The Delightfully Deadly series is my favorite of Carriger’s series. While Carriger’s writing style is always witty, the voice of her characters come through most clearly in this series. Preshea’s caution, calculation, and cynicism temper Poison Or Protect’s wit and humor; which creates a very different mood from Dimity’s sparkling and playful story in the second book of the series.

Gail Carriger give us lots of steamy fun when an assassin/intelligencer trained in a famous floating finishing school meets a large Scotsman who only wants to please her.

Ms. Carriger does it again. This is another rich mixture of the absurd, the comic and the suspenseful. The characters, despite their fantastical dimensions, hold our attention with their core humanity. Romance, without the bodice ripping, can remind the reader that the 'novel' began as a venue for exploring the emotional realm of life. Wry humor is a big part of surviving. Read this book. It's a joy.

This short and sweet romance novella was my cup of tea. It has great characters that you will love. The romance in the book was very well written. A must read and be read stand alone without reading any of Gail's other book. Highly recommended to romance readers.

As always, I loved Ms. Carriger's work. Can't wait for more!

When I saw that this novella was going to be about Preshea, I’ll admit I was a little bit skeptical. I am happy to say that I was proven wrong. It was great to see another side to her character, and of course the story was as funny, surprising, and exciting as everything else I’ve read by Carriger!

I love Gail Carriger's books and I'm always excited to read her new ones. I expected nothing less of her. It was a really good book and I loved it!

Ms. Carriger has delivered to us another fantastic romp through her steampunk fantasy universe and I could not more pleased for a ride in her dirigible. Preshea is beautiful, complex, and tortured and her Scotsman - oh my. Just what the doctor ordered. Clear your evening, brew a pot of tea and nestle down with the first of what is sure to be a fantastic sojourn of novellas.

This one doesn't require previous knowledge of the Parasolverse, so it's a good entry point. Presha was never a favorite character of mine, but this story brought her into a much more sympathetic light. It is a romance, the sex scenes are neither too long not too brief, imho, and balance well with the rest of the story.

Following the villainess we love to hate--or at least critique--from the Finishing School series (not required reading to enjoy the this latest) Carriger takes us on an exciting jaunt through the English countryside. Vampires, werewolves, subterfuge, attractive Scotsmen, and tiny tea sandwiches, what more could one want? "Delightfully Deadly" way to spend an afternoon, can't wait for more of these little gems!
