Half a Soul
By Olivia AtwaterPublisher Description
“Whimsical, witty, and brimming over with charm” (India Holton), Olivia Atwater’s delightful debut will transport you to a magical version of Regency England, where the only thing more meddlesome than a fairy is a marriage-minded mother!
It’s difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you’re a young lady with only half a soul.
Ever since she was cursed by a faerie, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear or embarrassment—an unfortunate condition that leaves her prone to accidental scandal. Dora hopes to be a quiet, sensible wallflower during the London Season—but when Elias Wilder, the strange, handsome, and utterly ill-mannered Lord Sorcier, discovers her condition, she is instead drawn into peculiar and dangerous faerie affairs.
If her reputation can survive both her curse and her sudden connection with the least-liked man in all high society, then she and her family may yet reclaim their normal place in the world. But the longer Dora spends with Elias, the more she begins to suspect that one may indeed fall in love even with only half a soul.

“I loved reading this book! It has such unique story plot. The romance is the right amount. I've come to learn I enjoy reading historical fantasy romance.
Love the double meaning and humor of dialogues. The mystery of the plague's origin was well thought of. I must say that the main conflict, how it's laid out and resolved was written perfectly.
And also, I found many interesting lines and thought provoking passages in the book. Here's one of my faves,
"Do you know, Dora, I have known many human beings with a full soul to their name who do not have half so much compassion or practicality as you... I believe that you might simply have an overabundance of both qualities... In short, though I am terrible at saying it I am glad that you are here." Elias”Juliette Lemire
