Immortal Empires books 1 and 2

God Save the Queen and The Queen is Dead by Kate Locke, 351 and 337 pages

Cover image for These are the first two books in Locke’s Immortal Empire series. The series takes place in a semi modern day London with some key differences. The first being that Queen Victoria is a vampire with vampires as the ruling class. And secondly that there are werewolves and goblins.

Cover image for The story follows a woman named Xandra a member of the Royal Guard and sworn to protect the nobility. But when her sister disappears everything starts to come apart. What follows is a journey that forces her to reexamine her deepest principles and beliefs. There is also a supernatural love story.

 Despite this series being somewhat corny and at times predictable I still found myself enjoying it. With multiple layers of story intertwining together in explosive ways(literally in some cases) the story was never dull and seemed to end faster that I would expect for 300+ page novel. I think people that enjoy supernatural romance novels would also enjoy this series, even with the romance taking the back seat.
