Agamemnon Frost and the House of deathmau5

Okay this was crazy The cover is what first drew my interest to this story but when I originally read the blurb for this I was immediately turned off by the Victorian England slash alien invasion concept Then something kept pulling me back to it over and over and when I finally realized it would be a trilogy I decided to give it a try It s Liverpool in 1891 and Edgar Mason a former soldier has been hired for the night to play manservant to Agamemnon Frost a well dressed gentleman cough and guest at Sir Randolph s dinner party Mason soon realizes that ALL things aren t what they seem and the two men soon find themselves on the runfrom Martians I m going to separate my review into parts first half and second halfFor the first half the entire first half I was so lost and confused I almost gave up There was a lot of alien speak and I couldn t figure out what the other characters were going on and on about Plus all the Greek references were lost on me I couldn t visualize any of the alien contraptions nor could I picture what the bad guys were doing to the MC It was like all this was written for a higher level of intelligence and my measly human brain could not comprehend the complexity of it Like I said it was a real struggle for me to continue reading Then for the second half like right AT the 50% mark something changed and all of a sudden it was making sense and I was really interested in what was going to happen The story was still crazy but by then it was a fun crazy in a creative and unique way I now believe that the beginning was meant to be confusing and hard to follow since we are getting the story from Mason s third person POV and not necessarily a poor execution from the author My favorite part of this story was the sexual tension between Mason and Agamemnon There s lots of heat there that I really hope will finally reach a climax in the next book Yes I can t wait to read it I must find out what happens I am really really intrigued by Agamemnon and want to know of his secrets and I want to know what s really going on in Mason s head I m giving this one 3 stars for the fact that it failed to hold my interest for a large part of the story Don t let the historical aspects scare you if that s not usually your thing because the feel of the story is science fiction alternate universe Reviewed for The Blog of Sid Love 9781426895999 This is a lovely introduction to what I hope is a long series The world building is steampunk combined with medical experimentation and captivated me The leads of Frost and Mason are well introduced here and set up a compelling relationship I hope to read about To be honest the relationship development is secondary to the plot but I was okay with that as what I got was delicious I absolutely look forward to the next installment of Frost and Mason s adventures and hope it finds them some private time together review copy from publisher 9781426895999 One night s work Just one. Agamemnon Frost and the House of deathmatch It takes only one night s work as Agamemnon Frost s valet to topple Mason s world over and tell this story One night This is a leitmotiv in his mind as he faces want fear and death Indeed Agamemnon and the House of Death is a story of want starting suspiciously at first sight and taking roots with a shaving scene what is it with shaving scenes golden eyes and smirking mouth wet skin and offered throat sandalwood and vanilla need to taste and rush of want. Agamemnon frost and the house of deathmoon I m quite taken with their chemistry Truth be told it s what I enjoyed the most in this instalment and Mason s sexual frustration is my first motivation to go on with the series I want of the chemistry provided that the author gives us insights into her characters and a development of the shifts in their dynamics Frost particularly is elusive which is part of his persona and I want of him That s my second motivation Fear and Death It s also a gothic spy story with the mandatory villain plotting the world domination whose main plot device is a little disconcerting I didn t really get into this aspect of the story a part of my brain never lowered the raised eyebrows even though I liked the action scenes in the end Perhaps book 2 will run smoothly now that I m familiar with Frost s and Mason s world. Agamemnon frost and the house of deathola All in all I m not 100% won over but this first book left me with expectations 9781426895999 I loved it While I wanted the promise of the sequels made up for any and all disappointments concerning the books length and lack of romantic storyline Don t get me wrong there was LOTS of romance with LOTS of shockingly great character and world development but the book was too short for me I like to commit to long ish novels so novellas really aren t my thing but Knox is so talented that the book s length was not a problem at the end of the day. Agamemnon Frost and the House of deathmire Mason and Frost are cute and endearing and sorta perfect for each other even though they just met It s like the instachemistry that Sherlock and Watson have in BBC s SHERLOCK with Benedict Cumberbitch er Cumberbatch and where the romantic undertones are only playful jabs in SHERLOCK in Agamemnon Frost and the House of Death there are no playful suggestions just full on hot chemistry and wild on the wind romance but no the cheesy kind There are aliens but it makes it so much intense It is not silly or dumb but just the perfect amount of camp This world is extremely real and wonderful While the book does have romance and sexual m m situations the sextimes are not story fillers but are rather simply organic and very funThe action is intense the aliens are crazy and complex the characters even the brief side characters are 3 D and brilliant Buy read and love This book is a win Cannot wait for the sequel V 9781426895999 I am glad I haven t read the whole book description before reading this. Agamemnon Frost and the House of deathmau5 5Agamemnon Frost and the House of Death is one of the weirdest stories I ve read It all comes down to my expectations All I knew is this is a steampunk romance nothing And I am glad That description tells almost everything about it It is written in the third person but seen through the eyes of Edgar Mason a decorated soldier Mason is retired now and he works as a manservant That s how he ends up with Agamemnon Frost. Agamemnon frost and the house of deathton Mason definitely was not prepared for Frost He expected a dandy and he hates them When he meets Frost for the first time Frost sets his teeth on edge Unfortunately or fortunately Frost drops his dandy mask and Mason soon realizes that he would be better off with a dandy after all It is funny how he react to Frost It goes beyond lust Even when he thinks of Frost as a complete madman he can t help wanting him There is no sex in this story only a few really hot moments between them He was insane Utterly handsome but completely insane There are a few things that are a bit too convenient and weird near the end of the story Everything seems too sudden