“Soulless” is the first book in “The parasol protectorate” a series ofbooks I have been eying for the longest time and I finally got to start. GailCarriger a famous author known for her steampunk series set in Victorian timeswrote the series.

Alexia Tarabotti is a spinster in Victorian England. Her lack of soul,which she inherited from her Italian father, has never been a problem until shefinds herself in the middle of an OPA investigation. Lord Macon the alpha of London’s werewolves,is there to ensure the safety of the relationship between Vampires, Werewolvesand preternatural. Alexia has neverliked Lord Macon but being saved by him on multiple occasions might change heropinion.

“Soulless” was a really good book. Ihave to admit I was hard for me at first to get into the book; the world isquite interesting and different from anything I have read before, since it isthe first steampunk book I read. The fact that this world from which I have notread before is mixed with this society in which Vampires and Werewolves areaccepted somehow into the society was shocking. In most of the books I haveread the supernatural creatures are always apart from humans, people do notknow about them and if they know most likely fear them. Here we have a world inwhich they coexist without really making an impact in the society.

All this together with the Victoriantimes makes the book much more interesting and compelling. Once I got into thebook I could not stop reading.

All in all, “Soulless” was a fantastic starting point to a series Iwould definitely be finishing soon. I really recommend it to any supernaturallovers.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones.

Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
