Soulless by Gail Carriger
2.0
Interesting premise, but kind of clumsily written.
The characters didn't ring true and fell a bit flat.
And I really don't think people in Victorian England said "gee" or "pee", at least not anyone from the upper classes. Seriously.
The only reason I gave it 3 stars in stead of 2 was I found it entertaining enough to finish.
Spoiler:: My biggest problem with it, among many, was the scene where the scientists threw her into the cell with the werewolf and left her alone for an hour. No scientist...ever...would do this. They would want to observe the transformation and take copious notes. Of all the unbelievable parts of this story, this one felt the least believable and most annoying.
