About this listen
In a world fueled by greed and corruption, where airships rule the skies and coal mines have been turned into prisons, Scarlett Moon has one goal: survive. Being tough and looking out for herself is the only way to stay alive, but when her best friend, Rory, is arrested and returned to the mines, all of Scarlett's carefully built walls threaten to crumble.
After being rescued by an airship full of pirates, led by the sexy and irresistible Asher Kimura, Scarlett finds herself surrounded by cons and fugitives, and thrust into the middle of a coal-smuggling business. When they take her to Columbus, the one place she never wanted to set foot in again, she wants nothing more than to get away. And her discomfort only grows as she becomes increasingly drawn to Asher.
But everything changes when she discovers there may be a way to rescue Rory. Enlisting the pirates' help, Scarlett sets out on a mission to save her friend, praying that her overwhelming attraction to Asher doesn't mean the end to her freedom - in more ways than one.

Our Steampunk fugitive Scarlett Moon is on the run from the corrupt law officials who want to send her back to the coal mines. A revolution against technology by The Luddites has left the world resembling a cross between Vegas and a Charles Dickens novel. (kind of like Firefly but minus the space ships) eventually her luck runs out and she's about to get nabbed when Swashbuckling Pirates swoop down and save her orphan butt. Her friend, Rory, however hadn't been so lucky. Assuming her best friend was just being sent back where they'd escaped from, the coal mines, Scarlett had been trying to move on and focus on her own survival. When a conversation with her rescuer Asher convinces Scarlett that Rory's fate is so much darker and twisted than anything she could ever have imagined. Scarlett and her crew of renegades join up with the Pirates to attempt a rescue operation.
The overall world building didn't venture as deep as I was used to with Kate L Mary's work (Outliers, Zombies or Species Traitor) but this post-modern world civilisation was just as action packed. Scarlett is much closer to a cynical version of Vivian in her Broken World series and its easy to see how her experiences of losing her parents etc have given her into this harder shell.
It's enjoyable.
