The Clockwork Scarab by Colleen Gleason
Meet Mina Holmes, niece of Sherlock Holmes, and Evalin Stoker, sister of Bram. The setting is an alternative London although the time is correct. Now add in a secret cult that is trying to awaken an Egyptian goddess and you have a face paced mystery.
Using the logical explanations of Holmes and knowledge of things best not spoken of with powers that Stoker possess makes for a fast paced steam punk type novel. The first in a series will leave you wanting more.
