I love this series and the covers!Fanule is a branded mongrel, and the elected official of Taintwell. He is finding more and more mongrels are being arrested or disappearing, also his madness is getting worse.Will is a hawker at the Mechanical Circus selling elixir, until he finds its mongrel blood used to make it. He meets Fanule by happenstance and they immediately become fond of each other but developing feelings could be dangerous to both of them, since Fan has a bounty on his head.Simon is a bounty Hunter, but has a conscience. He had been seeing Will only for physical pleasure, then meets Clancy Marrowbone the vampire at Will's one night. He likes Clancy's company and joins Clancy and Fan to help find out what is going on with the missing mongrelsThis is a fabulous story set in an intriguing steampunk setting, with lots of steam, mechanisms, an old fashioned backdrop, with different unique types of part human creatures and vampires. The story is intriguing, fast paced, sensual and mysterious. There are twists and turns around every corner.I read the second book first and had to read this one. I love all the characters but especially Fanule. He is dark, sexy mysterious, dangerous, but also caring and devoted. My kind of man. My only issue is the relationships are skirted around too much, id have liked more detail especially on how Clancy and Simon ended up together.I will say the names and cities are a bit cheesy but add to the unique style of this story. I love it!I highly recommend this if you like steampunk, old fashioned settings, vampires, mongrels, and sensuous love stories.
