This one is just fantastic fun. Set in an alternate history's future, one in which decidedly non-sparkly vampires are real and have risen up and destroyed human civilization throughout the temperate zone and colder climates just ahead of the industrial revolution, and humans have retreated to the eq...

I have a new favorite vampire and his name is Gareth. Couldn't put this down today, what a story! Review to come. Steampunk take two and this one was an absolute gem. Princess Adele, heir to the Equatoria throne, is on a routine diplomatic tour when her airship convoy is attacked by a strike team ...

Agh, so many mixed feelings!On the one hand, the writing can best be described as sloppy. The characters were trite and cliched. The setting didn't seem to know whether it wanted to be contemporary or pseudo-Victorian/steampunky. And yet, I kept reading, because there is something in the story that'...

Steampunk and vampires! The paranormal and the paramechanical rolled up into one fun story! The vampires in this story are not the secretly sweet and sympathetic kind we often see in stories. These vamps are vicious and have a vision of the world unlike humans. The humans, on the other hand, share h...

Everyone should read this book. I just loved it. It has everything you need Vampires, sword fighting, Castles, romance, action, Mystery. It is just amazing. I was sad that it ended. I loved that it is set in London and Edinburgh. You have great locations such as Edinburgh Castle, Tower of London and...

3,5 stars, actually.Real good world of vampires, dark and savages, and hungry. Their are not 'the living dead' but parasites ... Though their origin as a race was never explained. Hope we have it in the next book.Adele anoys me every time she 'talks', very 19's century speech type heroine. Greyfriar...

My thoughts:This book was great! I wished I could have read it all at once instead of bits and pieces here and there. Because it just sucked me in at once, and a few chapters in I already knew I wanted to read book 2.The book is about Princess Adele of Equatoria. She is touring her Empire and its fr...
