Book review- 5 stars It seems that the Vardan siblings can't stay out of trouble. Book one , Xandra was running to help Dede. Now it is Val. Not to mention the political mess she is in, coming to terms with her new identity, new relationship, PLUS she's the main suspect in a murder investigation. Xandra has a lot on her plate and she needs to get her shit together ASAP. Luckily she has people in her life who remind her that 1. Not everything is about you and 2. It's time to shit or get off the pot. . . The books isn't without flaws(What book is though). It gets a bit repetitive and thus, Xandra gets a bit too whiny. But I don't care. I repeat I DON'T CARE. I love this world, the characters, the storyline and I want to be in it forever. . . Side note: Vex is still perfect. Good day. #TheQueenIsDead #TheImmortalEmpire #KateLocke @alterkates https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwlTC-g1fH/?igshid=1sboqaguuc3jd

Book review - 5 stars For me, the biggest honor I can give a book is giving it a place on my shelves. Not to knock ebooks..I have plenty of those and love being to take all the books with me when I head out. After having this series in its ebook counterpart, I'm so happy to finally have a hard copy. Why? Because I absolutely love this series/world. I love the steampunk elements. That's a genre I don't get enough of even though I do love it. . . Xandra Varda is a member of the Royal Guard in a world full of humans, vampires, werewolves and goblins. Up until this point in her life everything was great. Not perfect..but great. Then something happens to her sister and everything goes tits up. She's about to find out what truths are lies. Even the ones about her. I like Xandra. I find her quite kick ass. (She fights in a corset!. It IS Victorian London after all). She had a touch for the melodramatic at times...which is a plus for me. "What have you brought us?" "Meat." (Do let me know when you get to that part because I fooking LOVE it.) . . I can't leave without talking about Vexation McLaughlin. Alpha werewolf extraordinaire. Does he have a big role in the book? No...but the book isn't about him. He can stand next to me and do nothing all bloody day. Is he delicious nonetheless? Yes ma'am. Is that all it takes for me? Apparently. #GodSaveTheQueen #TheImmortalEmpire #KateLocke @alterkates @orbitbooks_us https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwU6yvA5Kv/?igshid=1ftydi5c1tbc7

Today's September 28th task for #jcfseptember is to share a #Crown. Pictured with the usual book I post when given "crown" as a prompt I have the Immortal Empire trilogy by Kate Locke. 😍❤😍 . . . . God Save the Queen, The Queen Is Dead, and Long Live the Queen all have skulls wearing crowns on their covers. 😍❤😍 . . . . And my go-to book for "crown" prompts is The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. 😍❤😍 . . . . I'm sorry that ONLY the crown is visible on the cover of The Cruel Prince. The books were between Max's legs, where room was limited, and if I had moved the book so you could see it, Max would have escaped. 😊😉🤣😍❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #KateLocke #HollyBlack #books #GodSavetheQueen #TheQueenIsDead #LongLivetheQueen #TheCruelPrince #series #ImmortalEmpireTrilogy #TheFolkoftheAir https://www.instagram.com/p/BoSEFXcn1QZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12ndzi9hm1d7u

Happy Friday, Booksta-fam! Let's talk about chance meetings. With books, that is. You know how it is. You're perusing a bookstore and you come across an interesting looking cover. "Oh hello? What are you? Never heard of you before, but I'm LOVING your cover design, darling. Absolutely fabulous. Let's have a look at the back blurb. Victorian England, undead queen Victoria, steampunk adven--oopsie! You seem to have jumped into my basket. Looks like I'm gonna need the whole series." And that is pretty much how this went down 😏. QOTD: Tell me about your last bookish chance meeting. Feel free to include all the cutsie details. . 🏷️ I think this fits #BooksAndBones from @jamesfahyauthor , don't you? . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans @alterkates #godsavethequeen #thequeenisdead #longlivethequeen #steampunkbook #katelocke #coverbuy #coverbuybooks

Here they are! The middle stack, including the box set, are what was in that big box from earlier. The stack on the left (six books) arrived Tuesday the 9th. The stack on the right (four books) also arrived today. 😄 . . . But wait! You can't really see the stack on the left because my baby boy is very sleepy and settled down on it! 😲😨 But never fear! No books or dogs were harmed in the making of these photos. 😉 . . . If you scroll to see the second picture, you'll see the three stacks that arrived for this one order of 25 books! 😲😄❤ . . . And in the third picture, I have all the books together by series! 😍❤ . . . From the top left: 📚 The #CalLeandrosSeries (all 10 books!) by #RobThurman! 📚 The #ImmortalEmpireTrilogy by #KateLocke 📚 The #Mistborn First Era Trilogy by @brandsanderson 📚 Blood Vow, book two in the #BlackDaggerLegacy series by @jrwardauthor 📚 Blade Bound, book 13 in the #ChicagolandVampires series by @chloeneill 📚 Books three and four in the #LightbringerSeries by @androssguile (Brent Weeks) 📚 The Wicked + The Divine series - #WicDiv (all five volumes!) - by @kierongillen and @mckelvie And then I threw in a fourth photo of my Max, who temporarily woke up, stood up, and then moved to settle down right next to/against me. 😍❤ . . . Incidentally, the three series in this #BookHaul that do not begin with Book One are completing already begun series collections for me. 😊 And also, I was ecstatically happy to see that my #MistbornTrilogy #boxset is MASS MARKET PAPERBACKS! 😄 I thought they were trades, and when I saw they were actually MMPs... Well, just ask my Mom: I was beyond happy! 😀😄😍❤ . . . #DogsofInstagram #SleepyDog #bookstagram #books #series
