Historical/Paranormal/ Steampunk tale, third of the Parasol Protectorate by Gail Carriger. Our very stalwart, very proper English heroine Alexia, finds herself in a very indelicate condition, and a pariah among the English Social set. Hurt, and angry with her husband, she sets out to Italy, to learn more about her heritage, and her current predicament. Meanwhile, back at the Scottish castle, Lord Woolsey is indulging in formadahyde and his Beta is left to manage the Pack and BUR. Alexia has vampires trying to assassinate her, and Templars bent on their own agenda. By the time her hubby sobers up and realizes the error of his ways, Alexia is well on her way to sorting everything out. This is a pretty good book, very different from other paranormals, and fun. Lord Akeldama gets the best line in the book. Can't wait to read the fourth in series, "Heartless."
