Off Kilter

I enjoyed this book and especially Strickland’s world building! The slightly askew historical Buffalo, New York that Strickland built here is intriguing. I particularly liked her automatons and hybrids--and the magic she involved in the story didn't hurt, either (I’m looking forward to reading the now-Mrs. McMahon’s book Dead Handsome: A Buffalo Steampunk Adventure!). Boyd was a suitably-disgusting villain and James the kindhearted perfect hero, despite his looks. (Nice to see that in a romance novel!) If you enjoy steampunk or have a thirst for a slightly different kind of historical romance, I think you will love Laura Strickland's Off Kilter: A Buffalo Steampunk Adventure!
