About this listen
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.

This was great fun!
Intelligent, sarcastic and wholly not overwhelmed by her emotions, it's refreshing to not have the heroine not start out as a blithering mess from a confronting ordeal (or at any point really). Lots of talk of fashion and food but oddly not unpleasantly so. With that in mind though, I was expecting to have a nod to the food in the first chapter when they started to talk about food in the epilogue. So I was a little disappointed that that didn't happen.
The narrator could use some work on her male voices but was definitely channeling both Mrs Bennett and Mrs Elton at some points there. It was perfectly aweful.

Soulless is a winner
As a reader you are always searching for something new in your favourite genre, Soulless delivers. It introduces new mythology and the lady packs a punch with her parasol !
I would recommend this audio book to anyone looking for a romp through the Supernatural genre. I loved the language and humour . Eagerly looking forward to the next book.

period drama x urban fantasy
loved it! My first period drama featuring supernatural creatures as normal citizens. Excellent humor, had me giggling at times, and entertaining story. Also liked MC.
