Finishing School: Book the Fourth: Manners & Mutiny by Gail Carriger
Several months after the events in book three find Sophronia and her friends, most of them anyway, back at Mademoiselle Geraldine's. It is Christmas break, and Sophronia spends some time in London with her newly married sister. Agatha and Dimity join her. They have a grand time shopping, and even have dinner with a vampire who wants Sophronia to work for him after she completes finishing school. The person she has agreed to work for is there as well, and they are trying to thwart the Pickelmen and their dastardly plans. To do this, Sophronia is to work herself back into Felix's good graces, which tends to be harder than she anticipated.
Soap is more in love with Sophronia than ever, and although she cares for him, he can't or won't take the hint when she tries to tell him why it can never be. He still tries to win her over though.
At the New Year tea, Mademoiselle Geraldine's is attacked and overtaken by Flywaymen and Pickelmen. The school is evacuated, but Sophronia goes back because she wants to make sure the sooties are ok. Once there, she's one woman for herself trying to defeat the Pickelmen.
Will she succeed? Will she succumb to Soap's wishes? You know I'm not going to answer those! Read the books!!
