The Parasol Protectorate, book 1
"Please, Lord Maccon, use one of the cups. My delicate sensibilities." The earl actually snorted. "My dear Miss Tarabotti, if you possessed any such things, you certainly have never shown them to me."
Synopsis:
Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette.
Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire -- and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate.
With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?

Soulless was so funny! One of the best historicals I've ever read. I don't usually like third person omniscient, but this one was really good :) Just wait for the second, it's quite scandalous...
