Soulless: Alexia Tarabotti has three strikes against her: She's a spinster. She does not suffer fools gladly. And she lacks a soul. So when a vampire rudely goes for her neck, and she accidentally dispatches him with her ability to nullify supernatural powers (and her trusty parasol), Alexia herself looks suspect. Especially when new vampires start turning up on London's streets-and known ones mysteriously go missing. Changeless: When her new husband-a brash werewolf investigator-disappears, Alexia must deal with supernatural soldiers, exorcised ghosts, an angry Queen Victoria and werewolf pack dynamics! Blameless: After Alexia is attacked by vicious, mechanical ladybugs, it seems the vampires want her dead. The inscrutable Italian Templars might explain her troubles...but they may be worse than the vampires!
