I love this series! The mix of Victorian era dialogue and attire and the paranormal elements makes this such a refreshing read.
I remember finishing [b:Changeless|6933876|Changeless (The Parasol Protectorate, #2)|Gail Carriger|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1283185880s/6933876.jpg|7165488] and wanting [b:Blameless|7719355|Blameless (The Parasol Protectorate, #3)|Gail Carriger|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1283185879s/7719355.jpg|10463674] right away! The cliffhanger of Changeless was almost too much but knowing that Blameless would be out soon made it bearable. But now we have to wait until July of 2011 for [b:Heartless|8356487|Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, #4)|Gail Carriger|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|13210545] and I want to scream!
So much happens in Changeless and Blameless that it's nearly impossible to speak about without disclosing some spoilers. Since I'm adamant about not including any spoilers in my reviews, just take my word on this one: Blameless is a must read after Changeless.
If you haven't read this series yet, I highly recommend you give it a shot. I promise you most likely will not be disappointed.

Once again, it's another book in the series that I was up til 2am reading a few nights in a row. I tried to go through this one more slowly because I knew it was the last one in the series. I was happy to find that there are two more in the works. But I'll have to wait til July next year for the next installment.
Still enjoying the stuffing out of this series, even if this particular installment wasn't my favorite. A little too much (rather exhausting) action, and too little Connall. I was also rather irritated with the speed in which things resolved at the end -- it seems a bit rushed. Not to mention I found It out of character how quickly Alexia forgave Connall. I would still be pretty pissed, public apology or no.
However, I did love that we got more LaFoux, more Floote (possibly my new fave), and plenty of Lyall. And I was pleased with Ivy's development. I think that seems promising. As does Biffy's plot line. That should be fun to watch...

Very madcap steampunk capers. Werewolves, vampires, Templars, mad scientists, DIRIGIBLES and, of course, a happy ending.
I read this book in one night, immediately following finishing the second in the series. Luckily for me, I'm more comfortable with how this one ends so I don't need to rush and buy the next (I'm not even sure if the next one is out yet...going to have to check that!)
Disclaimer: Do not read if you have not read Soulless and Changeless!
We last left Lady Alexia Maccon inwardly distraught and fleeing Scotland because her husband turned into a veritable arse at the end of Changeless. It turns out that Alexia is pregnant. Not particularly a big deal when you consider that she is married, but apparently supernaturals are unable to produce offspring. Lord Conall Maccon flew off the handle, instantly believing that Alexia had cheated on him, and called her all kinds of hurtful names.
Blameless is focused on finding out how Alexia and Conall were able to produce offspring. Okay, we know how. Rather, I should say why. Alexia is not particulary happy with the “infant inconvenience” as it cost her her husband, but she wants to find proof that Conall is the father. She has already been cast out by Conall and seeing as her family does not want her and Lord Akeldama and all his drones have disappeared, Alexia decides to go to Italy. Her father was Italian and a preternatural; maybe she can find answers there.
Luckily, Professor Lyall, Floote, and Madame Lefoux believe Alexia and she allies with them. Floote and Madame Lefoux accompany Alexia on the journey to Italy while Professor Lyall stays behind to nurse an inebriated Lord Maccon and take over pack and BUR business since Conall is out of commission and the Gamma, Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings, has disappeared. Consequently, Professor Lyall is one stressed werewolf. He also tries to figure out the mystery behind Lord Akeldama’s disappearance along with all of his drones.
Poor Alexia. I really did feel bad for her. I guess it is good that being preternatural allows her to put logic and practicality above her emotions or she may very well have completely fallen apart (and she still had her moments).
