Belimai Sykes is many things: a Prodigal, the descendant of ancient demons, a creature of dark temptations and rare powers. He is also a man with a brutal past and a dangerous addiction. And Belimai Sykes is the only man Captain William Harper can turn to when faced with a series of grisly murders. But Mr. Sykes does not work for free and the price of Belimai's company will cost Captain Harper far more than his reputation. From the ornate mansions of noblemen, where vivisection and sorcery are hidden beneath a veneer of gold, to the steaming slums of Hells Below, Captain Harper must fight for justice and for his life. His enemies are many and his only ally is a devil he knows too well. Such are the dangers of dealing with the wicked.

That was fantastic. Maybe I'll be able to write a coherent review of it the next time I read it.
This an odd book and I kept going back and forth on what I should rate it. Finally I settled on four stars because I did really like the book - even if it felt like I was telling myself that I shouldn't. I mean, if I actually knew what the story was about before I read it, I probably never would have bought it. But I saw Ginn Hale and Steampunk and I was sold. But, really, there's a lot of stuff that I usually wouldn't like in my books: one of the main characters is a drug addict, the writing style is excessive at time, and it's just a little more gritty than I'd usually go for.
Also, the only real issue I had was the fact that this is actually two connected novellas. And, the switch was probably the only time that this story dragged for me.
