Georgette Heyer meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this smart, funny
graphic novel by Emily McGovern, the award-winning author of My
Life as a Background Slytherin. The year is 1820, and bored young
debutante Lucy knows there must be more to life than embroidery and
engagements - no matter how eligible the bachelor might be. Some
bachelors, she has discovered, are less 'eligible' than they are
'bloodthirsty,' however... literally. It turns out that there are a
lot of vampires in late-Regency England, and Lucy has an eye for
spotting them and the desire to rid the world of them. It's not
long before Lucy -- soon joined by the mysterious Sham, the
blowhard Lord Byron (yes, from books), and Napoleon, Lord Byron's
majestic psychic eagle -- is on the adventure of a lifetime. From
ballrooms to bloodshed, from bonnets to bloodlust... Lucy will
fight evil, be tempted by evil, fight again, be tempted again, and
fight some more. A balm for the soul for readers who love Gail
Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series, novels by Eloisa James and
Jane Austen, and the action and adventure of Xena, Warrior
Princess, Bloodlust & Bonnets is the most modern action-heavy
love-story set two hundred years ago that you'll read this year.
***Readers Love Bloodlust & Bonnets*** 'If you like to make fun
of Lord Byron (which I do), engage in some literary vampire-slaying
(same), poignantly reflect on how very much we all want to be
special (oh, shut up), hear some witty dialogue, and see some good
Regency Lesbian Flirting then you'll enjoy this. My only complaint
is that I cannot access a sequel RIGHT NOW' -Smart Bitches, Trashy
Books 'If you love historical satire, if you love farce, if you
love slightly silly graphic novels, you'll love this' -Nerds Like
Me 'The setting, the characters and the adventure they go on all
create this tapestry of bloodshed and romance. If you know about
your Jane Austen's and Charlotte Bronte's but enjoy a splash of
comical humour and a dollop of pure fantastical adventure, then
you'll eat this up. It's a bleedin' hoot' -Nerdly 'Bloodlust and
Bonnets will delight Jane Austen fans with a sense of humour and
anyone who likes their gags with a touch of the supernatural'
