Mallory Heart's Reviews:
REVIEW: NEFERTITI' S HEART by A. W. Exley
[ARTIFACT HUNTERS #1]
If you prefer your steampunk early Victorian with violence, brutality, a frisson of romance and sensuality, plus mystery and a rockin' strong female protagonist, here's your story. It's 1861 and Cara Devon, cast-out daughter of the recently deceased Lord Devon, devotee of archaeological artifacts, is twenty-one, determined to find just enough of his hidden collections to sell and then leave London. Her upbringing has been nothing but dire, and Cara has no reason to trust anyone, especially the nobleman who is king of London's Underworld--not even to avoid a serial killer targeting young debutantes.

Review: HATSHEPSHUT'S COLLAR by A. W. Exley
[ARTIFACT HUNTERS BOOK TWO]
London 1861
Cara Devon, that seven-year nomad, was waylaid by romance and sensuality when she met Nathaniel, Lord Lyons, King of the Underworld. Now she is part of his life and a colleague in some of his more aboveboard business interests. Life is fairly smooth until Queen Victoria commences a conscription drive in preparation for a new and unnecessary war. Then Nathaniel is unthinkably arrested and hauled off to the Tower of London for execution. Turns out the Queen is being driven quite mad by an artifact, Hatshepshut's Collar, so Cara must determine how to free both the Royal Mother and Cara's own heartthrob, to whom she is is inextricably connected through Nefertiti's Heart.
Review: NERO'S FIDDLE [ARTIFACT HUNTERS BOOK THREE]
Wherever Cara Devon and Nathaniel Lyons are, romance, sensuality, and danger are definite to abound. Commencing with a septuagenarian fatally spontaneously combusted, Cara and Nathaniel's sojourn at the hideous Gothic stone monstrosity (the Lyons country estate) will of course be interrupted for danger, adventure, travel--and artifact hunts.
Review: MOSEH'S STAFF [ARTIFACT HUNTERS BOOK FOUR]
A. W. Exley doesn't do plain ordinary Steampunk, nor run-of-the-mill historical romantic fantasy. Hers is a whole new category, I venture to say, High Victorian magical fantasy Steampunk, with plenty of emotions and romance, sensuality and lust, violence and brutal scheming, heroes and villains. This series is a fast read simply because the pages practically turn themselves. In this installment London is encased in ice, due to the machinations of the evil one known as The Collector. When Cara and Nate are separated, neither can rely on the other and must forge on alone. Expect lots of danger and Artifact magic.
