Steampunk Romance
not your typical heroine, Aline, is clever witty and so relatable. She doesn’t need nor want the oh so dashing Russian prince Sasha Romanov coming to her rescue every time something goes wrong. A little something for everyone, with historical character, steamy romance, vampires and automaton puppies. I read all of the Elders and Welders Chronicles and Margaret leaves you craving more. Fingers crossed there is more to come.
  
The fourth of Michael Arnold's Civil War Chronicles, this (I have to say) I actually found to be heavier going than any of the previous. The bulk of this novel concerns the Royalist siege of Gloucester - which, in hindsight, would prove to be the turning point of the war - during which (as any fictional hero would) Captain Stryker finds himself on both sides of the line - echoes, here, of Sharpe's Tiger!

"I had heard about this book for many years before I read it. Ostensibly it is the autobiography of a former alcoholic who chronicles his struggles living rough on the streets of London in a vivid and unique style, but it is more than that. It is the story of determination and rebirth, the tale of a chess champion who overcomes a savage childhood to live again. A powerful book indeed."

The chronicles of the invaders by John Connolly and JENNIFER RIDYARD
By far above your average young adult series

Young lovers from two different worlds join together against a common foe...... sound chess doesn't it ? Well this is not your average teen love story fare . Connolly can turn his hand to practicaly any genre, he is know as a thriller writer but this series is up there with the best in this category
