Changeless by Gail Carriger
Feb. 9th, 2011 11:44 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Lady Alexia is rudely awoken in the wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find rather peculiar events transpiring.
Her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, is yelling at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears – leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts and an angry Queen Victoria.
But Alexia is armed with her trusty parasol, the latest fashions and an arsenal of biting civility. Even when her investigations take her to Scotland, the backwater of ugly waistcoats, she is prepared – pending werewolf pack dynamics as only the soulless can.
She might even find time to track down her wayward husband if she feels like it.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
A witty sequel packed with interesting characters, steampunk elements and some steamy romance, this was an entertaining story full of twists and turns. Although there are some Americanisms in the text, there weren’t so many as to spoil my enjoyment and my main criticism relates to the cliffhanger ending, which didn’t work for me but has ensured that I will read the next book in the series, BLAMELESS.
