Heartless by Gail Carriger

Heartless (Parasol Protectorate, #4)

by Gail Carriger

Lady Alexia Maccon, soulless, is at it again, only this time the trouble in the air is not her fault. When a mad ghost threatens the queen, Alexia is on the case, following a trail that leads her deep into her husband's past. Top that off with a sister who has joined the suffragette movement (shocking!), Madame Lefoux's latest mechanical invention, and a plague of zombie porcupines - and Alexia barely has time to remember she just happens to be eight months pregnant.

Will Alexia be able to figure out who is trying to kill Queen Victoria before it's too late? Is it the vampires again or is there a traitor lurking about in wolf's clothing? And do they really have to take up residence in Lord Akeldama's second best closet?

***Also available as a manga adaptation***

This book took me a while to read, and it wasn't really that it was the book itself, more that I had gotten into a hard patch in my life at the time I started to read this book. Though while I still loved the book, it wasn't one of my fav's I think the best part was the last few chapters. It just didn't seem like the typical Alexia book. Well still though I can't to read the next one.
