This book was just so boring. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing particularly right about it either. If you’re looking for a completely generic historical romance, look no further. Lucy Merryweather is an American heiress on her own in London. She has not run away, but traveled to visit her ex-fiance and has decided to stay and have some fun. Along with the money she inherited from her great aunt, she also inherited a diary that lists all of the aunt’s regrets in life. Lucy […]

Very silly fun.
Look, if you’ve made it to book four of this series, you know what you’re in for. Vast quantities of absurd silliness. Lots of naked werewolves (played comedically, of course). Foppish vampires. Alexia being no nonsense and getting herself into all sorts of trouble. A supernatural threat that’s not really a threat, but mostly just an excuse for us to hang out with these characters for four hundred pages. The Parasol Protectorate is not plot heavy. These are hang-out books, and if you happen to […]
