Alexia Tarabotti is a spinster leaving in a supernatural-filled stemapunk regency-era London and has a lot to deal with with chaperoning her younger sisters places, as well as being what is known as a pretenatural. Basically, Alexia has no soul and when she touches a supernatural being she can revert them back to their human form. After some strange events, Alexia ends up working with the BUR agency and the handsome werewolf alpha Lord Maccon to figure out some supernatural disappearances.

I really enjoyed this book. We instantly fell into Alexia's world and got a really good look at what kind of character she was. Feisty yet an utter lady - what's not to love! It took me a while to get used to the way Gail Carriger really got into detail with everything from Alexia's dresses to the vampire's stately home but I did enjoy it. I won't lie, my favourite part of this book was the bubbling chemistry between Maccon and Alexia. It was just so delicious and enjoyable from the way she learned unknown things about the male body to them just giving in to the urges. I just wanted them to fall into bed together from the very first moment they had any kind of interaction. There was some moments in the book where I felt the blossoming relationship seemed to overtake the actual plot of the story - which was the missing roves - and the reader could almost forget it as well with the way their relationship was so addicting and all-consuming. I really liked the end result and how everything came to a head eventually. I can't wait for more adventures with Alexia.
