Soulless
This is an alternate cover edition for B01MFDEERI.
Sia Sampath is on a mission. Her ultimate aim is to search and destroy her enemy. Lying, deceit and manipulation were just some of the tools she had at her disposal. And for someone who was cold and emotionless like her, it wasn't supposed to be hard to achieve her goal. But she had one big problem. And it came in form of a stunningly attractive man, who was distracting her from her chosen path. So she dealt with him by turning him into collateral damage in her elaborate revenge plan. A part of which, required them to do the impossible—to marry and live under the same roof.
Maintaining distance from her angry, resentful and a very much temporary husband shouldn't have been hard. Especially because all they had between them were hate, mistrust and a healthy dose of lust. But slowly and steadily, her defenses were beginning to crumble, and it was getting very hard to protect her heart or remain SOULLESS.
Can Sia get past her demons to follow her heart? Or will she realize that sometimes—Love just falls short of retribution...

I was looking for an easy read to relax with and the story summary seemed to suggest this could be a good option. This is the first book of MV Kasi that I have read. The book met my expectations - is a good book to relax with though it is stretched in parts.
Sia has moved to India from Boston. She runs into Ajay who is very attractive. Sia is a victim of childhold abuse which still gives are nightmares. She is also distrustful and not really looking for a long term relationship. However, circumstances move such that she gets married to Ajay. Will this distract from or help Sia achieve some goals which she has set for herself?
Sia’s character and behaviours are explored quite well. They come across as weird to start with, but as her past is revealed, things come together well in the story line.
The book does tend to drag in the middle with a lot of incidents which are completely inconsequential to the story. The book ends abruptly and the story is to be continued in ‘Ruthless’.
A decent book to relax with, and I look forward to reading ‘Ruthless’ which should complete the story.
My rating: 3.25 / 5.

Interesting plot with well developed characters. Fast paced story with moves back and forth between the past and present but not even once did I feel lost. The language and the story flow effortlessly. The book is unputdownable. The descriptions are detailed and the scenes can be easily visualized. The ending left me wanting for more, I am looking forward to reading the sequel of this book, 'Ruthless'.

Amazing Story, beautifully written
Loved the lead characters. The author has done an amazing job of building the characters and weaving their love into the story wonderfully. There is steam coming out of some pages and it was an enjoyable read. The ending is somrthing I did not expect and can't wait to read the next part, Ruthless!!!

Child abuse is one of the most common types of abuse all over the world. Often such kid’s complain and pleas are ignored by their parents and guardians thinking that they are cooking up stories, thus making such kids suffer in silence. Result, it affects them so much that it breaks their confidence and in some cases their psyche is damaged beyond repair. In most of the cases children are abused by someone close and known to them. It's either a family member or someone known to family and child, whom usually no one suspects or doubts, and therefore they escape from being caught and/or punished for their misdeeds.
M V Kasi, in her book Soulless has dealt with this issue in a very brilliant manner.
What happens when a nine-year girl, who has lost her parents at such a young age, is subjected to physical abuse for one year by a person whom she trusts and thinks to be a good person???
The abuse continues till a Good Samaritan rescues her by staging her false death and tucks her safely in an orphanage. Luckily she is adopted by a lady and is flown to Boston.
But what affect did the abuse have on her? Her soul is damaged and her memory blocks the instances of those dreadful things which she had to go through. The innocent girl has turned into a reckless girl hell-bent on wrecking her life with her wayward ways; thus bringing disappointment for her adopted mother.
But does Sia succeed in wrecking her life or she is successfully takes revenge from people responsible for her state??
Awesome story, liked the way the author has weaved the plot from past to present. Use of simple language, not too many characters are introduced or added. The manner in which Sia’s past is revealed to the reader is really commendable. Can’t wait to read what happens next in Ajay’s and Sia’s life in Ruthless. Does she get successful in avenging revenge from her uncle or she herself becomes an victim, again?
Hats off to the author for writing on such sensitive issue of child abuse. The manner in which Sia’s abuse turned her into what she became is well described. Must read if you like romance, little bit of mystery and suspense.

