Synopsis

Alexia Tarabotti is labouring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette.
Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire - and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate.
With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Or will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?
SOULLESS is a comedy of manners set in Victorian London: full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.

***Also available as a manga adaptation***

Brilliantly cheesy with a hint of class.
Now, I feel like I shouldn't like this. It's trashy, it rips off Jane Austen (in a way) and it has more than it's fair share of werewolves. However this is... READ MORE

A wonderful funny romance story
I love the characters in this book, they jump off the page. Whenever I am feeling sad about myself, I follow Alexia's story and she makes me feel better.
