Gunnie Rose Series by Charlaine Harris
☆⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Gunnie Rose series by Charlaine Harris is set in an alternate timeline of the US where the assassination of FDR led to the fracturing of the nation into five smaller nations, the Holy Roman Empire on the West coast, the new America in the middle of the country, Texahoma (a merging of Texas and Oklahoma), Dixie (the South mostly) and Britannia on the East coast. In another twist, there is magic in this version of the world. Where Rasputin has created a sect of grigoris (wizards) and established a school to teach them the ways of magic. The world-building of the series is thorough and interesting. I found the characters to be engaging and multifaceted. The main character, Lizbeth Rose, is a tough but compassionate young woman who is strong and independent. She is well-aware of her own opinions and smart as well. Book 1: An Easy Death I listened to this novel as a 'graphic audio'. The production was very well done and the voice acting made the characters come to life....
