The Secret History Of Elizabeth Tudor, Vampire Slayer (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
This was very good for a "smash up" book, though not as good as Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. The attention to detail was blended almost perfectly with fiction but I feel this would have been better as an alternate universe story due to some minor points. In the book Robert Dudley was single. In real life, he was not only married, but he was married before Elizabeth became queen. I think I would have enjoyed having a sub plot where Amy (Dudley's wife) was murdered by a vampire (as in real life her death is a mystery in itself). I also did not fully believe that the main villian was evil - maybe it's because I read a lot of vampire romance and root for the man with the fangs most of the time... This was one of the books I picked up while Border's was going out of business. I must say, I'm pretty pleased that I did not pay full price for this particular novel. While I picked up the book because I found the idea of Elizabeth Tudor as a vampire slayer amusing, I must say I was more fascinated by the idea of the book than by the actual book itself. It was hard to get through, as I had a hard time forcing myself to read more than a chapter or two at a time. Sooo... meh, I suppose. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great either.
What do You think about The Secret History Of Elizabeth Tudor, Vampire Slayer (2010)?
It was strange concept, but wonderful execution. Each character seem to pop out of the novel.

This is very entertaining. It held my interest. I now want to read Bram Stoker's, Dracula.
