The Electrical Menagerie is a book about two men trying to make a dream come true before getting swept into murder and intrigue. It was exciting to listen to and I found myself being swept away with the story. Mollie E. Reeder does an amazing job creating a fantastic steampunk world that Carthedge and Huxley..

So the story managed to retain much of the magic that made the first installment of the series so much fun. The characters are still rather likeable, we get a few new people that might amount to something plot wise in the future. The mystery was there for about the first quarter of the story..
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. So first, I don’t know that Historical Fiction is the right category for this. I mean you can call robots, with partial AI, in the Victorian age historical Fiction, but that’s not usually how I think of it…

I liked the feeling of the book. The characters just walked right in & made themselves at home in my world. I had read & loved Mink River so was fully prepared to love this one. Mr. Doyle is a gifted wordsmith & obviously knows a great deal about wild life. I learned something on..
Not sure at first, by the end I found myself enjoying this new look at an unusual world. The narrator does an excellent job with all the characters. Smooth and enjoyable all around.This audio was given to me free, and I voluntarily gave this review.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. I was sold by the title and cover. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy the wonder of steampunk circus? The story started with a classic “we have to save the show” storyline and I was happy enough for that..
Great second book in the series and, while not absolutely necessary, best enjoyed if you’ve read book one, as there are repeat characters. Again, this falls somewhere between fairytale, manga and romance, yet is set in “present day” as the subway is mentioned. Kimiko has been accepted in the new high school where humans, Reavers..
It didn’t take me any time at all to realize that I was Head-Over-Heels in love with this story! The characters, the electrical menagerie, the amazing imagery! Molly Reeder’s pacing and action was dead on perfect for me. I’ve always loved the circus, amusement parks, and roadside attractions in the fiction that I read, and..

Tsumiko is determined to have him freed and has help from Michael and his wife, housemates at Stately Manor. Lovely and fun, and with..

This was the second time I have made the journey through the Celestial Isles, and hearing it made the trip such a magical experience. Travis Baldree did a wonderful job voicing all of Mollie’s characters. I cannot wait for the next installment of the series!
