I am so excited about Gail Carriger's upcoming novel, Soulless! It is the first in the Parasol Protectorate series! Changeless, the second book in the series, is due out in April 2010!
Summary from Gail's website:
"Alexia Tarabotti is laboring 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 is being rudely attacked by a vampire to whom she has not been properly introduced!
Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire, and 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? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?"
Isn't it obvious why I am pumped about this book?!? I have daydreams about it... :)
Mmm. I love books about vampires! I've had this on my to-read list as well. Can't wait for it to come out!
ReplyDeleteOoh sounds like a quirky vampire/werewolf novel. Very interesting. Great pick!
