligent   Syrus is clever and brave. I felt more connected to Syrus then Vespa.

Why I finished it: I enjoyed the book,  it left me wondering if there will be another one. The ending of the book was confusing in that regard  Is this the end to is there another one. Almost everything was wrapped up by the end. 

Who I would give it to: I would give it to, ,my co-worker who loves all things Victorian.
