Changeless, sequal to Soulless...

These are the beginning of a beautiful relationship...

Soulless is the first book, set in very Victorian England and a spinster who happens to be missing a soul is like the kryptonite to supernaturals - werewolves loose their hair and vampire fangs go dull. A very unique spin on the fantasy world, plus the quaint quirks of society at that time add a lot of humor, too.

The second book Changeless is even more fun, I think, with new characters and a surprise ending that made me bite the book I was so peeved (but mostly in a good way). Have to wait till Sept to see what happens.

I've never read any "Gaslight" type fiction, and these may have set the bar sort of high for that genre. The author's done her homework on dress and custom, too. I also like series with strong feminine roles (that parasol is silver tipped and she'll whack it at any deserving head).
