Book 37 - Changeless: A Parasol Protectorate Novel (2) by Gail Carriger

This review will be incredibly brief and substantially biased simply because I don't like where my characters were left...THIS IS NOT OKAY!


So we enter the second in the Parasol Protectorate series with Alexia and Conall living in honeymoon bliss...at least until a regiment of werewolves shows up on their front lawn.  Then to make matters worse all supernatural beings suddenly lose their supernatural-ness...at least for a little bit and only for a small radius....but still...what the monkey?!  Ivy is in love with Tunstell...Ivy is engaged to NOT Tunstell....and Alexia's sister has been dropped off on her doorstep.  Also, Conall has headed for Scotland to his original home pack for reasons not provided to Alexia.  Alexia has also made a new friend or maybe enemy in a hat maker/inventor/woman who dresses like a man...Madame Lefeoux.  Fearing for her husband's safety due to this 'plague' of humanization, Alexia and her crew of folks have set off to Scotland...in a dirigible.  The trip to Scotland is anything other than boring with not only Alexia's room being ransacked, but also two attempts on her life...once by poisoning and once by trying to knock her ass overboard.  Anyway, she survives and they make it to Scotland.  

Once in Scotland, it's a long story, but they learn the humanization is being caused by a Preternatural that has been mummified and the Scotland pack brought it back from Egypt with them.  Also, Conall ends up successfully turning his great-great-great-granddaughter (maybe a couple more greats in there) into a werewolf so she can now be the legit Alpha of the Scotland pack.  We also learn it is Alexia's maid, Angelique, who has been trying to kill folks and blah blah blah.  Luckily she's not successful, Scotland has a new Alpha, Lefeoux is actually a friend, and Ivy has eloped with Tunstell....and then the ball drops.  

So I'M PISSED...thus the reason for the short short synopsis and review.  Turns out, Alexia is pregnant and apparently it's a physical impossibility for the supernatural to reproduce.  So Conall loses his mother fucking mind and says the child isn't his and accuses Alexia of cheating...like no matter what she says he doesn't believe her.  Well you can go fuck yourself, Conall because for all your intelligence and at least 200 years of existence, has it not crossed your brain dead mind that when your wife touches you, you become HUMAN, and the last fucking time I checked, TWO HUMANS COULD MAKE A FUCKING BABY....by doing what you ask?...FUCKING!   Carriger has got to get these two back together because right now I'm so pissed off with Conall that even if he did grovel I still might would kick him in the dick.  

So yeah...I'm irritated.  Maybe she did it to keep people reading the series but I'm so damn irritated, I don't want to read the next one for a while.  UGHHHH!
