Corpse & Crown
Corpse & Crown | Alisa Kwitney
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Agatha DeLacey’s family isn’t rich or titled, so studying nursing at Ingold’s East End hospital in London is a rare opportunity for her. Despite the school’s focus on the innovative Bio-Mechanical program, Aggie cares more about the desperately poor human patients who flood the hospital, even if that means providing unauthorized treatment after-hours…and trusting a charming, endlessly resourceful thief. But the Artful Dodger is barely a step ahead of his underworld rivals, the menacing Bill Sykes and mercurial Oliver Twist, and Aggie’s association with him soon leads her into danger. When a brutal attack leaves her blind, she and the Dodger find themselves at the mercy of an experimental Bio-Mech surgery. Though the procedure restores Aggie’s sight, her new eyes come at an unnerving cost, and the changes in Dodger are even more alarming—instead of seeing Aggie as the girl he fancies, he now views her as a potential threat. As war between England and Germany brews on the horizon and a sinister medical conspiracy threatens to shatter the uneasy peace in Europe, Aggie and the Dodger must find a way to work together so they can protect their friends and expose the truth…even if it means risking their own survival.

This is the companion novel to Cadaver & Queen. While it's a smooth adventure, it fails to live up to its predecessor's passion, & it lacked substance in comparison. The plot could have been stronger but it's an easy read with fun characters, a well developed atmosphere and laughs along the way. I like the writing style and pace a lot. I will be on the look out for other books by this author.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy.

I did feel at times like I should have started on book one with the small details that were included about people and places that I didn‘t have much information on. I liked reading the blend of familiar and new characters – featuring a grown Oliver Twist, the Artful Dodger, and Victor Frankenstein. I didn‘t like how the Bio-Mechs were looked down on so harshly or how the doctors stopped trying to save lives to advance the Bio-Mech program.
