Reread to hopefully continue on!! 2019
*****
I thought the beginning of the book was hilarious. Alexia is something else and a danger with that parasol! She has no problems with whacking people in the head or men in their nether regions! Lol
Alexia is soulless <--- meaning just what I said, she doesn't have a soul and just her touch can take away others powers, such as the vampires and werewolves.
In the beginning of the book she is attacked in the library by a rove vampire. He was starved, had no sense of anything really and ended up dead when he messed with the wrong woman, Alexia
Alexia has a love interest named Lord Maccon (yum) and he's the alpha werewolf and also he is a leader in BUR(Bureau of Unnatural Registry) Alexia would like to be involved with the bureau but Lord Maccon told she wasn't covert. Of course this rankled her feathers but it is what it is.
They all end up trying to find out what is going on with the vampires and some werewolf stuff. Someone is doing evil things. A bunch of twats as usual.
There are several characters in the story that I enjoyed as well.
I have to say in the carriage ride to their home, Lord Maccon and Alexia had me cracking up! Dear Lord, the things she said!!
All in all it was a great book!!

Yay! I'm glad =)
Thank you, I will do a better one later. I'm just having a hard day and it's going to be a not so great day =(
I bought this book last month and I'll read it soon :)
Awesome! I hope you like it =)
Great review Melissa! I tried this and got part of the way through it and put it down. Perhaps I should push on as you did. Hope your day gets better!
Gary wrote: "I love this series."Yay! Gary, I hope to love them too =)
Fab review, Mel. I too am having a bad day today, so I shall send you rubbish-day-survival-vibes across the ocean!
PorshaJo wrote: "Great review Melissa! I tried this and got part of the way through it and put it down. Perhaps I should push on as you did. Hope your day gets better!"That's how I felt at first and then I pushed on. I'm going to re-read it before I start the others later on. I really enjoyed so much of it but I think it's my mood seriously. Some stuff upset me and then I have to be taken to the doctor today in a thunderstorm. I'm hoping it will pass but it's getting closer to leaving and we have some thunder and a little rain. It will probably hit when we leave!

And I'll be watching for your reviews on the remaining books in this series. It seems like a fun series. Just need to push on through them.

I am going to do a better review of this book and re-read it later on when I feel like tackling all of the books. I think I said that already! My nerves, I'm repeating myself.
Terrific review, Melissa! :-)
Thank you so much, Jo =)
Her YA series is really good as well. It takes place many years before the events in The Parasol Protectorate series. I still have the final book to finish in thst series before I start the series set after TPP series. There are some short stories floating around as well in ebook format. One features the father of our favorite parasol weilding character.
Awesome! I will look into them later on =)
Awesome review....I have to get back on this series!!! I think I have to start book 3???!!!
Yay, Misty =). I hope you're enjoying the series. I'm going to read them all at some point.
I enjoyed book 2. There is even a sort of cliffhanger that I remember!!! (it's pretty Scandalous especially for that time period!!!) There are just so many books to read!!! Hopefully I'll get to book 3 sometime this year. ;)
I know what you mean. There is never enough time to read them all !
I hope your mood is doing better. I am a mood reader too Melissa! Great review!
Thank you, Mary =) Then you know what I mean :-/
InteresTING....might check this one out :) Lovely review, woman.
Thank you, lovey =) xo
Thank you so much, Candace =)
Always trying for something new and different......do you think this is a chick flick kind of book/series or would a guy like it? I do like books with the humor you describe.
Gah! I don't know if you would like it or not. You could try the library first. I don't think it's too chic flicky 😄
