Waiting on Wednesday: Timeless

Because we all have something we're waiting for.

Timeless
Author: Gail Carriger
Series: Parasol Protectorate (#5)
Release Date: 1 March 2012

Alexia Tarabotti, Lady Maccon, has settled into domestic bliss. Of course, being Alexia, such bliss involves integrating werewolves into London High society, living in a vampire's second best closet, and coping with a precocious toddler who is prone to turning supernatural willy-nilly. Even Ivy Tunstell's acting troupe's latest play, disastrous to say the least, cannot put a damper on Alexia's enjoyment of her new London lifestyle.

Until, that is, she receives a summons from Alexandria that cannot be ignored. With husband, child, and Tunstells in tow, Alexia boards a steamer to cross the Mediterranean. But Egypt may hold more mysteries than even the indomitable Lady Maccon can handle. What does the vampire Queen of the Alexandria Hive really want from her? Why is the God-Breaker Plague suddenly expanding? And how has Ivy Tunstell suddenly become the most popular actress in all the British Empire?

My love of this series knows no bounds. Are the plots a bit easy to figure out? Of course. Should Alexia have put up more of a fight after Maccon's treatment of her in the last book? Of course, but let's also remember that it IS Maccon, and as far as werewolf alphas go, he's definitley the most honest. AND the sexiest.

Long story short: I can't have enough of Alexia Tarabotti in my life, silly plots and all.
