About this audiobook
Charlotte leads her group of exiles west, plunging into a wild world of shady merchants and surly rivermen on the way to New Orleans. But as Charlotte learns more about the revolution she has championed, she wonders if she's on the right side after all.
Charlotte and her friends get to know the mystical New Orleans bayou, and deep into the shadowy tunnels below the city - the den of criminals, assassins and pirates - Charlotte must decide if the revolution's goals justify their means, or if some things, like the lives of her friends, are too sacred to sacrifice.
Book 2 in The Inventor's Secret.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the second book in a trilogy and sees Charlotte, with her friends, fleeing the destruction of their hideout and heading across the country to New Orleans to join with the Resistance. Along with her other friends is Grave who is an unusual character who was made from the body of a mad inventor's dead son. Grave now has powers and skills that make him very valuable to whatever side in the revolution manages to take control of him. He has also excited various religious orders who seem to feel that he is an abomination to be destroyed.Charlotte is determined to protect her friend Grave and not let anyone - no matter what side they are on - use him as if he were not human. Charlotte and her group are aided by Linnet and Lord Ott who also have their own agendas. She also reunites with Meg who was her brother's girlfriend and who has been hiding major fighting skills.New Orleans is a fascinating city where all the inhabitants and visitors are required to wear masks. It is also guarded by a massive and very steampunk sea wall. But, best of all, there are pirates. I can't wait for the third book to read more of Charlotte's adventures as she protects Grave and likely has to deal with her two suitors again.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5So this book picks up right where the last one left off. This is good, because it also is filling in some details I'd forgotten, however, it still suffers from middle book syndrome. The story line advances slowly, and you wonder why you didn't just jump to the third act already.I've always liked that the main character of this series is a plucky 16 year old girl who belies the times. She's a scout and a fighter, instead of a cook or some other role as would be suggested in the time period this happens. That said, I dislike that the author seems to think the girl would be so easily distracted by Coe and Jack. If she's a strong woman, they'd be afterthoughts. The sense of her uncertainty when leading is well done with this book. Charlotte does offer the sense that she'd rather be a second than a first, but has the chops to be a first.GAH! The love triangle is back. I thought this dealt with. Dang it all to hades.And ... we end on a cliff hanger.Good enough book I want to read the last one, but so a second book in a trilogy,,,
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Maybe my rating is more 3.5/5. Not a whole lot happened in terms of the plot; we got some inklings of what's to come but nothing is really elbourated on. I liked the shift away from the romance with the more adventure vibe of the story. Definitely entertaining!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The adventure continued in the second installment of this steampunk alternate-history of the Revolutionary War. But, alas, so did the love triangle. Plus, there was a nagging feeling that I wanted to know more about the side characters than I did the main one. I'm not yet sure if I will be reading the final installment — I want to know how all the action ends, but...if the heroine actually ENDS UP with one of the two asses pursuing her...
