Waiting on Wednesday {6}: The Friday Society

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where we post about much-awaited releases!

Title: The Friday Society

Author: Adrienne Kress

Release Date: December 6th 2012

Publisher: Dial

An action-packed tale of gowns, guys, guns
– and the heroines who use them all.

Set in turn of the century London, The Friday Society
follows the stories of three very intelligent and talented young women,
all of whom are assistants to powerful men: Cora, lab assistant;
Michiko, Japanese fight assistant; and Nellie, magician's assistant. The
three young women's lives become inexorably intertwined after a chance
meeting at a ball that ends with the discovery of a murdered mystery
man.

It's up to these three, in their own charming but bold way,
to solve the murder – and the crimes they believe may be connected to
it – without calling too much attention to themselves.

Set in the past but with a modern irreverent flare, this Steampunk
whodunit introduces three unforgettable and very ladylike – well,
relatively ladylike – heroines poised for more dangerous adventures.

I just requested this over at NetGalley; hope I'll get approved! What can I say, I love girls who kick ass, and the cover definitely promises that ♥

I've seen this one quite a bit lately! I'm not a huge fan of the cover but the book does sound interesting. Thanks for sharing! ^.^ If you would like to check out my Waiting On Wednesday you can do so here. :)
