Katherine Tulman's life is decidedly difficult and growing
more so by the day. She must take care of her brilliant and
fragile Uncle Tully and protect him and his dangerous
designs from those who would use him. When men attack their
home to kidnap Tully, Katherine knows they are no longer
safe in England. Fleeing to Paris, Katherine is determined
to keep Uncle Tully out of enemy hands, even if those hands
are from her own country, but her real reason for choosing
Paris is not so secret. She cannot believe Lane Moreau, her
love, is dead despite multiple accounts of his death.
Katherine won't stop until she has the right answers. When
her search for Lane leads her straight into the sights of
the Emperor Napoleon, Katherine knows she must do anything
to keep Uncle Tully hidden from the world.
A SPARK UNSEEN by Sharon Cameron is the second novel
featuring Katherine Tulman and her extraordinary family.
Wonderfully gothic with a touch of steampunk, A SPARK UNSEEN
captures the moody terror of a young woman's life as it
disintegrates around her. Even with these broody elements,
Katherine maintains a delightful sense of humor and hope. It
is the complexity of relationships that provide the
emotional backbone of A SPARK UNSEEN. Katherine's care for
her Uncle Tully is heartbreakingly sweet. For anyone who's
devoted their life to caring for another person with unique
needs, Katherine and Tully's relationship touches that
special bond. I applaud author Sharon Cameron for capturing
that love inside a beautiful character who never once
regrets her decision to be what her Uncle Tully needs.
A SPARK UNSEEN is a gothic, steampunk romance, but I'd have
to say that the romance elements take second place to the
adventure and mystery surrounding Lane's disappearance.
Katherine is assured of her own love for Lane at the start
of the novel which definitely moves the plot into solving a
mystery rather than the unique journey of falling in love.
The love provides the motivation while the mystery provides
a fast-paced plot that twists around shadowy figures
revolving in and out of Katherine's life.
Sharon Cameron is a talented writer who knows how to engage
her reader from the start and keep them wrapped inside her
words until the very last. A SPARK UNSEEN blends elements of
gothic, steampunk, romance, and mystery to create a truly
unique world that will be sure to delight readers.
When Katharine Tulman foils an attempt to kidnap her Uncle
Tully, she finds herself caught up in international
intrigue. Aware that there are people who want to turn her
uncle's mechanical fish into an explosive device, and
unsure of who to trust, she decides to fake her uncle's
death and flee to Paris in search of Lane Moreau, her
uncle's assistant.
