Sans coeur (Le Protectorat de l'Ombrelle, #4)

Alexia Tarabotti, now Lady Maccon, awakens in the wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, yelling at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears - leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts, and an angry Queen Victoria.
But Alexia is armed with her trusty parasol, the latest fashions and an arsenal of biting civility. Even when her investigations take her into the backwaters of ugly waistcoats, Scotland, she is prepared: upending werewolf pack dynamics as only A soulless can. 
She might even find time to track down her wayward husband, if she feels like it.
***Also available as a manga adaptation***

Changeless

From the comedic mind of New York Times bestseller Gail Carriger comes the much requested prequel short story to Soulless. Alexia Tarabotti attends what appears to be a very dull London party, until the new werewolf Alpha turns up, is unconscionably rude to her, and sits on a hedgehog. Don't miss this charming novelette featuring the very first encounter between the Parasolverse's most popular power couple, preternatural Alexia and supernatural Lord Conall Maccon. Look out for cheeky appearances from other much beloved characters, not to mention the strategic application of a certain wicker chicken."This intoxicatingly witty parody will appeal to a wide cross-section of romance, fantasy and steampunk fans." ~ Publishers Weekly, starred review (Soulless)Alexia has been described as Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Jane Austen!A Note On Chronology Set in the spring of 1872 this story occurs just prior to events chronicled in The Parasol Protectorate series (featuring Alexia and Conall) and after those in Defy or Defend. Alexia also appears briefly in Romancing the Inventor, and Conall and England's most scandalous wolf pack are referenced in The Finishing School series.

Meat Cute: The Hedgehog Incident - Parasol Protectorate, #0

Lady Alexia Maccon a de nouveau des problèmes.Sauf que cette fois, elle n’y est vraiment pour rien. Un fantôme fou menace la reine ! Alexia mène l’enquête… jusque dans le passé de son époux. Pendant ce temps, sa soeur rejoint le mouvement des suffragettes, Madame Lefoux met au point sa dernière invention mécanique et des porcs-épics zombies envahissent Londres, le tout une nuit de pleine lune.Alexia découvrira-t-elle qui tente d’assassiner la reine Victoria avant qu’il ne soit trop tard ? Loups-garous et vampires verront-ils le soleil se lever ? Et qui ou quoi, exactement, a élu résidence dans le deuxième dressing préféré de Lord Akeldama ?

Angleterre, début du XIXe siècle. Sophronia, 14 ans, est un défi permanent pour sa mère : elle préfère démonter les horloges et grimper aux arbres plutôt qu'apprendre les bonnes manières ! Mme Temminnick désespère que sa fille devienne jamais une parfaite lady, aussi l’inscrit-elle au Pensionnat de Mlle Géraldine qui s’attache au perfectionnement des jeunes dames de qualité. Très vite, Sophronia comprend que cette école ne correspond pas exactement à l’idée que sa mère s’en faisait. Certes, les jeunes filles y apprennent l'art de la danse, celui de se vêtir et l'étiquette, mais elles font aussi l’apprentissage de la diversion, de l'espionnage et de l’acte de donner la mort – tout cela de la manière la plus civilisée possible, bien sûr. C’est une chose d’apprendre à faire une révérence comme il faut, c’en est une autre d’apprendre à la faire en lançant un couteau…

Etiquette & Espionnage (Finishing School, #1)

Miss Alexia Tarabotti est devenue Lady Alexia Woolsey. Un jour qu’elle se réveille de sa sieste, s’attendant à trouver son époux gentiment endormi à ses côtés comme tout loup-garou qui se respecte, elle le découvre hurlant à s’en faire exploser les poumons. Puis il disparaît sans explication... laissant Alexia seule, aux prises avec un régiment de soldats non-humains, une pléthore de fantômes exorcisés, et une reine Victoria qui n’est point amusée du tout. Mais Alexia est toujours armée de sa fidèle ombrelle et des dernières tendances de la mode, sans oublier un arsenal de civilités cinglantes. Et même quand ses investigations pour retrouver son incontrôlable mari la conduisent en Ecosse, le repaire des gilets les plus laids du monde, elle est prête !
