Ruby Heart: Cry Havoc Book 1 (Cry Havoc Series) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 39 ratings

Ruby Heart Cry Havoc Book One Paranormal Victorian steampunk fantasy, with Gothic horror and romance. A book of manners, magic and mayhem. After her father is murdered, budding scientist Jemima Hardcastle is packed off to boarding school by her guardian and heir to Willow Park, Edward Huntington. When they finally meet again at a house party, four years later, Edward doesn’t recognise his ward and the two share a flirtation that is broken when Jemima confesses her true identity. The murder of another party guest and the theft of a precious gem interrupt any chance they have to resolve their feelings. Edward coldly ships Jemima off once more – this time back to her old home. At Willow Park, under the chaperonage of the odious Aunt Prudence and meek cousin Milly, Jemima is expected to concentrate on her needlework. Instead, she finds a friend in Edward’s man, Fulton, who shows her the artificial leg his employer built for him. Impressed by this revelation of scientific genius and generosity, Jemima’s esteem for Edward rises and she longs to see him again — but he does not arrive home as planned. When she discovers he has been abducted, Jemima plans a rescue, but unbeknownst to her, Edward is a gentleman magician and his devices have more than science on their side. She and Fulton plunge into London’s hidden world of dark sorcery as they search everywhere for Edward — in the slums, manufactureys, and even a bawdy house until Jemima’s life is on the line.

    Loved it from start to finish. The romance, science, The magic all blended nicely to make an exceptional read. You won't be disappointed.

    Not my normal reading fare, but I enjoyed it immensely. I was pleasantly surprised at the length of this novel. Instead of splitting it up into several tiny books, it's a full length read. Thank goodness! Refreshing in this age of "publish 3 chapters and call it a book". Thank you and please continue in this vein; don't stoop to their level!

    I love steampunk but this story didn't live up to expectations. Some parts felt off or flat. Add in multiple odious characters and it was a bust despite the interesting plot and sweet side romance.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Steampunk perfection
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2019
    A fantastic read, great characters, Jemima Is sassy and headstrong, Hilly is the perfect balance to Jemima and the dilema of who the male characters really are against the mystery, romance, and vampires is a perfect, winning combination.
