Review: Avalon Revisited

Avalon Revisited, by O.M. Grey, is a wonderfully rich romp through (steampunk) Victorian London. The reader is immediately caught up in the drama and intrigue that is the nobility, but wait, Lord York is a vampire, and there's been a murder, several murders, and the culprit appears to be... A Vampire! What is a rapscallion like Arthur York to do? This will certainly curtail his social life. And just when he's found his true love. But she turns out to be a vampire hunter. Is there no end to difficulties.

This wonderfully written novel is filled with delectable twists and turns that keep the reader, and Arthur, on their toes. We are even graced with a cameo appearance by a certain Victorian physician we immediately recognize. One can't help but loving the scandalous rogue Arthur, and with him we are drawn to the beautiful and mysterious Avalon. The plot is well thought out, and artfully executed by the author. The mystery is enigmatic, the sex is titillating, and the end is emotional and romantic.

In a world of cliché and just-like, Avalon Revisited is refreshingly original. It is steampunk at it's best, and romance at it's finest, wrapped around a murder mystery you can sink your teeth into. O.M. Grey has shown her mastery of speculative fiction and I can't wait to see what is next off the presses.

Bravo, Ms. Grey.
