Historical/ Paranormal/ Steampunk? Romance by Gail Carriger. Alexia is a 26 year old spinster, in an alternate Victorian England. She is part Italian, intelligent, no classic beauty, and "soulless." Her soulless state nullifies the skills of paranormals: weres, vampires, ghosts. She has an ongoing personality conflict with the local Alpha, Lord Maccon who also serves as the Head of the local investigator of paranormal abnormalities. Lord Maccon doesn't mind that Alexia is a spinster, or that she's no classic beauty. He loves her intelligence, quick wit, and her curves! I've read lots of paranormals, but this one is an original, just like Alexia. Our Heroine finds herself in the middle of an investigation, much to Lord Maccon's dismay. Love Alexia, Connall, and their whole crew. Fun book, and worth a credit.
