Perhaps it's the adventure format with dashing across Europe giving REM ample opportunity to exercise her mad landscape and steampunk skills. Perhaps it's because Madame Lefoux gets so much screen time. Only they know enough about the preternatural to explain her increasingly inconvenient condition, but they may be worse than the vampires - and they’re armed with pesto.I think this one may be the best. To top it all off, Alexia is attacked by homicidal mechanical ladybugs, indicating, as only ladybugs can, the fact that all of London’s vampires are now very much interested in seeing Alexia quite thoroughly dead.While Lord Maccon elects to get progressively more inebriated and Professor Lyall desperately tries to hold the Woolsey werewolf pack together, Alexia flees England for Italy in search of the mysterious Templars. Queen Victoria dismisses her from the Shadow Council, and the only person who can explain anything, Lord Akeldama, unexpectedly leaves town. Quitting her husband’s house and moving back in with her horrible family, Lady Maccon becomes the scandal of the London season. Can she root out the cause of this phenomenon, which smacks of some larger plot at work?Ĭoming November 2013 | ISBN: 978-3-4 | $12.99 ($13.99) | 240 pages | 5.75”x 8.25″ | Older Teen But when stories of supernaturals rendered normal by some unknown force begin cropping up, Alexia has a rather serious mystery on her hands. Whether it is a regiment of supernatural soldiers camped out on her front lawn or the demands of being the Queen’s “muhjah,” there never seems to be a want of new hurdles to overcome. Settling into her new life as the Lady Woolsey, Alexia finds her days quite challenging. Miss Alexia Tarabotti has this unique distinction, and when she is assailed at a formal gathering by a rove vampire, an encounter that results in the death of the half-starved creature, her circumstances become exponentially more complicated indeed! Now caught up in an intrigue with life or death stakes, Alexia must rely on all her talents to outmatch the forces conspiring against her, but it may be the man who has caught her eye - Lord Conall Maccon - and their budding flirtation that truly drives her to her wit’s end! The life of a spinster in Victorian London isn’t an easy one on the best of days, but such a life becomes infinitely more complicated when said spinster is “soulless” - a preternatural bridging the gap between the natural and supernatural worlds.

With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible, given her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers. Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate the incident, and he is none too happy to see Alexia at the scene. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, a terrible breach of social etiquette. Second, she’s a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead.
