Parlormaid seeks scientist! From New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger comes a delightful lesbian Victorian romance featuring a maid bent on seducing an imprisoned cross-dressing inventor. FEATHER DUSTERImogene Hale is a lowly parlormaid with a soul-crushing secret. Desperate to understand her own desires, she takes work at a local vampire hive, only to fall in love with the amazing lady inventor the vampires have imprisoned in their potting shed.LEATHER GOGGLESGenevieve Lefoux is lonely, brilliant, and French. Obsessed with her cogs and devices she refuses to risk her heart. With culture, class, and the scientist herself set against the match, can Imogene and her duster win Genevieve's love, or will the vampires suck both of them dry?"Carriger excels at wry humor and clever phrasing, and her ensemble cast is thoroughly charming and satisfyingly diverse. There's a genuine sense of whimsy and fun running throughout this story, making it a treat for fans of the series." ~ Publishers Weekly (Competence)Set in Carriger's popular steampunk Parasolverse, this story is full of class prejudice, elusive equations, and paranormal creatures taking tea. Perfect for those who enjoy Jenny Frame or Sarah Waters only bonus light-hearted urban fantasy. If Jane Austen dated Gentlemen Jack this charming stand-alone romance would be it.Supernatural Society stories can be read in any order, but if you're a stickler, this book falls in between the Parasol Protectorate series and the Custard Protocol series. Want more Sapphic ladies from Gail? Try Competence. Meet Imogene and Genevieve again in Reticence.Delicate Sensibilities? This story contains women pleasing women and ladies who know what they want and pursue it, sometimes in exquisite detail.

Adorable. :) ( )

Kind of a long, drawn out romance. I would have liked to see some of Genevieve's inventions in action rather than just talking about them, but Carriger's goal here was to focus on the relationship and Imogene's determination to finally get the girl of her dreams.

I like the wolves. The vampires, however, are detestable. ( )

Thank you, Gail Carriger, for novellas about your side characters -- did I say that in my last review? I think I did, but holy cats! This one is beautiful and hot and lovely. Let's hear it for lesbian steampunk almost erotica, and for a writer who's pen is as seductive as it is possible to be. ( )

YES. GOOD. More Victorian lesbians please, especially in the steampunk/supernatural genre. I absolutely adored this romance, the weaving subplots, and the return to this world. The pack's presence is so over the top, but so right and so satisfying. Carriger manages to get so much of the characters' personalities in with just a few words. Alexia is a force even as a side character, and every single second is pure joy. And Channing being NICE?!?! I was just as floored as Genevieve. Good on you for getting that side of him, Imogene. ( )
