While the sounds of battle echo through the sky, a lady doctor has more than enough trouble to keep her busy even in a sleepy hamlet outside London. But the threat is nearer home than Alice knows. German agents have infiltrated her beloved countryside - Nazis who can fly, read minds, and live forever. They're not just fascists. They're vampires.

Alice has no time for fantasy, but when the corpses start appearing sucked dry, she'll have to accept help where she can get it. If that includes a lowly Conscientious Objector who says he's no coward though he refuses to fight, and her very own grandmother, a sane, sensible woman who insists that she's a Devonshire Pixie, so be it. Indeed, whatever it takes to defend home and country from an evil both ancient and terrifyingly modern.

I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but my initial assumption about this book was that it was trash. The plot sounded intriguing, but the cover is just too tacky for words.

I think the book itself lands somewhere midway between the two expectations. Honestly, it was a refreshing change to read a book where the vampires were closer to Bram Stoker's invention, and I really enjoyed the other paranormal aspects also.

There were situations where I had to suspend my disbelief though - even accepting the universe Georgia Evans created - and though they were few, the VERY gratuitous sex scenes meant that I'd more more likely to categorise this as erotic fiction than anything else.
