What's left of their archenemy, The Machinist, hungers to be resurrected, and Emily must transplant his consciousness into one of his automatons—or forfeit her friends' lives.With Griffin being mysteriously tormented by the Aether, Finley turns to Jack Dandy, but trusting the master criminal is as dangerous as controlling her dark side. Meanwhile, Sam is searching everywhere for Emily. He would walk into hell for her, but the choice she must make will test them more than they could imagine.To save those she cares about, Emily must confront The Machinist's ultimate creation—an automaton more human than machine. And if she's to have any chance at triumphing, she must summon a strength even she doesn't know she has...
Out of all the books in this series so far, I think this one has got to be my favorite! I just loved it! I really liked the premise of the book with poor Emily being kidnapped and being forced to do an awful thing, just because the Machinist wants to be resurrected, essentially.
As I’ve mentioned previously, I really like the characters in this series. And in this book we meet a new character, Mila, who I really loved. She was so sweet and innocent and I loved her relationship with Emily. And don’t get me started on where this girl even came from, because that was very interesting. I’m not gonna go into it cause spoilers, but it was something that I was not expecting and it was kinda weird. I’ll just say that. Lol.
Another relationship I really liked was the one between Finley and Griffin, of course. They just had all these sweet moments I really loved. And I am SO glad that the love triangle is no more! That was the worst! I just don’t see what they see in Jack Dandy! I don’t get it! And even though Finley is with Griffin now, she considers Jack a close friend and I’m not sure why. And she says that even though she might not love him, she still likes his attention? GIRL NO. Just stop. I seriously do not get what's so attractive about this guy! Anyway, I just don’t like him 🤷♀️
But overall, I liked the book and the lack of love triangle 😁 I feel like it went by really fast because the pacing was just great. It went from one thing to another, it had great action, and it was just an intriguing story. Not to mention that I really liked the romance. Plus, we learn some really interesting things about Emily’s past that really made me feel her, but it makes you understand why she is the way she is. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to seeing how all this is gonna end.
