“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.

Hello everyone, as I said on my update and favorites post I’m sorry I’ve been absent lately. Because of that, I’m not going to do a monthly wrap up, but a middle of the year wrap up. I can’t believe we have already hit the middle of the year, but here we are and I’m four books behind in my goodreads challenge, which is more or less like a month. It isn’t much considering how little time I have had to read, as well as many other things, and considering there were two months in which I didn’t finished one book. We start with January, the best month reading wise I’ve had in years, I completed a total of 8 books in addition to a novella and a graphic novel. Not only that, I also highly enjoyed most books I read during that month “Captivated by You” by Sylvia Day. The last book published in the Crossfire series, really liked it, and I can’t wait for the next book which I think might be the last. (4/5) “Conociendo a Raul” by Blue Jeans. The novella I read, prequel to “El Club de

Pages: 188 Publisher: Puffin Format: Digital (Kindle) Time to read it: 5 days Language: English Rating: 4/5 “Strife is the ninth book in the “Wicca/Sweep” series, a series that follows Morgan as she finds out about the existence of magik and her relationship with it. She discovers a new part of her life that threatens with run over everything else. Weird things start happening and the only one that can be blame is Morgan who is uninitiated, since now Ciaran is on the run, and Selene and Cal dead. Hunter brings someone to help her out but her solution to things kinds of goes to extreme. Also, Alisa leaves the coven, since all the things happening scared her off. “Strife” was a good book in the series but it got me lost a little bit. They introduced Alisa’s point of view which kinds of puts me off a little bit and all in all it was a little tedious
