Soulless
A steampunk that combines steampunk, paranormal mystery, comedy, and romance – a new twist on the genre. Soulless, like the title suggests, follows the story of Miss Alexia Tarabotti, a headstrong young woman who has no soul – and no suitor to match. I’ve included this entry on the list because it’s an eclectic blending of genres and subgenres that don’t normally combine; during the course of the story you’ll encounter air ships, werewolves, vampires, and a woman’s witty take on the way fashion should be. Set in a charming Victorian London and featuring a funny cast of eclectic characters, this novel is a strange but tasty brew. Fans of some light-hearted steampunk who don’t mind seeing paranormal and romance mixed in should love this. Hardcore, serious steampunk fans might not, however.
