Soulless By Gail Carriger (website) Orbit Mass market paperback, $7.99
Reviewed by Raven
Soulless was a fun novel. Mix Victorian England with vampires and werewolves and a coy sense of humor, and this book is the result. I think I can safely recommend it for fans of urban fantasy and Jane Austen (I [...]
