This adorable ditty is a cross between PNR and historical fiction - vamps in a sleepy English town during WWII.
While the sounds of battle echo through the sky, a lady doctor has more than enough trouble to keep her busy even in a sleepy hamlet outside London. But the threat is nearer home than Alice knows. German agents have infiltrated her beloved countryside - Nazis who can fly, read minds, and live forever.
They're not just fascists. They're vampires.
Alice has no time for fantasy, but when the corpses start appearing sucked dry, she'll have to accept help where she can get it. If that includes a lowly Conscientious Objector who says he's no coward though he refuses to fight, and her very own grandmother, a sane, sensible woman who insists that she's a Devonshire Pixie, so be it. Indeed, whatever it takes to defend home and country from an evil both ancient and terrifyingly modern...
The Laurentine Spy by Emily Gee
I have read quite a few amazing reviews for this book - apparently it is everything a fantasy book should be! Romance, intrigue, attempted murder - oh my!
Following on from the success of Emily's award nominated first novel, comes The Laurentine Spy. Two spies must work together to avoid being caught at whatever cost.
The Corhonase citadel is a place of virtue and debauchery. But nothing is as it seems, whether in the ballrooms and salons of the nobles’ Court or the catacombs beneath the citadel.
Saliel has many secrets; her spying is one, but her most guarded mystery is her magic. She walks a narrow path between discovery as a spy and being burned as a witch. With a sadistic Spycatcher closing in, Saliel and her fellow spies are tested to the limits of their endurance—they must trust each other, or die. Magic may be their only hope of survival...
woo-hoo!bloody good sound freakin-licious!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Bloody Good. I haven't read that particular Emily Gee book but I have read another by her and enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Emily Gee, but I will have to check her out. I've seen Bloody Good, but it really doesn't interest me. (I feel evil, but it's the cover.)
ReplyDelete@WonderBunny - Glad to here you enjoyed one of her books. I am actually seriously considering getting it...!
ReplyDelete@Shera - LOL. I also tend to be put off my a bad cover. It's the first impression that always sticks with you - and not always in a good way!
Blood Good sounds good. I saw your wishlist link over at Book Chick City.
ReplyDeleteWow, these both look good and I added them both to my own wishlist!
ReplyDeleteBloody Good sounds awesome! I've added it to my wishlist too :)
ReplyDeleteI have picked up that Bloody Good book so many times and never bought it. I am not sure why. Isn't that strange? Never heard of the other one, but it looks interesting and the cover is very nice. Here's mine.
