Heartless



Heartless by Gail Carriger 
374 pages
Lady Alexia Maccon is back, eight months pregnant, but that’s not slowing her down.  She has become irritated with the vampires trying to kill her because of her pregnancy, but a solution has presented itself; Lord Akeldama will officially adopt the child.  If it is raised by a vampire, the vampire hives won’t have a reason to worry about it being born.  Alexia agrees to this, because she and her husband take the house next door and plan to actually live in Lord Akeldama’s house secretly until the child is of age.  Besides all of her regular duties, Alexia is visited by a ghost who warns of a plot to kill the Queen, so Alexia is kept busy running around London trying to uncover the plot in order to prevent the deed from taking place.  Some background information regarding Alexia’s father is revealed in this book also.  Fans of the supernatural, vampires and werewolves will probably enjoy this series, although starting with the first book would be recommended.
