7996689 51zgTTKQlPL

Changeless: Alexia Tarabotti, now Lady Maccon, awakens in the wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, 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 into thebackwaters of ugly waistcoats, Scotland, she is prepared: upending werewolf pack dynamics as only a soulless can.
She might even find time to track down her wayward husband, if she feels like it.

*Contains Spoilers if you haven’t read Soulless! {Im really proud that I was able to keep this review free of spoilers for Changeless and Blameless! YAY!}

My name is Larissa and I am a Spoilerholic! I love spoilers but sometimes my addiction comes and bites me in the butt. Right around the time Changeless came out I made the mistake of reading the blurb for Blameless. That was it, I could NOT read Changeless and deal with the wait for the the next book, so I just waited for the release of Blameless to get close before I read Changeless.

I brought my copy of Changeless on my NY trip and devoured it in hours. My first trip to Barnes & Noble had me getting a copy of Blameless, but before I could do that I ended up buying the kindle version as well, since I didn’t know when I was gonna be able to go to a bookstore. YES, that’s how much I needed to read Blameless.

What I learned from my experience is how amazing the Parasol Protectorate series is and that Soulless was NOT the work of a one hit wonder. Gail Carriger is an amazing writer that has been able to convey the Victorian era beautifully and at the same time add all my favorite elements in the paranormal genre to it.

Alexia and Connall go through the ringer in Changeless and Blameless, I laughed and I cried with them and mostly I just wanted to punch Connall until he came to his senses. Most of all, though, I felt a lot of different emotions while reading these books and in this day and age where you can find so many books and series in your favorite genres, that is the best you can ask for. A story and characters that make you feel strongly is what sets those books apart for me and Gail has delivered that in spades.

I am a card carrying Gail Carriger fan now and I cannot wait for what she will come up with next and for Alexia and Connall’s next adventures! If you haven’t read this series yet, please do, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
