YASecret Order series.
Orphaned and destitute, Meg becomes a live-in maid for a mysteriously absent master. After discovering a secret chamber, Meg sets out to infiltrate an enigmatic society of mechanists and avenge her parents' death. This adventure is fast-paced with notably gentle steampunk elements, but fragile Meg is too fixated on the brooding stable boy to stand out as a noteworthy heroine.
