I read another review of this book somewhere… I can’t remember where, but I had my reservations about it. Does the humor have a slapstick or silly feel to it? I have a hard time with historicals or paranormals that have a silliness to the characters either by what they say or how they act.

The mystery part wouldn’t bother me. Actually, I would probably like it.

@heidenkind I've never read Amelia Peabody!

Great review! I don’t know, though, the Book Smuggler’s review kind of put me off reading Soulless. It does sound awfully similar to the Amelia Peabody books; and to make it even worse, I don’t really like Amelia Peabody. But I might break down and get it at some point. :/

@Mandi @katiebabs I'm hoping for more Akeldama in Changeless! @Leontine Looking forward to your review!

I couldn’t stop laughing hysterically as I read this book. Soulless is one of the most refreshing books I have read this year.

If I didn’t read such intriguing review like yours and Mandi’s I would’ve skipped this book. I love the vibe I am getting from Alexia and Lord Maccon, I think I already said it at Mandi’s, this book is going with my November book purchases
