Introduction
The Spotted Custard has returned from their adventure in India. Queen Victoria is, understandably, miffed with Rue. Dama is, also understandably, upset with her. The London werewolf pack is falling apart and something must be done about her father. Prim keeps getting engaged. Further, Rue's birthday means that she has come of age and has lost protection as a metanatural. To top it all off, Percy and Quesnel begin fighting over academic impoliteness, but the squabble unknowingly put the werecats in jepordy. To put it mildly, things could be going better for Rue.
The Spotted Custard and crew goes off to warn the werecats. They are pursued by an unknown group, and Rue suspects it has something to do with a mysterious piece of equipment Quesnel has in the boiler room.
Romance
As Alexia puts it, her daughter is "progressive". She takes "French lessons" from Quesnel, if you know what that means. You know what I could have done without? All those French lessons. It was awkward listening to "first time" experiences in detail, over and over again. That's really my only criticism of the whole book. I just felt yucky listening to it, and if I wasn't gardening, I would have skipped those portions.
Final Verdict
Perfectly fine fare, if you are alright with detailed passages about first sexual experiences.
