This is the second book in a fun and unusual series that my mother-in-law suggested to me. Alexia is a preternatural, meaning she has no soul and negates supernatural creatures, i.e, with her touch she restores the mortality of vampires and werewolves. But it seems that someone or something else has the same ability, but thrown over a much larger area and lasting longer. Alexia must track down whatever this is before it falls into the wrong hands as a weapon. Throw in a missing werewolf husband, a way too friendly French hatmaker and inventor, and a Queen Victoria expecting results and it might almost be too much for Alexia to handle, even with her handy parasol.
This is Regency meets paranormal with a heavy dash of steampunk thrown in. This is one of the most original books I've read in a long time, with lots of humor and intrigue. As soon as I finished this book I immediately started the next one.
