Book of the Week 2/24/14

The Girl in the Steel Corset is takes place in the late eighteen-hundreds, focusing on sixteen-year-old Finley Jayne. Finley doesn't have much money, but what she does have is very unusual, powerful, and dark. Sound cliche? Get over it; it's not. Despite the story taking place over a century ago, automatons roam the streets, and technology is abundant. Many modern luxuries are made possible by the red-haired genius Emily, a young Irish inventor and friend of Griffin King, the teenage duke of Greythorne.
I'd say The Girl in the Steel Corset is Sci-Fi/Fantasy. There's some cursing, sexual implications, and a fair amount of violence. I'm not going to put an age range on it, but read it if you can handle it, don't if you can't.
By the way, there's two sequels: The Girl in the Clockwork Collar and The Girl with the Iron Touch.

I think that's Finley, but the book describes her as blonde.
That's Mei, who you don't meet until the second book.
Unless I'm mistaken, that's Emily.
