Quitting her husband's house and moving back in with her horrible family, Lady Maccon becomes the scandal of the London season in the third book of the NYT bestselling Parasol Protectorate series.Queen Victoria dismisses her from the Shadow Council, and the only person who can explain anything, Lord Akeldama, unexpectedly leaves town. To top it all off, Alexia is attacked by homicidal mechanical ladybugs, indicating, as only ladybugs can, the fact that all of London's vampires are now very much interested in seeing Alexia quite thoroughly dead.While Lord Maccon elects to get progressively more inebriated and Professor Lyall desperately tries to hold the Woolsey werewolf pack together, Alexia flees England for Italy in search of the mysterious Templars. Only they know enough about the preternatural to explain her increasingly inconvenient condition, but they may be worse than the vampires -- and they're armed with pesto.Blameless is the third book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.

"Another wonderful book in a delightfully fun series!"

"Arming. Witty. Whimsical. "

"The third book in the series and I wasn't left disappointed. There is something about Emily Gray that makes everything seem so brilliant. The only trouble is that I've started to speak like her and my friends and family have been giving me weird looks. One thing I wish I could go around saying? Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings. I love it every time Emily says that.<br/><br/>There are a few things we learn in this book. It can take a long time for men to realize their wrong (ha!), that maybe Italy was not a good idea (men wearing nightshirts, I'll say!), and what it means for the female specimen to get pregnant. I really did love this book and glad I took a chance on this series with the audiobooks. As I've said before, I read the first book 4 years ago with no need to move on in the series. After the audiobook, this series got so much better. Glad I found it and took a chance. Now I just have to wait for my credits this month to get the last two books! Oh the agony of waiting!"

"Quite the entertaining adventure. The Lord Woosley kicked his wife out of Woosley Castle upon their return from Scotland causing Alexia to move back in with her parents. After her reputation was soiled publicly in the papers, Alexia's father kicked her out as well to improve her half sisters marriage prospects. Alexia, left with no other choice but to leave the country in search for answers to her plight heads to Italy. Along the way, Alexia finds herself being attacked by vampires, poisonous mechanical ladybugs and kidnapped by the most dangerous fanatic group in Italy bent on destroying supernaturals. Professor Lyle, Biffy, Lord Eckledama, Ivy, Madame Lafou and some strange and wild new characters reintroduced furthering the weird but exciting plot continued from the last book. Highly recommended to those who have read the first two books in the series and loved them. These books are great in audiobook, especially narrated by Emily Gray! The accents are excellent and fun to listen to."
