Best reads of August 2014

Most of my month was spent on the Zeva Project, so aside from books about dogs, I only read nine books this month.  These were my favorites:

 

 

 

Elizabeth Watasin's Risen from The Dark Victorian series.  Artifice is an executed criminal, resurrected by the Secret Commission in order for her to serve her country on The Secret Commission.  She's mentored by animated skull, Jim Dastard.  Art's memories have been wiped and she knows nothing of her old life.  But she was a Quaker; what was her crime?  We don't know and neither does she. The first book in the series, it lays the groundwork for whatever is coming next.
