What if love turned you into a monster? Forget petticoats and demure female behavior. Melusine Dore? prefers armored corsets and knives and slays evil creatures for a living. The grim and gruesome don’t frighten her; she’ll take on a cyclops or a dragon and not even break a sweat. But when her rival, the charismatic Levi Cannon, comes to town, all her buried fears begin to surface. Melusine realizes she is in danger of something much more horrifying than facing blood-thirsty beasts – she’s in danger of falling in love. Because love alone has the power to reveal a secret terrible enough to completely shatter her world. Set in the muddy streets of 1850s steampunk Chicago, Immersed by Katie Hayoz is a dark yet romantic fantastical romp. It is a stand-alone novella, the first in a series of adventures that follow Melusine on her quest to rid the world of monsters…and her struggle to come to terms with every monstrous facet of herself.

The setting was very nicely drawn, and exposition nicely handled – just the right balance between suspense and explanation.
There were a couple of unfortunate errors (which might, I hope, have been corrected by the time of publication); Sir Edwin Aldridge is frequently referred to as "Sir Aldridge", for example. I do hope that's fixed.
There's a little bit of romance; a nice amount of humor; a heroine who has her priorities straight ("The wings paid for one month’s rent and a bag of butterscotch candy") and whose situation manages to stand out in a field of fierce and feisty underdog young ladies.
