Rue and the crew of The Spotted Custard returned from India with revelations that shook the foundations of the scientific community. There is mass political upheaval, the vampires are tetchy, and something is seriously wrong with the local werewolf pack. To top it all off, Rue’s best friend Primrose keeps getting engaged to the most inappropriate military types.
Rue has got personal 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 what they all really are… is frightened.
When the Custard is ordered to Egypt, transporting some highly unusual passengers, Rue’s problems go from personal to impossible. Can she get Percy to stop sulking? Will she find the true cause of Primrose’s lovesickness? And what is Quesnel hiding in the boiler room?
Even though i pre ordered this book, i wasn't sure i even wanted to read it, because i really didn't like the first book in this series i couldn't get into it and didn't really understand what was going on but i decided for my love of the Parasol Protectorate series i would carry on with this series and i am so glad that i did because it definitely got better than the first book.
Imprudence had so much drama and action in it, and also a lot of love and tender family moments. The characters have come a long way since the first book they are more rounded and have been written better than before. Every character brought something to this book be an antagonist, a love interest, or a rival i finished this book in a couple of hours once i started reading i couldn't put it down.
We go back to Egypt in this book the last time we were in Egypt was the last book in the Parasol Protectorate series and it was good to be back there was also some old faces, and some old enemies as well. There was so much packed into this tiny little book, and there was a lot of drama and craziness and one very awkward talk about sex between Alexia and Rue.
The characters were as per usual were brilliantly written and they all added something to the book and it was good to have Lord Maccon and Alexia back in the series and the see the relationship between Rue and Quesnel grow as well.
I am so glad this book was better than the first because if it wasn't i would not carry on with this series but now i need the next book now and i hope it will be even better than this book.
Until Next Time
Happy Reading
