Alexia Macon neé Parabotti is on her way to Italy after personal circumstances call for a little bit of investigating, and she needs some time away from her infuriating husband. Armed with the ever faithful Floote, and the whipsmart Madam LeFoux, the trio obviously end up in some life and (non) death situations with supernatural creatures, as always happens when Alexia tries to do everything.

It's been a few years since I picked up this series, and I was really happy to realise that I was able to fall back into this story, and remember the quirkiness and loveability of the characters easily. The story was paced really well, and it was just a whole load of fun and vampire trouble!

I can't wait to read the next book!
