Lady Mechanika: La Dama de la Muerte #2

La Dama de la Muerte #2

by Joe Benítez

Lady Mechanika goes on the hunt for the mysterious Jinetes del Infierno, determined to end their reign of terror. But how can one mortal woman, even with her mechanical enhancements, hope to overcome the Riders from Hell? The tabloids dubbed her “Lady Mechanika,” the sole survivor of a mad scientist’s horrific experiments which left her with mechanical limbs. Having no memory of her captivity or her former life, Lady Mechanika eventually built a new life for herself as an adventurer and private investigator, using her unique abilities to solve cases the proper authorities couldn’t or wouldn’t handle. But she never stopped searching for the answers to her own past. Set in a fictionalized steampunk Victorian England, a time when magic and superstition clashed with new scientific discoveries and inventions, Lady Mechanika chronicles a young woman’s obsessive search for her identity as she investigates other mysteries involving science and the supernatural.

Great Steampunk series.

I haven't read the rest of the series, but these galleys were beautiful and they make me want to read them! Her story is so deeply personal even if she may be withdrawn. This feels like a beautifully illustrated and touching series... I can't wait to go back and read all of them.
