Professor Lyall and Floote get more attention in this great follow-up to Changeless. This book has a lot of action and, of course, an abundance of parasol, tea, and witty discourse. Can't wait for Heartless.

I love this series - this one was especially fun to read with Alexia being pregnant and being preggers myself at the same time.

I like Lyall so much and love that this book in the series focuses so much in him.
This is the third book in the series and may contain spoilers for the first two books!
This third installment picks up shortly after the second where Alexia finds herself cast out by her husband and in disgrace over her infant inconvenience as she so perfectly names it. When her family finds out about her so-called disgrace, they cannot abide by her in their home and cast her out once again. Alexia calls on Lord Akeldama to take her in, only to find himself and all other vampires have disappeared. To top it off, she is also being attacked by large mechanical ladybugs. Alexia and her troop, including Madame Lefaux and the sturdy Floote make their way across Europe to find out the exact nature of the infant-inconvenience.
While I enjoyed this book, it was not as good as the first two. Alexia is still wonderful and I'm glad for the return of Madame Lefaux. However, most of the book is a strange and almost unnecessary chase across several continents by vampires. I was very surprised that it took Lord Maccon so long to come to a blatant realization about Alexia's pregnancy. Although, all of the nonsense that took place at the Templar's was entertaining as well as finding out exactly what Alexia was carrying. Hopefully the next two books will pick back up.

This is one of my absolute favorite series. For me, the first book is my absolute favorite because I enjoy the Alexia/ Conall interactions a great deal. The way that she has them structured in the 2nd and 3rd books isn't quite as much fun for my. My enjoyment of the other characters and their interactions are enjoyable enough that I still really like the rest of the books, though.
