Soulless and other casualities

www.amazon.de
I am a great fan of Gail Carrigers "Parasol Protectorate" - Series. If you like a little bit of a Steampunk-ish romance, with a strong heroine, vampires, werewolves and lots of humor, than you have to read her books. The first one to start is "Soulless" and that is what it is about: Alexia Tarabotti has no soul and she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. At an evening invitation she was rudely attacked by a vampire. From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire - and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate. Now can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Or will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? This story has everything: unique characters and a twisted plot with a great choice of place and time and humor. The second book is called "Changeless" followed by "Blameless" and "Heartless" the 4th and last book will be releast in  march 2012.