The characters are beautifully delineated. Sia’s character seeks a lot of attention as she is mysterious, bit cranky, rude and soft at the same time. She wants to avenge someone, for which she plans and plots. During this course she comes across a man who changes her life. She is a tormented soul and when things began to heal slowly, her past knocks at the door. The story ends in such a way that it makes a way for the next part. I feel Sia’s portrayal have been the toughest task for the author as she had to create a heartless character who was soft at some point.

I liked this book, enjoyed it as well. Tbh everything other than romance part was way more interesting. Idk if it’s the book or me, but romance has stopped making me feel interested in the books. I’m much more loving the drama, the chaos, the action, etc.. I liked Sia, she was a strong character but she was a little bland. Ajay was also good in this one but he wasn’t the shining star or anything. But ykw that twist with him telling sia the truth , I didn’t expect it. Maybe my brain wasn’t working or i was so engrossed in the book that my brain wasn’t even trying to solve the plot twist 5 chapters into the book… idk … but it was definitely shocking. The other plot twist - the one about Sia’s revenger - was very easy to guess.

The book leaves you wanting for more. Perhaps the purpose was to promote the sequel. And the objective was substantially achieved. As you come to end of the book there is yearning to know what happened next. The story line is unusual as is the narration. The "soulless" is not actually without a soul. She is out for revenge but the human element keeps coming in. This perhaps is the beauty of the character of the chief protagonist. The book doesn't reveal what happens in the end as there is no end.

Not as good as Captive which I had read some time back. Somehow the story doesn't feel organic and the plot misses integrity. Having said that, I find her writing better than the new age Indian authors of pop fiction. Recommended as a light read.

A path unexpected: finding the soul of a ‘Soulless’!
When first started with Sia I was not very interested in her character but slowly as moved on through Ajay layer after layer peeled off from her and her true self started to come out... As the person was revealed slowly before us the character Sia grew on me. The indifference turned to attention ... attention to sympathy and soon sympathy became empathy...
I was hurting with her in the closed corners... it was so painful as if it had happened to me. It felt I was going through her journey along with her, day in and day out...
This was my first MV Kasi book but never the last ... Loved the dynamics of the characters. Looking forward to read more of her works...

The story is fastpacking, exciting with loads of turns and tension. The story switch between past and present scenario, make it more curious about the plot. The first part of the story is too good that keep you engage in the story. The story uncovers Sia and her objective which is to deliver retribution.
Sia's character is written beautifully, strong, mysterious, independent, self-built CEO. She is rude, bold, short-tempered, emotionless, cranky, depressed but sometimes emotional. In the start, Sia's character makes me confused and irritated about her. But when pieces start to take place, I comprehend her character and thereafter associate with her and make me feel every damn emotion.
Every character is used limited space in the tale to make it more enjoyable. Sometimes I hate Sia because I like Ajay's character and easily connect and sympathize with him. His presence makes the story more appealing. The chemistry is mind-blowing. You can't love one and hate another because without knowing they have your heart.
The theme of the story is somewhat dark but for me, it is the topic everyone knows about it. I call this a psychology novel because Sia has a different thinking approach. Trauma changes her personality and decision-making style. Also deals with different dynamics of Sia and Ajay's relationship.
I like the M.V. Kasi writing style that is simple, easy, and lucid. The tale is narrated in a way that only makes me, more curious and suspenseful. The story's not only serious but also makes you laugh. I was too engrossed in the story that I can't see the thrilling ending. The story is a page-turner, unputdownable, awesome twists - turns with a cliffhanger ending. It has surely arrived in an absolute necessity read novel.

