Not as stellar as Soulless, but leaps better than Changeless.
So Alexia is cast off by her husband because she's pregnant and he doesn't think he is the father because werewolves can't reproduce. She moves back in with her family and is at turns miserable because her husband was such an ass (he was awful to her) and pissed.
After the news of her pregnancy and her husband's reaction to it hits the gossip pages, Alexia is officially persona non grata. Her family kicks her out, the Queen disavows her and decent women everyone turn their faces away.
Luckily for Alexia, she is made of sterner stuff. She doesn't care what other people think and she is remarkably resilient when censure is cast her way. But she does care about proving her husband wrong. She also has some loyal persons still in her corner. She lerns that the answers she seeks about her unborn child lies abroad. So she leaves London to seek her proof in Italy.
Meanwhile Connal is in a drunken miserable stupor, Lord Akeldama has mysteriously disappeared, the Vampires have put a price on Alexia's head so it is open season on her and poor Prof. Lyall has to try to keep the Woolsey pack together.
This book went by much quicker than the previous book and featured a few surprising twists. I did find Alexia's travels & travails through Italy a little wearying after time. However the quick switches back to London and how Prof. Lyall was holding everything together are what really made the story.
The biggest con of the story is the lack of face time Connall and Alexia have. They spend almost the entire book apart. Also I was disappointed at how easily Alexia forgave him, but her sanguine practicality is part of her nature so it made sense.
I can't wait to see what is in store for my poor Biffy, though.
Onto the next one.
