Xandra Vardan thought life would be simpler when she accepted the goblin crown and became their queen, but life has only become more complicated. Everyone -- vampires, werewolves and humans -- wants the goblins on their side, because whoever has the goblins -- wins.
Queen Victoria wants her head, Alpha wolf Vex wants her heart, and she still doesn't know the identity of the person who wanted her blood. What she does know is that a project from one of the 'secret' aristocrat labs has gotten free and she's the only one who can stop the perfect killing machine -- a sixteen year-old girl. With human zealots intent on ridding the world of anyone with plagued blood and supernatural politics taking Britain to the verge of civil war, Xandra's finding out that being queen isn't all it's cracked up to be, and if she doesn't do something fast, hers will be the shortest reign in history.

My thoughts:
The end...
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I came to the end and was all "There should be more!" Seriously, there should be more, like at least one more. I know some books go on and on, but I felt like, at least one more would have been good. Sigh.
Mooooooooooore!
Xandra does her best to try to find those behind the evil labs. Humans are angrier than ever, and I loved some of the points in this one. Xandra asked when someone they loved had last been hurt, they were all silent. Damn humans, keep it down.
So that happens, drama, politics and danger.
But hey I still want more, I felt like, ok I got an ending, but then, what happened next. I felt like I wanted to stay longer in this world. I will miss this world. Sad.
Conclusion:
Recommended series.
cover
cool
Awe! I def want to read this series one day. UGH! Maybe she'll have a short story?
ReplyDeleteI can only hope
DeleteDefinitely enjoyed this series and the interesting take on the vampire/were/goblin culture.
ReplyDeleteIt was so cool!
DeleteI'd rather that an author ends a series leaving me wanting more than with me feeling like it should have concluded 3 books ago. I need more Steampunk in my life!
ReplyDeleteCarmel @ Rabid Reads
True, I just want more...one more! LOL
DeleteBut it's better that it ended a bit too soon than carrying on way too long, isn't it??
ReplyDeleteThat is true, I HATE when it continues and just starts to suck
DeleteI've had this series in my TBR like forever, I really must read them but have always been a little wary as I've never known anyone who'd read them, you've made me feel 100% better about finally reading them so thank you!
ReplyDeleteIf you have it then yes yes yes yes give it a go!
DeleteI have had this one bookmarked for almost a year. Keep thinking 'when I have time.' Someday I will have time.
ReplyDeleteAww that evil someday
DeleteAh endings like that. Both good and bad. Good wanting more... bad wanting more. :)

ReplyDeleteIt's so good, do read it
DeleteI haven't read any of the books in this series, but I love your enthusiasm for it and the fact that you didn't want it to end says a lot. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess

DeleteNooooooo! Why does it have to end?!! OH GOD WHY???...just kidding. I don't even know what this series is about. Lol. Just thought I'll support you in your time of need.
ReplyDeleteHaha ;)
DeleteIt's about vamps, weres, goblins and action
I have had this series in my TBR pile for a long time, why have I not gotten around to opening it up?! I love steampunk! And I could really go for a series that ends on s high note.
ReplyDeleteYou have it! You must read it!
DeleteI do love that it's so not steampunk, but still sort of steampunk
Nicely put!
DeleteI have seen these books around a lot, and I wish I had time to read them! I wonder if they are on audio. This sounds like my kind of series.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Hm...surely they are
DeleteI didn't know it was only a trilogy. I need to start it!
ReplyDeleteYes do!

ReplyDeleteI really fell for it
DeleteOh love that cover. Not tried her. One day maybe :)
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteWhoa, it's been a while since you recommended a book so unreservedly :) It must be good. And it's steampunk too ... so it's going on my list. Too bad you felt kind of cheated by the end. Sometimes it gets like that... Awesome review.
ReplyDeleteI know right! I have enjoyed books, but really gone gaga..not so much
DeleteSo it's only the three books? I really want to read this one.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth

DeleteI don't think I'll try these. Somehow the cover just says nope.
ReplyDeleteBut they are aaaaaaaaaaaaawesome
DeleteLOL! So glad to hear you loved these. I need to get the 2nd and 3rd books so I can get through them. I did so enjoy this world.
ReplyDeleteYes do :D
