My pick this week is...
Author: Colleen Gleason
Release Date: September 17th, 2013
------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Two young women of similar age and standing have disappeared: one found dead and the other still missing. The only clue to connect them is a small Egyptian clockwork scarab. Only Miss Stoker and Miss Holmes are well-positioned enough—similar in age and stature as they are to the victims—to investigate.
An unlikely
pair, the fierce Evaline Stoker and logical Mina Holmes must follow in
the footsteps of their infamous families—Miss Holmes has inherited her
Uncle Sherlock’s keen investigative skills, while Miss Stoker has
accepted her family calling as a hunter of the undead. The partners must
find a way to work together, while navigating the advances of a strange
yet handsome American, a clever Scotland Yard investigator, and a
cunning thief, to solve the mystery of the clockwork scarabs.
Set in steam punk London, steeped in Egyptian mythology
and literary references, with a surprising time travel twist and compelling romantic triangles, Colleen Gleason has crafted a fast-paced and romantic debut young adult novel.

I actually just got approved for this one from Edelweiss and it was the first time that I had heard of it, but it sounds awesome and I'm really excited to read it! I mean it's steam punk, and two literary giants daughters kicking butts and taking names. What's not to love about that?!
What are you waiting on this week? I wanna know!

This one sounds really interesting! Miss Stoker and Miss Holmes? That should be quite the combo! I'm curious to see how it turns out.
Ooh I hope you love this one! Steampunk is a really underdone genre in YA so I'm really excited to see where this goes. I can't wait to see what you think of it, Christianna. Great pick!
