Long Live the Queen

By Kate Locke (Hardcover Book, 2013)
Xandra Vardan thought life would be simpler when she accepted the goblin crown and became their queen, but life has only become more complicated. Everyone -- vampires, werewolves and humans -- wants the goblins on their side, because whoever has the goblins -- wins.

Queen Victoria wants her head, Alpha wolf Vex wants her heart, and she still doesn't know the identity of the person who wanted her blood. What she does know is that a project from one of the 'secret' aristocrat labs has gotten free and she's the only one who can stop the perfect killing machine -- a sixteen year-old girl. With human zealots intent on ridding the world of anyone with plagued blood and supernatural politics taking Britain to the verge of civil war, Xandra's finding out that being queen isn't all it's cracked up to be, and if she doesn't do something fast, hers will be the shortest reign in history.

Kate Locke is a shameless anglophile who wrote her first book at age 12. Fortunately, that book about a British pop band is lost forever. During 'off' hours Kate often screeches along to Rock Band (being a rock star was her second career choice if the writing thing didn't work out), watches BBC America, or plays with makeup. She loves history, the paranormal, horror, and sparkly things. Find out more about Kate Locke atwww.katelocke.com and on twitter @KLockework.

  • "A fantastic ride from beginning to end." (Gail Dayton on God Save the Queen).

  • "[Locke] is as sparkly and tough as her writing; this series is grand fun for urban fantasy fans." (Library Journal on God Save the Queen).

  • "Locke's writing is smart and fast-paced, full of sharp dialogue and vivid detail.  This stylish, original story is perfectly suited to a wonderfully constructed world."  (Publishers Weekly on God Save the Queen).

  • "Delightfully hard-boiled attitude... this is a fun adventure all around." (Locus on God Save the Queen).