and a lot of it was left unexplained Maybe in the next book s we ll get information about the enemy Right now this is a great start with just enough of the story to make me want to read 9781426895999 Kim Knox Brewing stories of romance magic darkness and technology in a little corner of North West England And yes Im drinking tea Kim Knox Brewing stories of romance magic darkness and technology in a little corner of North West England And yes I m drinking tea site_link Book one of Agamemnon Frost Liverpool 1891 Decorated artilleryman Edgar Mason was forced to find new work when the British Empire replaced its foot soldiers with monstrous machines Now he waits on the Liverpool elite as a personal servant He has just one rule he won t work for fashion addled dandies Agamemnon Frost however is far from the foppish man about town he appears to be He s working to protect the Earth from an alien invasion being planned by a face changing creature known as Pandarus And on the night he plans to confront the aliens he enlists Mason to assist him For a man to love a man is a serious crime in Victorian England But when Mason meets Frost his heart thunders and his blood catches fire And when Pandarus drags the two men into the torture cellars beneath his house of death to brainwash them Mason s new passion may be all that stands between him and insanity The trilogy continues with Agamemnon Frost and the Hollow Ships Agamemnon Frost and the House of Death Agamemnon Frost 1 This is a strange one to rate and review as I both enjoyed it but also at times found myself a bit overloaded by what was going on in the story This is a pretty short novella but it packs a hell of a lot in I found myself fascinated though by the character of Agamemnon Frost who presents himself as a fop and a dandy but underlying is far from either And there s no doubt that even though there s very little on page sexual encounters the relationship he has with poor Morgan whose life is literally changed when he gets pulled into the mayhem simmers with sexual tension. Agamemnon Frost and the House of deathzone ip Morgan himself is an interesting character bi sexual but instantly drawn to Agamemnon who oozes a strong charisma he also has hidden depths which I think will be expanded over the series Things in this story are nothing like they seem and the mix of steam punk Victoriana and Martians yep I said Martians is intriguing enough to make me put my pre orders in for the next two and I can see a possibility of my ratings going up to a five star once I start to get my head around the intricacies of the world building. Agamemnon Frost and the House of deathproof Definitely quirky and most definitely as different as they come I think I m probably going to get hooked And the prices are unbelievably low This was under a pound and well worth the money Take me to your leader 9781426895999 I received this book as an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Agamemnon frost and the house of deathzone cast An interesting story with a refreshingly different premise I like the mixture of the Victorian style setting and the aliens It made for fun reading The plot is well done but a bit rough in spots The characters are interesting and I liked the hints of what Edgar and Agamemnon are going to come to mean to each other I loved that Agamemnon was much than he first appeared to be and it was nice seeing Edgar unbend a bit over the course of the story I m looking forward to seeing how the story develops from here Overall a good start to a fun new series 9781426895999 YES That pretty much sums up this book for me I can t give a better review than just that one word but for those that do not know me I will explain I love the following categories m m historical fiction steampunk Sherlock Holmes science fiction with alien life and mystery Throw all those things together and you have one explosive book that defies categorization and makes for sheer awesome THAT IS THIS BOOK I didn t put it down I sat and read it in one sitting and even when I had to move rooms I carried it and walked while reading to the other room This book is just amazing and I am SO GLAD it s part of a trilogy at least Please PLEASE Kim Knox DON T STOP THERE Agamemnon Frost is a great character As Mason says he has many masks and he wears all of them well When Mason is hired to be his valet for a night at a party Mason has no idea what he s gotten himself into Apparently Martians are trying to turn people into automatons and take over the world or something That part isn t clear because the humans don t know exactly what they re after either Which makes it that much interesting I loved Mason too When he goes through his transfiguration it s not 100% the way Frost would have liked it and there are moments when I think all is in despair But fear not Frost is too smart and knows what s going on and reacts accordingly Not only that but the two men together have some serious sexual tension building Though there is no acting on it in this book that was fine with me The world and character building was enough I m hooked Move over Sherlock Holmes There s a new man in town and his name is Agamemnon Frost 9781426895999 This is one strange little story. Agamemnon Frost and the House of deathqueenhello roblox What do you get when you combine steampunk with deranged global domination minded aliens You get this book I had many WTF moments while reading this story but I just decided that this book would be a learning experience I m not much of a steampunk fan but this quickly moved from steampunk to kind of body snatching sci fi It was odd but strangely pleasant I DID manage to get into the world as crazy as it was in a pretty short amount of time This book is not really a romance and it doesn t have any sex scenes I know Boo hiss but it seems like this series is going to build on what happened between the two MCs here I kind of felt like this was an intro and not a full story so I left it feeling a bit unfulfilled Did I enjoy it Surprisingly I did It certainly kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review 9781426895999 i dunno really. Agamemnon frost and the house of deathwalkers it suffered from a reliance on expository dialogue to advance the plot mostly i feel like it could have been longer unfolding at a naturally visual pace and thus obviate the need for one character to explain to another character what has happened what is happening or what is about to happen: Agamemnon frost and the house of deathnet the arc s too short by the time my feet are settled in the world the conclusion s come and gone and the bits i really cared about have only been teased, Agamemnon frost and the house of deathmoon it reads like the first segment of a serial which is only bad inasmuch as it leaves me unsatisfied with the amount of story i got for my money, Agamemnon frost and the house of deathquest cast i d definitely read there s some good character work with the titular character and the narrator and the dynamic between them is in an interesting state by the end.3.kind of a rough start though 9781426895999
