Imprudence cover

From New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger comes the stunning sequel to Prudence. Rue and the crew of the Spotted Custard return from India with revelations that shake the foundations of England's scientific community. Queen Victoria is not amused, the vampires are tetchy, and something is wrong with the local werewolf pack. To top it all off, Rue's best friend Primrose keeps getting engaged to the most unacceptable military types. Rue has family problems as well. Her vampire father is angry, her werewolf father is crazy, and her obstreperous mother is both. Worst of all, Rue's beginning to suspect that what they really are ...is frightened.

Feisty Rue will have you hooked on her and her bizarre world

It's easy to get swept along with the world Carriger has created, as her love of the genre is obvious and infectious . . . great fun

Delicious rapier wit that recalls Austen and P. G. Wodehouse

Carriger debuts brilliantly with a blend of Victorian romance, screwball comedy of manners and alternate history
