With action, intrigue, and above all, proper manners, this excellent series will have broad appeal to readers of steampunk, urban fantasy, and paranormal and historical romance. on ChangelessĬarriger delivers surprises with every book, and this one is no exception. io9.com on SoullessĬarriger has created a wonderfully detailed world that is just one step to the side of our own. "Soulless is a character-driven romp with great worldbuilding and delicious rapier wit that recalls Austen and P.G. The concept of a "soulless one" having a child is super interesting and well thought out in this world that also includes vampires, werewolves and Victorian values. As with the other books, this one moves the characters forward adding one major component, a child. They are so good! Heartless goes along with the other Parasol Protectorate books and infuses the characters with heart and humor and fascination. Will Alexia manage to determine who is trying to kill Queen Victoria before it’s too late? Is it the vampires again, or is there a traitor lurking about in wolf’s clothing? And what has taken up residence in Lord Akeldama’s second best closet? Top that off with a sister who has joined the suffragette movement, Madame Lefoux’s latest mechanical invention, and a plague of zombie porcupines-and Alexia barely has time to remember she is eight months pregnant.

When a mad ghost threatens the queen, Alexia is on the case, following a trail that leads her deep into her husband’s past. The soulless Lady Alexia Maccon is at it again-only this time the trouble is not her fault.
