I rarely write reviews,but I made an exception for this one -- it was so spectacularly bad that I felt compelled to return to the scene of the crime (when I clicked the one click button) and warn others who may have been, as I was, taken in by the suggestion that this dreck belongs in the same category as books like "Souless" This "book" reads like it was written by a committee. I can just picture some sort of cheat-sheet checklist the author or authors used to write it: "we need a vampire, make it Victorian, add some bustles and chartreuse, dials! more dials!, throw in an "airship" and some tubes, wait, we forgot a few sex scene set pieces disconnected from the narrative!" The protagonist has an abrupt shift of character, from supernatural slightly kinky bondage loving murderous vampire rake to besotted romantic hero for no apparent reason. The female love interest is a Mary Sue of the first water. But for me, the biggest sin was the dialogue (and internal monologues). I love supernatural romance, I love historical fiction, I love steampunk, I love scifi; in short, I am always willing to suspend disbelief for a good yarn. BUT there is NO WAY I can handle Arthur Tudor (brother to Henry VIII no less), who has been a vampire for 300 years and now lives in Victorian England, saying things like "Have a seat" and "Are you okay?" and obessessing about his junk, constantly.

This urban fantasy/murder mystery/steam punk romance is told from the perspective of Arthur, the vampire and brother to Henry VIII. He meets Avalon at a gala aboard a zeppelin, and she looks very similiar to his past love Catherine. She strikes his fancy because she is so different from the other ladies. She is not interested in high society, but in the steamship itself. And she has some sort of technology contraption around her ear...what is that thing? Her honesty, integrity, strength and honor intrigue him. She's not at all like the other women he knows. Although she doesn't appear interested in him, he thinks about how he can win her over. But then a series of murders happen, of which the newspapers are screaming vampire! One of the ladies he did, in fact, kill while he was in blood lust, but the other woman he just had sex with. Someone came after him and killed her, and now he wonders is someone targeting him to set him up? He needs to investigate. And to his shock, who does he run into but Avalon! Turns out she is hot on the trail of the murderer, working undercover and helping her friend Victor who is an inventor and vampire hunter. Time to team up to catch the murderer!

I liked the way the author wove in Arthur's viewpoints of his brother Henry VIII, his lost love Catherine, and his niece Mary. The author did a great job with character development of Arthur, but I would have liked a bit more development of Avalon's character. The world building was well done and I liked how the author realistically portrayed the vampire (rather than the watered down, romanticized version that is in so many books currently). The technological gadgets used by Avalon were reminicent of James Bond--lots of fun! I enjoyed the quick moving plotline and its surprises towards the end. Be aware there are a few sex scenes in the book, just in case that's not your thing. Overall this was a good mix of mystery, suspense, adventure, horror, and romance, which I think would appeal to both urban fantasy as well as paranormal romance fans.

Boring, dull, yawn... November 1, 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I tried this book because it was recommended for Gail Carriger fans(which I am), thought the whole Tudor-vampire thing was cool(although it's been done) and like the Victorian era...and was disappointed on all three fronts. I put this book down after maybe five(short)chapters because it was boring beyond belief - lots and lots of exposition and not too much dialogue to liven it up. The first-person narrator uses modern expressions that jar with the time period, so do some of the other characters. I know it's steam-punk/alternate time-line and all that, but Arthur says it would be "a hassle" to move at one point and that's pretty much where the author lost me.
After about a month, I tried picking the story up again to see if my opinion had changed, and it hadn't. Still boring. I was skimming entire pages for general content and waiting for things to pick up.
Overall, it felt as though the narrator was trying for amusingly macabre (a la Addams Family)and it simply didn't work. I didn't like Arthur York and couldn't care less what he did or what happened to him. That, and he used way too many exclamation marks - never a good thing.
