Book description
Alexia Tarabotti is labouring under a great many social tribulations.
First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both
Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking
all standards of social etiquette. Where to go from there? 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. With unexpected vampires appearing and
expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia
responsible. 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? Finally, who is the real enemy,
and do they have treacle tart? SOULLESS is a comedy of manners set in
Victorian London: full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and
tea-drinking.
