The Winter Queen By Amanda Mccabe

Swept up in the yule tide season at the court of Elizabeth the I, Rosamund falls for the handsome Anton who may have put her life in danger Just as he is beginning to fall in love with her.
Although the book took me awhile to get through it due the demands of everyday life I thoroughly enjoyed it. Rosamund is a fun but serious woman when it comes to the matters of the heart. she has already been separated from her first love who she later finds out after being with Anton was merely a childhood crush. A great book for the weekend as winter winds down.
Rating: A

The Secret History of Elizabeth Tudor The Vampaire Slayer

Image
A highly palatable fusion of dark fantasy, historical fiction, and Arthurian legend, this first installment of an audacious new mashup series features Queen Elizabeth as Britain's only hope to defeat an "ancient foe" threatening to overwhelm the land. The narrative, presented as a recently unearthed secret diary, begins when an encounter with Anne Boleyn's ghost awakens Elizabeth's latent supernatural powers. With powerful enemies watching her every move, the young queen is informed of an even more pressing concern: Mordred, a thousand-year-old vampire--who happens to be the bastard son of King Arthur--wants to turn Elizabeth into one of the undead and rule England by her side.

During her trials, Jessica Schwarz was smugly defiant, until convictions for criminal child abuse and second-degree murder wiped the smirk off her face. She is now serving a seventy-year prison term. Carol J. Rothgeb, author of "Hometown Killer", and Scott H. Cu...
