42. Heartless


Series: Parasol Protectorate #4

Warning: This review contains spoilers for previous books in the series!

Summary: Lady Maccon may be reunited with her husband, but that doesn't mean life is all fine and dandy. She's back to work for Queen Victoria, she's got a household full of werewolves to run, and she's eight months pregnant. Not to mention the vampires constantly trying to kill her. Some days, she scarcely has time for tea! Nevertheless, when Alexia hears a rumor of an assassination attempt on the queen, she knows she has to do what she can to stop it.

My thoughts: This review is rather mini, because at this point I don't know what else to say about this series other than that I continue to love it. The dry humor, the steampunk-ness, the Victorianity (I appear to be making up new words here) of it all wows me every time. It made me happy that we got to see quite a bit of Lord Akeldema this time around, since he's one of the most colorful (haha) characters in the series. Good episode, and I'm excited to wrap it all up with TIMELESS (coming next March).
