About this listen
A new world offered Felicity Grant hope of riches, plentiful forests, and an arranged wedding engagement - but no one mentioned the monsters.
Felicity’s father squanders the family fortune, then decides to travel across the sea to build a new life. She leaves behind her world of airships and automatons for one of the horse-drawn buggies. When the Grants arrive at port, they find it deserted. Meals are half-eaten on the tables, and fires smolder in the cookhouse. However, the inhabitants are still out there, only they’ve changed - and they’re hungry.
The undead rotters tear through the steamship’s crew and passengers, and nothing seems to be able to stop them, not even cutting off their heads - Felicity knows; she tried. Seeking answers to destroying the rotters dressed in ragged uniforms tosses Felicity in the middle of a battle between the primitive tribes native to the land and the high-tech militia seeking to conquer them.
With desolation, the only thing remaining for her in the old world, Felicity must pick up a gun and make sure she survives the new one.

Books one through three in the Texas Women of Spirit series. Clean Christian fiction set in 1890s Texas. Zillia Bright never dreamed she’d be orphaned at 16 and left to care for her baby brother and Papa’s farm. With only a mule and a 100-year-old shotgun, she must fight to protect what's hers. Countless dangers lurk on the Bastrop, Texas, riverside. Zillia must rely on the help of her best friends, Soonie and Wylder, to hold her world together. With Zillia’s struggles come unexpected miracles, and proof that God might just listen to the prayers of a river girl.

Steampunk? SciFi? HistFi? Romance? Fantasy?
N.B. I received a free copy of this book via freeaudiobookcodes.com. I was unfamiliar with the Welsh title, but did look it up (deep longing for something). This was an interesting book. I really enjoyed it, but can't really place the genre. It has aspects of historical fiction, SciFi/steampunk, romance, fantasy, zombie horror, etc. I wasn't sure if the new world in the book was another continent or a different planet entirely, but I lean towards the former. I wish there had been more of a resolution with the native love interest, but maybe that's handled in a later book in the series. The narrator's accent has a lovely musical quality that really lends well to the story. Overall, I really enjoyed this book.
