The Gardella Vampire Chronicles is a series of historical romance fantasy novels by the American writer Colleen Gleason about a family of vampire hunters who have lived throughout the ages, hunting the undead. The first five novels in the series chronicle the story of Victoria Gardella Grantworth, a young woman living in 1820s Regency era England as she struggles to maintain a normal life among London’s haute ton Society and her nightly duties of hunting and killing vampires. Gleason has recently continued the series in a spin-off, featuring Macey Gardella, a descendant of Victoria Gardella Grantworth. The first book in the series is Roaring Midnight and is set in Chicago in the Roaring Twenties. Additionally, Gleason gives a nod to the Gardella Vampire Chronicles in her steampunk series for young adults, Stoker and Holmes. One of the characters (Miss Stoker) is a descendant of Victoria Gardella, as well as being the sister of Bram Stoker. Source: Wikipedia (en)
