Kiss of Steel (London Steampunk #1) by Bec McMaster

Kiss of Steel (London Steampunk Book 1) by Bec McMaster Paperback: 448 pages Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca (September 1, 2012) Rating: 3 out of 5 stars This isn't a bad book, but there's very little steampunk in it. I think the most steampunk you get in this book is a brief introduction to a man with a replaced limb, which seems more like a prosthetic as I believe the limb doesn't run on steam. I do wish the differences between vampires and "blue bloods" was explained better.

I would have described this book as paranormal romance, maybe even historical romance, I would not have used the term steampunk to describe it. I might try some more of the series, but from the view point that I am reading a romance story, and not a steampunk story. Not that they need to be exclusive, it's just that at the end of book 1 I haven't seen anything that I would have deemed steampunk.
