Soulless parasol protectorate1/5/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() There were certainly comments that had me chuckling a little when I read them. While this isn't overly unique, it was spun in a way that made it interesting to read while not feeling as if I had read this type of book 100 times before. She can turn a vampire human enough to go out during the day, and calm down a werewolf. The general in-a-nutshell plot element is that Alexia is a rare 'supernatural' individual who can actually neutralize the effects of the supernatural. I'm not sure if it was the fairly unique plot (note I said fairly unique, not extremely unique), or the witty dialogue, but whatever it was I was glued to the book and kept wanting to read it. Alexia accidently kills the vampire before she can understand why she was attacked, or what/who is leading these rouge vampires. This vampire doesn't seem to understand the complicated code of etiquette that is set forth. The main character, Alexia Tarabotti is attacked by a vampire at a social gathering. Pretty much from the get-go Soulless is filled with action and adventure. Just the setting of England would have caught my interest, but there was just something about this series that kept calling me and I'm extremely glad I tried it out because I enjoyed every minute of it.

Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?įORMAT: Soulless is the first book in the Parasol Protectorate series. With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. 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. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead.
