Aether Spirit by Cecilia Dominic
Aether Spirits series #3. Historical steampunk romance. Can be read as a stand-alone however the history of the two main characters is evolving and the prior books will give you more background to where this story starts.
Claire McPhee has amnesia after a medical treatment. Trying to regain her memory causes her blinding headaches. The medical chief, Chadwick causes Claire to faint and when she recovers, it’s with a headache and a feeling that she’s missing something important. Danger threatens as the two work together with the unknown.

Alternate history with paranormal “elements” and science make this an intriguing suspense novel. It takes place during the Civil War in the United States, unlike the first two that were across the pond. This third is more romance than the prior books, but it also leaves unanswered questions about the Aether, leading directly into the next book in the series.
I enjoyed the suspense but felt bad for both Claire and Chadwick as they clearly struggled to overcome their obstacles.
I’m looking forward to continuing to the next book.… (plus d'informations)

When too many coincidences begin making more sense, Joanie must come to terms with a surprising truth… I enjoyed the more medical-based perspective on lycanthropy that showed in this book and found the premise of this series intriguing.… (plus d'informations)
