The Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger

To read the official synopsis for each book click on their titles: Soulless, Changeless, Blameless, Heartless and Timeless. 

This is a five book steampunk Victorian urban fantasy.

We follow our protagonist Alexia Tarabotti a 26 year old spinster who has the ability to take the supernatural powers from the werewolves and vampires and the ability to exorcise ghost.

We follow her throughout this series as she falls in love, gets married, gets attack by vampire clans, trying to stop dastardly plans and all while trying to understand her abilities.

I absolutely love this author and her writing. This series was so funny and filled with memorable characters. Even though this series was written first, I do recommend starting with the Finishing School series. It seems like all of the author’s works take place in the same universe, but since each series takes place at different times we do see fan favorite characters make references to one another and cameo appearances.

This series was so funny and I absolutely loved the romance between Alexia and Conall. There were so many great friendships and storylines. 

Overall I give this series a B+
