Muse by Brittany Cavallaro

It's an alternate history where America is a monarchy and the country isn't divided into the states as we know them.
And there's fantasy that might be science....
I loved that we got to see historical figures, and the scientists. 
Remy's cool.

A Master of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark

 Alternate history. Cairo right after World War One....and it has magic. Sveet. My history nerd brain is screaming. 
all the Indiana Jones vibes.
Aaaaaaaaaaand the Brits are being Brits. Good times. I am here for commentary on countries doing things that are wrong. 
The mystery. the murder. the magic. 
I had a ship idea, but like....ok...
I love that rather than trying to get rid of magic or see it as bad or evil, the world co-exists, and there are just organizations to make sure nothing gets too out of hand.

Historical fiction + fighting zombies. Sign me up.
