The Year is 2012 - and Queen Victoria still rules with an immortal fist. She's the undead matriarch of a Britain where the Aristocracy is made up of werewolves and vampires, where goblins live underground and mothers know better than to let their children out after dark. A world where technology lives side by side with magic, where being nobility means being infected with the Plague (side-effects include undeath) and Hysteria is the popular affliction of the day. Xandra Vardan is a member of the elite Royal Guard, and it's her duty to protect the Aristocracy. But things get complicated when her sister goes missing. Xandra will not only realise she's the prize in a dangerous power struggle - but she'll also uncover a conspiracy that threatens to topple the empire itself.

In a London where Aristocrats have turned into vampires and werewolves, lording a whole new power over the regular folks, and as happens in this case, a new class is created - half-aristocrat children with extra strength and abilities without being fully vampires or werewolves. And in that tense wor...
I've been thinking about mood and reading recently, although maybe that's the wrong way to put it. My Summer of Steampunk has morphed into Steampunk Planet (which I now think I'm ready to get off, thank you), and I'm still churning through the lower midlist of steampunk titles available at my librar...
This book really blew me away and I can't honestly say that I didn't expect that. I thought it was just gonna be a normal read, but it was so much more. It had everything I love in a book. I loved Xandra and Vex - and the goblin prince. I thought the plot and premise was very nice and though it was ...
