Changeless by Gail Carriger

Alexia Maccoon, the Lady Woolsey, is a newlywed and soulless. Born without a soul, but not all the other emotions that make one human, Alexia is a preternatural. When she touches one of the supernatural, they become mortal until she removes her touch. Alexia is married to the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, and she also holds rank in the Shadow Council, a council of supernatural beings who monitor the comings and goings of the paranormal beings in the area.



When a rare occurrence takes place, Alexia is the first person under scrutiny. For some reason, in a local area, whenever a supernatural being or ghost made an appearance, they were exorcized or made mortal. This happened for hours, and after such time had passed, the supernatural beings regained their immortality, but the ghosts never reappeared.

Not long after Alexia has this conversation with her husband, he disappears for Scotland without letting her know. He also doesn't explain to her about the camp of werewolf soldiers on her front lawn. Alexia is determined to get to the bottom of it and clear her name, so she and an assortment of friends and family make haste to Scotland.
Set in the Victorian age, CHANGELESS is witty, suspenseful, and phenomenal. Alexia is a superb character who is charming, yet firm in her beliefs and her parasol will knock anyone out of her way. Clearly, a new genre has been born; part steampunk, romance, mystery, fantasy, and paranormal - CHANGELESS is sure to please many.
