The Adventure of the Incognita Countess (Conversation Pieces Book 53) by Cynthia Ward
4.0
The Adventure of the Incognita Countess (Conversation Pieces Book 53 by Cynthia Ward is a delightful Steampunk mash-up with a lot packed into a 82 page story. I mean, we are on board of RMS Titanic on its ill-fated voyage to New York with Dracula’s dhampir (half vampire) daughter Lucy Harker - who is a spy and monster hunter for the British government – making sure some very hush hush Nautilus plans reach America safely.
But there are also German spies on board who want to get their hands on these plans. And to top it off there is Countess Carmilla Karnstein, the seductive Upiór (vampire) who might or might not work for the Germans. Who can Lucy trust? Is she honor bound to stake the Countess?
A well written, fast paced, lovely vampire romance.
f/f any sexy times are happening off screen, it is not that kind of story
Themes: Edwardian Steampunk, in His Majesty’s Secret Service, secret Martian technology, RMS Titanic, upiór, dhampir, to stake or not to stake that’s the question.
4.3 stars
