THE JOB
It was supposed to be simple.
Help Marshal Sebastian Hardin escort his prisoner one stop on the railway to Charter Oak.
Just one stop.
But when that prisoner is a savant who talks to ghosts, even the simplest plans have a way of falling apart.
THE LAW
Sheriff’s Deputy Ruth Cortez always does the right thing. Lucky Boy is a company town, dependent on the rich and powerful Carnarvon family. Besides which, the charismatic Sebastian Hardin isn’t an easy man to say no to. When his transport derails in the middle of the prairie, Ruth begins a relentless manhunt that leads straight into the dark heart of the Carnarvon empire.
THE FUGITIVE
Lee Merriweather favors sharp suits and fast trains – especially when he’s stealing them. At the ripe old age of 18, he’s managed to become the most wanted criminal in three territories. Lee can’t resist playing cat and mouse with a small-town deputy, but what starts as a game becomes deadly serious.
THE FIXER
Sebastian Hardin is the Carnarvons’ right hand, loyal to the death and willing to keep any secret to protect the family. They want Lee alive, but with the young savant’s disturbing abilities it won’t be an easy proposition. Whoever catches Lee gets the keys to the kingdom and the Carnarvons aren’t the only ones hunting him down. Sebastian has enough problems without falling for Deputy Cortez – but you can’t always choose who you love.
THE PHANTOMS
They terrorized the settlers until Calindra Carnarvon learned to speak their language. Her empire relies on controlling their telekinetic powers, but Lee Merriweather could destroy it all. And not even Lee suspects the shocking truth of the phantoms’ real nature.

This book was received from the Author, and Publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
A Feast of Phantoms is the first book in the Lingua Magika series, This fast paced reimaged Old West styled Steampunk. Kat Ross, and a Feast of Phantoms, doesn’t disappoint.
Ruth Cortez is young determined southern drawl lady, she also has a phantom in her gun. A loyal small town deputy, that does things by the book, when duty call her elsewhere, she leaves her comfort and strikes out to hunt down villains convict.
She is taken by surprise when the the man and his crimes she seeks is not what they seem to be. Ross is an auto by for me and, I am a HUGE fan of Kat Ross’s Gaslamp Gothic books,
With an amazing cast of characters and notable sub characters that keep you interested and hanging on all the way to the very end. If you are like me, and Independent strong willed woman. Along with love complex genres that are unique, than you are going to love A Feast of Phantoms.
A complex, engrossing, fast-paced, held my attention and extremely entertaining read!