This is the first book in the Revenge Games Series, which is a duology, featuring this book and its sequel, Ruthless. It's also the very first book I've read by the author, so going in, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. But after reading Soulless (and Ruthless), I am glad I decided to check out this series, and the author, because both these books were pretty interesting & relatively unique reads in this genre.
Soulless is a fast paced, romantic thriller, which deals with some very serious themes of child sexual abuse & mental health. In-fact both these themes are central to the story, and considering how well the author has managed to incorporate them in an integral, yet matter-of-fact way, while being responsible and sensitive, shows that she has done a fair amount of research on the subject, and that kind of effort is something that is truly commendable.
Moreover, I really enjoyed the fast-paced narrative, which hooked me from the very beginning, and held my interest through the many twists & turns, right until I turned the very last page.
Though speaking of the last page, I must warn you that this book ends on a cliffhanger, so it can definitely not be read as a stand-alone (if that's what you are looking for). However, the story is continued & concluded in its sequel Ruthless, which I am sure you will enjoy just as much, if not more.
Having said that, I must say that this book definitely needed one more round of proof-reading, as the small typos & errors were kinda annoying in an otherwise gripping narrative.
Nonetheless, I'd still recommend this book (and series) to fans of this genre, as this is a subject that certainly needs more awareness, and it's also a tale very well told.

SOULLESS is a beautifully fast paced and wonderfully knitted tale of Revenge. The author did a remarkable job in knitting up such characters and the plot and it didn't feel like a rush attempt and there weren't any loopholes in the story.
The story revolves around Sia, an heir to a successful business empire. She is quite a strong, ambitious and talented girl. But there is something that keeps her awake at night. Something had happened during her childhood that she could not recall properly at first. For long she has been haunted by the bogeyman that had tormented her nights during her childhood. She is now a girl with a revengeful mission whose soul has been ripped out as a child. She now does all types of schemes and plots for the sake of her revenge but everything tends to change when she comes across Ajay, a handsome and successful young entrepreneur who is bent upon taking Sia out on a date in spite of her repeated cold detached refusals. Personally I have loved the characterizations of both Sia and Ajay and their sizzling chemistry.
The general question that arises in the mind is who is this mysterious person that comes in her dreams? What did he do that she still trembles in her sleep almost every night? Will she be able to take her revenge?
Though I feel like telling the answers but can’t do so without giving any spoilers.
Overall this thrilling Romantic page turner is quite an interesting read. And wish to get hold of the sequel “Ruthless” as soon as possible.

The title of "Soulless" intrigued me from the moment Ms.Kasi requested a review. Generally, with such titles in the romantic genre, you imagine a heartless hunk for whom the damsel falls for. Women authors are changing the very thinking of the readers as more and more of us are exploring women in different roles for our stories. Soulless is none other than a young girl called Sia. A very young and a pregnant girl.
The Opening Chapter
Sia Sampanth's love life is as mysterious as her pregnancy. Her love for Ajay and her sympathy is very small when compared to the way she changes his life with the declaration of her pregnancy. And right from the beginning, Ms.Kasi keeps the readers enthralled with the mysterious elements studded throughout the novel.
"YOU ARE PREGNANT, Miss Sampath. Your baby should arrive in about eight and a half months."
Soulless is a great plot and not one character seems out of place or forced into the story to increase the word count. This is a complicated story but the complications are laid interlocked with each other. A story followed by a story. Like a map connecting the past and the future of the characters. Innocence and deception are the two sides of a double-edged sword on which Ajay and Sia have to walk to follow their destiny. Beautifully penned to bring out a lump in the throat of the readers.

A beautiful fast paced story, a total page turner with a solid storyline and strong lead characters. The author did a fabulous job building up the characters and the plot and it didn't feel like a rush attempt and there weren't any loopholes in the story. Absolutely enjoyed this book and looking forward to reading the sequel of this book called 'Ruthless' and see how the story unfolds for Sia & Ajay.

