Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post started by Breaking the Spine, to show books that we are patiently waiting for.
Tish Everett has just left an abusive relationship to find herself and take care of her dying grandmother. When she inadvertently steals an antique locket from an estate sale, she wakes up naked in a strange land and assumes she's having the most realistic dream of her life. Instead she meets the man whose portrait haunted her from inside the locket—magician, carnival ringmaster, and blood-drinker Criminy Stain.
When the locket is stolen, Tish must choose between her supposed destiny with Criminy in the steampunk Victorian world of Sang and a normal life and family in her own world, where she's the only thing keeping her grandmother alive.

I haven't read many steampunk novels but from what little I have read this is a genre that I enjoy reading. The synopsis sounds intriguing, not really a fan of the cover.
