Review: Cogling

Cogling by Jordan Elizabeth Mierek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Price Of Magic


This seems to be a stand alone book though I hope the author changes her mind and turns it into a series... Or at least writes other books in this world!


Edna has evil inside her but she does her best to not let it out. This can be very difficult especially when someone threatens anyone she cares about... Or her. Being of a lower class is not a walk in the park but at least she and her little brother Harrison have good jobs in a noble house. Dealing with the noble Rachael is difficult and she really only does it for Harrison. Too bad there is something wrong with him today. He is just not himself. What has gotten in to him? Has he developed some new rare illness? Can she figure out how to make him better? Will she lose control of her temper and the evil inside if she can't figure it out?


Ike has secrets. He is not just some ragged thief on the street. He has a vendetta against the Hags and he must get his revenge at any cost. When he sees the Cogling watch in Edna's possession he comes up with a desperate plan. He will both get the proof he needs to expose the Hags' sinister plot and help her free her brother from the Factories before he becomes just another snack. Will his plan work? Or will they fail before they even begin? Will he be able to keep Edna safe? Or will they both end up at the mercy of the Hags? Will the King believe them?


Filled with intrigue and mystery, this steampunk fairy tale is a very enjoyable read! I loved the vividness of the world and the originality of all the characters. Never have I read anything quite like this! Filled with hope and despair it takes you for a rollercoaster ride you will never forget!


***This book is suitable for young adult through adult readers who enjoy paranormal steampunk adventures set in a world vastly different from our own with plenty of mystery, intrigue, thrills, action, adventure and romance :)
