Queen Victoria is preparing to celebrate her 175th
year of reign. Since the aristocracy
mutated during the plague to become vampires, werewolves and goblins, Britain
hasn’t been the same. The aristocracy is
protected by half-bloods (children of royal blood and humans). These half-bloods are stronger and quicker
than humans, but don’t have the immortal limitations of daylight or shape
shifting. Xandra is part of the Royal
Guard and is thrown into the unbelievable world of the insurrectionists when
she discovers that someone has staged a fake suicide for her younger
sister. She no longer knows who to
believe. Her friend and long-term
mentor, Churchill, has taught her that goblins are monsters and insurrectionists
are traitors. Yet her sister and mother are
trying to convince her that the aristocracy are performing experiments on
half-bloods and can’t be trusted.
God Save the Queen is a cross between steampunk and a
vampire tale all thrown into a modern England.
The reader will be pulled into the story and history inside while
attempting to stay one step ahead of Xandra while she is searching for the
answers. Although the sex scenes are not
very graphic, the topics and language throughout make this more appropriate for
older teens and adults. This first book
in The Immortal Empire series finishes in a great spot. The reader will want to read the second book
to discover what Xandra will do next. Goodreads Book Information
