Gravely InanimatedBook 1 in the Zombiepunk SeriesBy: Esther WheelmakerExtra, extra, read all about it: Zombies Invade London!It has been thirty years since the Voodoo Queen plagued England with the zombie disease that has since swept the world. Humans have had to learn to function around them while the dead kill innocent people. The government continues its efforts to try to contain and find a cure for the problem.However, by the cover of night, a man who hunts zombie, known only as Aeron, roams the streets in search of protecting the upright citizens from the flesh eating creatures. One foggy evening Lucille Knight becomes one of these people and Aeron’s interest is instantly peeked. A stubborn, feisty "lady" in this day in age? How challenging.But Aeron will have a little competition when Miss. Knight meets Lord Garrett Ashdown, the son of Earl Thomas or a man better known as: The Inventor. A man who builds automatons for the direct purpose of killing zombies; mysteriously understanding their blood and the way they sense humans.Lucy is taken by the masked man known as Aeron and the equally mysterious Lord Garrett. With one concealing his true identity and the other hiding a ghastly secret, she doesn’t know which one is less dangerous. What secrets do Aeron and Garrett keep from Lucy? Will Miss. Knight be able to be with the man she chooses when she learns the awful truth?It is still unclear. And the current edition isn’t spilling the beans just yet…
I'm kind of new to the zombie genre and haven't really got my bearings as to what I think is a 'proper' zombie, and I have never read a steampunk novel before. After reading Wheelmaker's novel, I do believe I will like sitting in this spot.
I have to say I love this novel. Wheelmaker leaves her zombies dangerous and her love triangle interesting (if you know me you know I hate love triangles so that is a fierce compliment) enough for me to want to keep reading. I blew through this book in just two evenings and I am making grabby hands for book 2! This is definitely an author to watch!
My Rating:
Her name is Esther Wheelmaker and she is the author of the new, Zombiepunk Series. With Gravely Inanimated (book one) coming to life, she is pounding away on her typewriter to try and get book two out. However, she is easily distracted by sparkly things.
Her background is a mystery and all anyone knows is she loves hugs, corsets, steampunk, books and Mozart….
…Let’s face it…Everyone likes a girl with a little mystery.
