YAStoker & Holmes series.The Clockwork Scarab protagonists Mina Holmes (niece of Sherlock) and Evaline Stoker (Bram's kid sister and novice vampire hunter) investigate whether Willa Ashton--who believes she can communicate with her dead mother--has gone mad, or if someone is trying to drive her there. There's lots of fun to be had from this odd-couple investigative team's snarky banter and the well-imagined setting's steampunk details.
