Soulless/Gail Carriger

Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate, book 1), by Gail Carriger; 384 pages

It took me a chapter to get used to Carriger's writing style, but once I did, I had a lot of fun with this book. I've heard it described as Pride and Prejudice meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and that's pretty accurate. The snarky shots the characters take at each other had me snickering, and the action and romance kept things moving along at a brisk pace. The setting was also great--19th century London, where werewolves and vampires have been integrated into society. I really wish this had been longer (or, alternately, that the third book in this series was out).
