    Victorian romance mixes seamlessly with elegant prose and biting wit—and werewolves—in Gail Carriger’s delightful debut novel. Soulless introduces Alexia Tarabotti, a parasol-wielding Londoner getting dangerously close to spinster status. But there are more important things than finding a husband. For Alexia was born without a soul, giving her the ability to render any vampire or werewolf completely powerless.

    I couldn't stop listening! This book was fantastic - I really hope that Audible picks up the rest of the series! (hint, hint)

    Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library.

    I cannot rave enough about this book! This is such a nice respite from all of the YA fantasy! Jennifer Ikeda is fantastic! She can switch between several different accents flawlessly - you know exactly which character is talking before she gets two words out! My only problem is I don't know how I'm going to be able to survive until the next book comes out :) Definitely pick this book up, guys - you won't regret it!!

    When 15-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing, not even a smear of blood, to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

    Story

    This book was hard to get in to for me. The narration is horrible - she's very "valley girl" and doesn't vary her voice for the individual characters. The story is choppy and I found myself drifting along other trains of thought as I was listening to this audiobook. Overall I would not recommend this book to anyone, young or old.
