Alexia’s pregnancy has become the new scandal in London. Lord Maccon throw her out of his place and now he does not know how to deal with it, therefore he takes refuge in drinking. Meanwhile Alexia as always cannot stay put and decided to know more about herself and the baby growing inside her, even if she has to talk to the ones that hate creatures like her the most, Templars.

Blameless was a bit of a disappointment, especially after loving the first two books. One of the things I enjoyed the most on the other books were the interactions between Alexia and Lord Maccon, however he was a disappointment during this book. I really thought he was being stupid for not believing in Alexia, and then trying to forget things by drinking. Apart from that the fact that a pregnant woman have all those adventures, traveling around and even fighting seems a little unbelievable. I do not think a pregnant woman is unable to move, however I do not think a baby in that time period would have survived that many adventures.

To sum up, Blameless was a good book; nonetheless it did not live up to my expectations and although I think I will finish this series I have decided to stop just for now.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
