A Study in Ashes

The Baskerville Affair, Book 3

By: Emma Jane Holloway

Narrated by: Angele Masters

As part of her devil’s bargain with the industrial steam barons, Evelina Cooper is finally enrolled in the Ladies’ College of London. However, she’s attending as the Gold King’s pet magician, handcuffed and forbidden contact with even her closest relation, the detective Sherlock Holmes.

But Evelina’s problems are only part of a larger war. The Baskerville affair is finally coming to light, and the rebels are making their move to wrest power from the barons and restore it to Queen Victoria. Missing heirs and nightmare hounds are the order of the day—or at least that’s what Dr. Watson is telling the press.

But their plans are doomed unless Evelina escapes to unite her magic with the rebels’ machines—and even then her powers aren’t what they used to be. A sorcerer has awakened a dark hunger in Evelina’s soul, and only he can keep her from endangering them all. The only problem is . . . he’s dead.

I Want More

I was skeptical because of some of the reviews but I loved these books. They had a happy ending and that's a biggie for me, but I'm left wondering if there will be more books. In the end something happens to one of the main characters and I want to know what! The author leaves it with a hint there might be more so I'll watch for her books. If you enjoy steam punk you'll love Gail Carriger Finishing School series I did.

Magic, magic everywhere with a few gears

I liked the book and Angele Masters performance. There were so many sub plots that it was a bit unsettling.

my three favorite genres

I love steam punk! I love fantasy! I love mysteries! Emma Holloway combines these admirably!
