Alexia Tarabotti, Lady Maccon, has settled into domestic bliss. Of course, being Alexia, such bliss involves integrating werewolves into London High society, living in a vampire's second best closet, and coping with a precocious toddler who is prone to turning supernatural willy-nilly. Even Ivy Tunstell's acting troupe's latest play, disastrous to say the least, cannot put a damper on Alexia's enjoyment of her new London lifestyle. Until, that is, she receives a summons from Alexandria that cannot be ignored. With husband, child, and Tunstells in tow, Alexia boards a steamer to cross the Mediterranean. But Egypt may hold more mysteries than even the indomitable Lady Maccon can handle. What does the vampire Queen of the Alexandria Hive really want from her? Why is the God-Breaker Plague suddenly expanding? And how has Ivy Tunstell suddenly become the most popular actress in all the British Empire?

The Parasol Protectorate Concludes submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on July 20, 2013, 2:09am Alexia Tarabotti, Lady Woolsey, and family travel to Egypt to solve a baffling mystery involving attacks on the British supernatural community. While in Africa, the family meets one of the world's oldest vampires and discovers terrible secrets in the dessert.

This series portrays people of color, and gays and lesbians positively in a Victorian setting.

I highly recommend this series (but start with the first novel!), especially to anyone who enjoys steampunk and/or fantasy. The plot keeps readers turning the pages. Sadly, "Timeless" is the last of the five Parasol Protectorate novels. Don't worry, author Gail Carriger has a spin-off series coming out soon about Alexia's daughter.
