Gail Carriger's ability to pull the reader back in time through elegant dialogue and proper mannerisms is fantastic. Carriger beautifully captures the styles of Victorian fashion while spinning this magical tale.
The story is captivating and give the reader a new twist to vampires, werewolves, and London society. Readers will find it hard to put the book down before finishing.
The next book in this series is entitled Changeless. It will be highly anticipated by readers of Carriger's work.
