Grey Haward has always detested the Chemists, the magicians-come-scientists who rule her western town. But she has always followed the rules, taking the potion the Chemists ration out that helps the town's people survive. A potion that Grey suspects she--like her grandfather and father--may not actually need.
By working at her grandfather's repair shop, sorting the small gears and dusting the curio cabinet inside, Grey has tried to stay unnoticed--or as unnoticed as a tall, strong girl can in a town of diminutive, underdeveloped citizens. Then her best friend, Whit, is caught by the Chemists' enforcers after trying to protect Grey one night, and after seeing the extent of his punishment, suddenly taking risks seems the only decision she can make.
But with the risk comes the reality that the Chemists know her family's secret, and the Chemists soon decide to use her for their own purposes. Panicked, Grey retreats to the only safe place she knows--her grandfather's shop. There, however, a larger secret confronts her when her touch unlocks the old curio cabinet in the corner and reveals a world where porcelain and clockwork people are real. There, she could find the key that may save Whit's life and also end the Chemists' dark rule forever. Read Online Book Curio by Evangeline Denmark Full Free
Review :
"A wonderfully appealing writing voice and engaging characters immediately draw readers into this dystopian story. The imaginative worldbuilding (not one but two!) and swoon-worthy romances complete the attraction, making this novel difficult to put down until the very last word has been savored." - RT Book Reviews, Top Pick February 2016
From The Back Cover :
Caught off guard, Grey stumbled against the cabinet. Haimon pressed the heel of her hand onto the keyhole of the curio case. "Blood is the way in and the key to get out. Fist, hand, and cup. Remember."
"What?" The cool metal grew warm and slick, and a tug registered deep in her hand as if the lock sucked on her skin.
She struggled to focus on Haimon's face. What had he said to her? A door swished open somewhere nearby and yet far away. His face whipped away from hers, blurring into the shadows of the shop.
The pull of the curio case traveled up her arm. Haimon drew near, his expression distorted as though she looked at him through a peephole. His beady eyes jumped into hers. "Find him and bring him back."
