I do not want to give anything away so i will just tell you to go ahead and read it.
Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir)
This book introduces everyone to all of the main characters that will be part of the future books. The Main Character for all the books is Alexia Tarabotti. She is living in Victorian times where vampires and werewolves are part of the society. The vampires for example set the fashion for the English society, while the werewolves help with the protection. Alexia is a completely different type of supernatural. She is called Soulless (hence the name of the book) which means that she can transform both vampires and werewolves back to humans when she touches them. This means she can kill them if she wanted to. She is an interesting character who is very direct which is why she has gotten the attention of the werewolf Alpha. The two of them flirt back and forth while trying figure out where all the rogue vampires are coming from.
There is only one spoiler I will give on this book from the last so stop now if you want to wait to read the first book but it is a simple one and it is obvious. She Married the Alpha Werewolf. Also if it not obvious that she figured out the problem from that last because there is a second book then i do not know what you are expecting in the second book. I will not say anymore about the last book so as not to spoil anymore of it.
The book I read was The Avenger by P.C. Cast which is a favorite author of mine. This is the 3rd book in the series but they do stand alone. The only one that will not stand alone will be the last book since it will be using all the pieces from the other books. The book starts with a lady named Alex who can see ghosts and hats it. It has made her life miserable and she has found a place where not many ghosts go and does not want to leave. She also used to be in the army. The Government has asked her to come back and help them with one more mission. The mission is to travel back in time to 60 AD and to locate a important piece that will help the future earth against an alien race that has decided they do not like the human race and plans on destroying it. Of course when she gets there she falls madly in love with the Druid who helps her.
