The Curious Case of the Whispering Corpse - Rebecca Gage - Bog

Lady Charlotte Astley is burdened with more things than London's best monster should be-solving supernatural crimes and being a proper lady.

First, she must make the streets of London safe for everyone-humans and supernaturals alike. Second, Charlotte is unmarried and has no prospects-a capital offense according to the upper crust. Social niceties don't simply vanish because vampires and werewolves appear in London and integrate into society; Charlotte's top priority should be marrying a nice human boy-at least according to her aunt. Never mind that her best friend, Lord Cosmo Wilmott (devilishly charming, mischievous, wildly handsome, and a vampire), is hoping Charlotte would be willing to defy society and convention for him.

When supernatural corpses begin appearing in Spitalfields alleyways, all whispering a single word and drained of their souls, even Charlotte is perplexed. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's supernatural society? Will her monster-hunting and sleuthing abilities find this soul-eater, or will London explode into a second civil war? Finally, who is behind these soulless corpses, and do they have any raspberry scones?

For fans of The Parasol Protectorate, this is a Supernatural meets X-Men with a female Sherlock. A friends-to-lovers, slow burn, low-spice, semi-oblivious, sunshine x grump (mild), steampunk fantasy, vampire romance.
