Alexia Tarabotti is a 25-year-old spinster in Victorian London. She also has no soul; her father is Italian and dead; and she was attacked by a vampire in the library during a social event. As if that were not bad enough, she finds herself working with the disturbingly handsome werewolf, Lord Conall Maccon, to determine who is creating vampires outside of vampire hive rules.
This is a witty blend of the supernatural, steampunk, alternative history and romance. Alexia’s spirit is engaging, and the clever plot will keep readers enthralled. Happily, Soulless is the first in a series of Alexia Tarabotti mysteries, which appear under the name of The Parasol Protectorate.
