God Save the Queen
God Save the Queen | Kate Locke
19 posts | 16 read | 25 to read
The first in an alternate fantasy series where vampires, werewolves, and goblins rule London. Queen Victoria rules with an immortal fist. The undead matriarch presides over 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. It's a world where the nobility are infected with the Plague (side-effects include undeath), Hysteria is the popular affliction of the day, and leeches are considered a delicacy. And a world where technology lives side by side with magic. The year is 2012 and Pax Britannia still reigns. Xandra Vardan is a member of the elite Royal Guard, and it is her duty to protect the Aristocracy. But when her sister goes missing, Xandra will set out on a path that undermines everything she believed in and uncover a conspiracy that threatens to topple the empire. And she is the key -- the prize -- in a very dangerous struggle. The fantastic start to The Immortal Empire series that continues with the spectacular undead books, The Queen is Dead and Long Live the Queen.

Little book haul from Costco and the Goodwill.
I keep hearing great things about Frozen River. I liked this cover of Pillars maybe someday now I will read it.
I didn't realize Heyer had a mystery series, I know she was a terrible person but I do like her writing.

Has anyone read this God Save The Queen? Looks like a fun zombie series and the cover really drew me in I haven't heard anything about it before

DogMomIrene Pillars is sooooo good! Like reread good. 1mo

I read and enjoyed this a decade ago but never got to the rest of the series. In the mood for something fun and playful... this series is described by one reviewer as "a hilarious OTT steampunk vampire mash-up".

This book has been on my to read list for a while now and it definitely didn‘t disappoint. The concept of an alternate world filled with vampires, werewolves, and goblins was quite fun. The author did a great job of combining modernity with a centuries old Victorian reign. Will definitely be picking up the other two books on my next shopping trip.

The Anglophile in me finds this amusing.

And now, I‘m going to go finish my work so I can finally watch Hamilton. And maybe 1776, too, before my annual viewing of Independence Day.

Full review on goodreads, link in my bio. This book was a surprise like for me. I went into it expecting lots of cheese and eye rolling but it turned out to just be straight up fun. The romantic angle didn‘t venture into gratuitous erotica or eye-rolling-inducing romance novel territory and the actual plot was good and kept me glued to the page. And I have a solid appreciation for characters who don‘t shy away from doing what needs to be done.

Found this at the library today. High likelihood that it will be cheesy, but it did sound a bit interesting so I‘m gonna give it a go before The Fifth Season comes in.

I got some holds in from the library. I'm starting with this one while babe naps. This book sounds right in my wheelhouse: Queen Victoria and supernatural?! I'm all in! I'll take a picture of the other 2 when I get a chance. I'm very excited to get to all of them. #LoveMyLibrary

BethM This looks fun! 6y

Forgot to take a photo. This might be best described as an urban fantasy steampunk w/o the grit (maybe?). It's modern day vs. Victorian. And basically in the UK the bubonic plague didn't just kill folks, it actually mutated genes giving the world vampires, werewolves, and goblins, alongside humans; all depending upon which genetics you're born with. Throw in a little "chosen one" element and a handsome hunk, and there you have it. Fun read!

Crystalblu Is it more YA or adult? 7y
ralexist @Crystalblu - Good question! I would put it in the Adult category but more on the New Adult side. There are some sexy times betwixt the pages. 7y
Crystalblu Alright! I‘ll check it out. Thank you! 7y
KarmonR Such a fun read. 7y

Fucking loved it. I wish this world existed because it‘s a mix of everything I love. A great, fast paced supernatural/paranormal alternate history novel full of vampires, werewolves, and goblins.

From the author's note at the beginning: "Everyone's looking for a better tomorrow, and just trying to make the best of what they have."

I didn't think this would be my cup of tea; hadn't really read any steampunk inspired fiction and have had my fill of vampire/werewolf/paranormal stories……but then I Couldn't Put It Down. Looking forward to the next installment

Just started God Save the Queen. I was a little concerned from the description that it would be a Gail Carriger knockoff. Definitely not! Very interesting world building.
