Alexia Tarabotti faces social challenges for being soulless, a spinster, and attacked by a vampire. After accidentally killing the vampire, Lord Maccon, a Scottish alpha werewolf, is sent to investigate. With mysterious vampires appearing and Alexia being blamed, can she unravel London’s supernatural chaos using her unique abilities? And why does handsome Lord Maccon keep getting in her way?!
Parasol Protectorate is a hysterical comedy of manners. The core romance between the curvy preternatural Alexia and alpha werewolf Lord Maccon (all wrapped up in a victorian steampunk setting) is pure cozy comedy. Each book explores a new mystery with vampires, werewolves, and of course, Alexia always at its center. The oddball cast of characters makes this series an absolute hoot!
