Soulless is one of those books you really shouldn't take all too seriously.
The book doesn't even take itself seriously, which is not to say it's a bad book, but if you're looking for depth in plot or characters, 
well, you picked the wrong book is all i'm saying. It helps to know these things before you read the books.
You're welcome

A meandering, amusing adventure, but reading enjoyability is occasionally hindered by excess verbosity, like what-in-the-downtown-abbey.
Girl, just say what you sayin'! XD (tho I do get, its part of the world the Author built, so I don't fault it.)
TLDR: Entertainingly tedious. It's best when Alexia and Lord Maccon are thrown together!
Off-kilter, amusing humor. Like dry british wit.
Exhibit A: "Good evening, Mr. MacDougall, she said. Even when one was horizontally prone, there was no call for rudeness."
Lol, it does make me snicker!
The plot takes a while to reveal itself: at first it seems like a slice-of-life, given the story's trotting pace. Then it seems like it's a series of adventures that Alexia happens upon, like a video game.
Then at the end, we finally get the antagonist reveal and confrontation climax.
I rmbr attempting this series years ago, starting from the 2nd book, and DNF-ing bc I wasn't captivated. This 1st one is more entertaining, but I wouldn't say I'm sufficiently captured enough to restart the 2nd book. It's too..... the vibes are like... restrained/proper whimsy. Which can be amusing, but sometimes I'm like, the narration needs to get back on the tracks!
POV: third, person, dual
SPICE: not exactly, mostly repressed, titillating british attraction LOL. And some kissing and makeout scenes that might scandalize a proper british chaperone.

This was a really fun read! Nice and easy and light.
I really enjoyed Alexis' character - a strong, quirky female protagonist! I loved her down-to-earthness, I loved her tongue-in-cheekness! I LOVED her relationship with Lord Maccon. I loved her sexuality, I just loved her!

I don't think I have retained a single snippet of information so far. I find the writing style so full of itself and the main character is incredibly insufferable. Yes, we get it, you are so special and not like the other girls and have great tits

Very good. I really enjoyed this book and i can't wait until i get my hand on the couple of books that come out. the only thing i didn't like about this book was her Family, always putting her down because she was itlian and past the marrying age. I hope they get what is coming to them in the end.

Love it
I'm pretty sure this book was tailor written for me. All my favorite guilty pleasures combined! Victorian romance and supernatural mysteries... And the main character's name is only a letter off from mine. On point.
