I'm sad to say that this was my fourth did not finish book in a row. Before writing the review on it, I started another book. I figured if I started another and I didn't get into it, as well, then I'd really know it was me. At that point, I wasn't sure what I'd do, but it might have involved not posting about Soulless, at least.
Here's the thing about Soulless: I should like it. There's a clever, spunky, unconventional main female character. There's an interesting werewolf for a romantic lead (at least, it was looking that way when I left off). However, I just didn't really care. I didn't like Alexia all that much (she was okay). I didn't like how when they were together, the point of view switched between Alexia and Lord Maccon (the werewolf). There was something about the style of writing I can't pinpoint, but that didn't work for me. I felt like I could push through and find the book to be okay, but I really, really want to read something that doesn't involve pushing through. The other book I picked up is enjoyable without pushing through and I'm thrilled. So, I'm done with Soulless and, hopefully, with my sad streak of did not finshes.
