pickThis is maybe a little bit weird. A young maid who resembles someone French and famous is brought to France for a covert operation. That sounds pretty normal. It's French Revolution with vampires.

pickIt‘s 1793 revolutionary France. The Scarlet Pimpernel with vampires? YESSS.
Eleanor is a British housemaid on a vampire baroness‘s estate. During an evening with guests she‘s told that she‘s Marie Antoinette‘s doppelgänger so off to Paris she goes for a fun romp through alternative history. There was a class system so a lot is mentioned about that societal structure.
Oh, and Eleanor is possessed by a witch. (I ♥️ the S.E. book cover)
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
pickThe French Revolution, the Scarlet Pimpernel, a British maid impersonating Marie Antoinette, and coincidentally possessed by the spirit of a witch, vampires and a lot of commentary on evil doers on both sides of the political divide. I mean, what‘s not to like?!?
Cogman has given us a historical thrill ride peopled with interesting characters. She doesn‘t strive for historical accuracy (did I mention vampires?) But it was a fun read.
pickVampires, ghosts, feminists and the French Revolution 😁 good, exciting read.
My July Goldsboro book arrived today! What a great way to start the week! 🥰📚 I really love the Invisible Library series by this author so I'm excited to see what she does with the French Revolution and vampires! 😂 #goldsborobooks #goldsboro
Also, my penchant for sprayed edges has been satisfied today by another Goldsboro GSFF pick 🥰🥰
pickHere we go - the French Revolution with vampires! It was a little slow to get going & I almost lost interest, but keeping going was rewarded with a much better second half. Eleanor was a good MC for the most part, & the evolution of her views about her place in society & the dawning of the idea that vampires (whom she had been raised to think of as essentially benevolent) could be violent killers behind closed doors was interesting to see.
