These Ruthless Deeds by Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas is a book that I am eagerly awaiting. I absolutely loved the first book in the series, These Viscous Masks, and it was such an amazing and surprising read! It was full of magic, fantasy, and is set in Victorian London. The main character is so sarcastic and witty, which makes this book quite fun and interesting to read. I can’t wait to find out where the story goes next!

England, 1883. Still recovering from a devastating loss, Evelyn is determined to use her powers to save other gifted people from those who would harm them. But when her rescue of a young telekinetic girl goes terribly wrong, Evelyn finds herself indebted to a secret society devoted to recruiting and protecting people like Evelyn and her friends.
As she follows the Society’s orders, healing the sick and embarking on perilous recruitment missions, Evelyn sees her problems disappear. Her reputation is repaired, her friends are provided for, and her parents are newly wealthy. She reunites with the dashing Mr. Kent and recovers the reclusive Mr. Braddock (who has much less to brood over now that the Society can help him to control his dangerous power). But Evelyn can’t help fearing the Society is more sinister than it appears...

And then I noticed the small cake that still sat uneaten next to him. And another in front of his mother. That was the last straw. I fully disliked them. How dare they leave perfectly good cake untouched?

It was hit and miss for some people. It isn’t one of my typical reads, but I just really enjoyed the main character so much. I hope that you enjoy the second book. 🙂

I have the first book, but I still haven’t read it yet. It sounds like a book that I would very much enjoy, I just haven’t sat down to read it yet. Now that this one is heading our way, it might be time to do just that.
Sounds like a delightful read.
