Alexia Tarabotti is laboring 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?

Honestly, that's probably why this is getting 5 stars, though the artwork is lovely throughout. But Lord Maccon isn't exactly large and brawny (just tall and not a bishoen), Alexia shows quite a bit more cleavage than everyone else, and Ivy's hats are really not atrocious enough. But excellent ad...
I rather enjoyed the novels, see how this version is. This also set off a flurry of error reports to the BL Librarians since one ISBN should not have multiple entries, and Volumes 2 and 3 were listed as Other Editions for this...
This is an adaptation of the entire first Soulless book: starving made-vampires appear out of nowhere and have no clue what they are or how they're supposed to behave, there's a wax-faced man, and Lord Maccon is interested in Alexia. It even ends at the same place the book did, with the wedding. T...
My recent forays into favorite novels turned graphic novels haven't been that rewarding so it was with general dubiousness that I looked at Soulless. A trusted voice said that it was the best one she'd ever read. Luckily it's easy to convince me to read a book and I jumped right in! Soulless's tongu...
