Something Strange and Deadly and Darkness Strange and Lovely are the first two books in the Something Strange and Deadly series. That something that is strange and deadly is zombies. Lots and lots of zombies being brought back from the dead by a crazed necromancer. While the zombie attacks are somewhat off putting they are not quite worth noticing to Eleanor Fitt. She has much more pressing concerns like meeting her brother at the train station and trying to stop her mother from matching her up with every available rich young man she meets. Or at least those were her concerns until a zombie delivered a message from her brother. After that her world changes. The zombies seem more important as they seem to be connected to her brother, and there seems to be a man more and more in the picture. Of course this thrills her mother but she is not sure his motives are pure, or if he is also looking for her brother. Despite how slow this series builds it ends each book with a thrill. Quite by accident I seem to be stuck in these Victorian era steampunk books. Not that I mind but it was not a genre I pictured myself reading. I quite look forward to reading the final book and seeing how Dennard wraps this up.
