Another fantastic read. I had to know what happened next so badly that I bought the ebook of it right away (at $7.99 too, which is rare for me) just so I could keep reading!
Disclaimer: Do not read if you have not read Soulless!
Alexia Maccon has been married to Lord Conall Maccon for about three months, making her a “Lady,” if not a proper one. She has settled in nicely to Woolsey Castle between Lord Maccon’s constant amorous pursuit of her and keeping to a sunset schedule. Apparently, three months of wedded bliss is all she will get.
Conall Maccon runs off soon after the couple awakens without giving Alexia a clue as to where he is going or what he is up to. Already miffed, Alexia finds a large encampment of soldiers on her front lawn and gets a bad first impression of Major Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings who is also the Woolsey pack’s Gamma or third-in-command.
Besides becoming Lady Maccon, Alexia has also become muhjah to Queen Victoria, Her Majesty’s preternatural advisor. One of her main roles is to act as tie-breaker between the dewan (the werewolf advisor) and the potentate (the vampire advisor). So, after a delay by her dear friend and recently engaged Ivy Hisselpenny, Lady Maccon finally makes it to her Shadow Council meeting with the dewan and potentate. There, she finds out why her husband left in such a hurry: the entire supernatural set is mortal, at least around London.
When Alexia finds out that Conall has gone to Scotland and to his old pack and that this changelessness is heading that way as well, she boards a dirigible for her first ever flight, but is forced to take along Tunstell, Ivy, her sister Felicity, her maid Angelique, and she is tailed by a strange Frenchwoman, Madame Lefoux. With all of these characters on board, you know it will be a wild ride!
Changeless has tons more steampunk elements in it with the dirigible, Alexia’s new parasol, the ascension room, and others. I may not always understand what all of the gadgets are, especially when Madame Lefoux is gushing over them, but I enjoyed their addition.

I loved this book even more than I liked book one in the series if that is at all possible.
The same sense of humor was throughout this book and there was a lot more mystery and intrigue in this one than in the last.
I loved the introduction of new characters and although the ending was a bit of a cliffhanger I cant wait to read the next book in this series.
I am addicted.

I may have to kill that werewolf, that idiot...
Plot: something is turning supernatural beings human and it's causing quite a stir in Victorian England. Of course Alexia has to be in the middle of it, as well as the better portion of her household. Plus the werewolf troops are back from the war and the vampires have their own plots.
This is another great book. It's never what I expect it to be, but it's always everything I want. I love all the main characters (despite my new desire to seriously injure one of them). Look forward to reading the next with enthusiasm.

Look at me, reading a second book in a series, wow.
I liked this one slightly less than the first, but that's a little unfair considering that I've reread the first a few times now. Also, the first opens an adventure and does a fantastic job of introducing both Alexia and Lord Maccon. Here, we see them settling into a new life... kind of. Everything is quickly upset by the arrival of more wolves, a mysterious something that won't let supernaturals change, a trip to Scotland, and also the fact that Lord and Lady Maccon are still trying to get used to each other.
We get an even better sense in this book of what it means for Alexia to be soulless. I love all her practicality and the way she approaches everything directly, sure of herself and her ability to cow and not cower. We get some nice additions to the cast here and get to spend a little more time wild hat lady Ivy and wicked step-sister Felicity. They are fun in the background of an already bustling story. Still, forever fave is Alexia.
That ending, man. I'm so upset at a certain werewolf, though I'm curious to see how Alexia will own this situation. In a very Alexia way, I'm sure.
After reading the first in the series, Soulless, I was happy to settle in with the second. Vampires, werewolves, and parasols? Oh my! I'm a sucker for alternate histories and you can't get much more alternate than this.
The book introduces a few new characters, like Madame Lefoux, as well as keeps us abreast of what is going on with characters we loved from the first book. As enjoyable as it is to see our intrepid heroine journey to Scotland in search of her wayward husband and the cause of what's keeping those of the paranormal persuasion from changing I have to admit I was a bit cranky at the end. Not because of the way the mystery is cleared up but because of the repercussions of the "surprise" at the end. I very nearly didn't read Blameless (book #3) because I was so cranky. Thankfully it was out already and I didn't have to wait to pick it up in order to learn if everything turns out alright.
