The Strange Case of Finley Jayne

This was a bit of a mess. It was set in Victorian England, like so many a steampunk story is, but it didn't feel like Victorian England- the characters' mannerisms, attitudes, and values made them seem like modern characters that were sort of play-acting instead of being from the actual time period.
The plot was a bit of a mess, too. Finley Jayne, the main character, is a maid who has superpowers for some reason, and she's hired to be a companion/bodyguard for this aristocratic adolescent who someone is trying to kill. If you've ever read any science fiction or adventure stories before, it quickly becomes obvious who is trying to kill her, and why; Finley stops him from killing her and then leaves the employment of the aristocratic family. She doesn't learn anything, or change in any way along the way, and then the story just kind of ends. Very unsatisfying.
