I was absolutely amazed at this book. I've had it for awhile and just couldn't force myself to pick it up. Now I'm upset that it took me so long. What a fabulous story!

Lord Maccon is a hot sexy alpha werewolf. Alexia Tarabotti is an English spinster of a decidedly different caliber than your average simpering female. Oh and she is soulless which enables her to neutralize supernatural abilities. I was hooked from the first chapter when Alexia accidentally killed a vampire with a combination of a hair pin and a gaudy brass parasol. Enter Lord Maccon, head of the BUR (Bureau of Unnatural Registry) investigating what happened to this unregistered vampire and where exactly he came from. Lord Maccon and Alexia obviously had previous encounters because the animosity was instant yet humorous. Lord Maccon caused Alexia to have illicit primal monkey thoughts. (hmmm wonder what that means...)

I liked the way vampire society was likened to a bee hive with a queen and drones. The supernaturals are out in society but they are very few in numbers since new members haven't been created in years. An interesting approach. I loved the conversations between Alexia and her BFF Ivy. They had a decidedly male flavor of insulting each other but with a humorous twist. Again not typical of society females who usually are lacking in a sense of humor. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised at this debut novel and can't wait to get my hands on [book:Changeless|6933876].
