I adore this author, I started with her finishing school series and followed the books chronologically. The dialogue reminds me of my favorite TV shows, witty and fast paced, which serves to emphasize when there's a dark moment that needs to be focused on.
Funny and heart warming in all the right places and introduction to my absolute favorite Vampire.

Alexia Tarabotti is a fantastically capable heroine and the mystery of learning more about the supernatural and preternatural communities in London society was a hilarious romp with Gail's signature steampunk flair. And the narrator for the audiobooks did a fantastic job distinguishing characters with delightful voice acting. I look forward to picking up future installments in the series!

I was told there was a lot of spice in this book, and while the spice was missing in action save for two instances of making out, a single, incomplete handy, and then sex - once - at the end (that was only partially included!), I did very much like this story over all. It was funny, and I felt the flirtation was suitably Victorian in its reserved nature. After all, as Ms. Tarabotti indicates, it's quite scandalous in Victorian England to be caught showing ankles in public, so it makes sense for a young spinster to keep mostly to herself, except for her penchant for winning arguments all the time. This one is a funny, soft enemies to lovers romance, with a fun mystery to solve as well.
