“Spectacular debut novel.” “Laugh out loud funny and refreshingly different, Soulless kept me turning pages well into the night. I enjoyed every minute of this wonderfully unexpected twist on paranormals.” |
“Carriger’s leading lady is a strong, independent role model for female readers… Ladies and gentlemen of propriety are combined with dirigibles, robots, werewolves, and vampires, making this story a steampunk mystery and an adventure mash-up that is sure to intrigue readers…” |
“...clever and amusing...a genre goulash of urban fantasy, historical fantasy and romance with a dash of steampunk for flavor… Soulless will please fans of fantasy, historical fantasy and paranormal romance alike.” |
