Editorial Reviews

MAY 2020 - AudioFile

Danielle Cohen delivers a warm and engaging performance of a Victorian romance that reaches for the steampunk stars. Born into money, Diana “Diver” Smythe has a sudden change of fortune that leaves her orphaned and alone. She survives as a street thief with a talent for timing. Growing up in the shadow of the Southampton Spaceport, Diver dreams of escaping her life on the streets—a dream that becomes complicated by the interference of a handsome, young police officer and a vengeful gang leader who is out for blood. Cohen’s voice rings with personality and passion as she brings Diver to life through a solid narration that gently matches the pitch and swell of a well-told romance. This is a lovely start to a new series. E.M.U. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine

From the Publisher

“A fine and engaging rendering of Steampunk tropes…The mix of old-fashioned slum-level criminality and futuristic space technology works well, and Diana is very appealing as she takes her remarkable journey from up, to down, to up again, despite the struggles she faces staying on top. Sharp offers crisp, lucid, straightforward writing that keeps the reader turning pages.” – Publisher’s Weekly, via PW BookLife