SOULLESS is the story of Sia who is cold, calculating and out for revenge. As the story progresses it becomes clear she was wronged. Abused and manipulated she manages to get the details of her abuser and wants retribution. She plans to exact revenge involves fulfilling the conditions so she can reclaim her parents fortune. She is rich but belongs to an even richer family unknown to most.
She meets Ajay who is kind, handsome and a challenge for the cool Sia. There is instant chemistry and they fall for each other. Even though it is quite a chase! This is not a typical love story, especially since there is very little love in the book. It is more about lust, revenge and killing the silent demons that nightmares are made of.
The story works on many levels as Sia and Ajay are forced to be together. They have no choice or so it seems. The plot has some twists and surprises that make it a fast read even though the starting was a bit slow and it took me a couple of chapters to figure out what was she up to.
The supporting characters of Anjali, Jo and Varun add to the mystery of the book. It is not a romance but a hot thriller. It also reminded me of the premise of the very successful, The Crossfire Series by Sylvia Day, which has abused and damaged individuals finding love and acceptance similar to Soulless. M V Kasi has managed to pen this book with a good balance of hate and mistrust even as love struggles to survive.
The language is good but could do with a bit of proofreading, just some mistakes that seem to have been overlooked in a hurry. The story kept me reading since the story was so heart touching as I imagined Sia as a little girl facing the world alone. She tries to be a heartless person but is not always successful and I could see her falling for Ajay. He too becomes a friend, a bit reluctantly at first.
I was disappointed to know that it was not mentioned the book has a part two when I signed up for the book. I was half way through the book by the time I knew so now I wait for the finale. The book has a second part – Ruthless and I eagerly wait for it so I can understand all the connections between Varun, Anjali, Sia, and Ajay. They need to have their story told.
The book gains momentum during the middle and it took me a few chapters to warm up to the story. Sia’s nightmares and Ajay’s concerns made the story interesting. The little details made me want to know more about the characters. The author has managed to bring all elements together. This is an interesting read, a story about revenge, victimisation and a survivor story to the core.

This book just pulls you in!
Writing a review for every book is a different experience. With some books, the words just flow. The thoughts and feelings are simple and are right there to be put down on paper. Some take a little mulling over. But till date no book has put me in such a quandary as “Soulless”. No...no...no... don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t because I didn’t know what to say. It was because I didn’t know where to start and how to say it all. I was so scared of not being able to do justice to the book.
The first chapter itself had me hooked. I was like. “OMG! Can one really be that unfeeling?” And from there on till the end, it just pulled me in.
The book is a vortex of emotions: love, lust, fear, hate, anger, distrust, betrayal.
When I review a book, I normally give it a quick read just to gauge how interesting it is, to get the overall feel of it and then I read it again for the finer details, before I sit down to pen a review.
With “Soulless” every time I read the book, I got pulled in so deeply, I got lost in the emotions of Sia, the protagonist. I wondered at her cold blooded pursuit of revenge, I cried with her as she relived her nightmares, I felt the heat when she was in bed with Ajay. I just kept going back to the book again and again, forgetting that I had to write about it.
When I came to the end, I was like, “No...no..no... I want more. What’s going to happen next?” I must say, I am really waiting for the sequel “Ruthless” but M.V.Kasi will have her work cut out to keep it as gripping as this one.
I am very ‘kanjoos’ (stingy) when it comes to giving 5 stars to any book, but I definitely think “Soulless” deserves it! This is one book you will read over and over again!

I became a huge fan of MV Kasi's writing style when I read The Singham Bloodlines series written by her and then when I heard about this series, I was intrigued by the nomenclature and subsequently, the blurbs.
As I started reading this book, at first, I didn't care for the heroine, Sia, who came across as frigid, unemotional and manipulative but as the story progressed and I got a better understanding of the protagonists and I understood why they were as they were.
There is nothing soulless about this book. It is a soulful story with intense emotional play and revenge that drives the lives of the protagonists of this book. The characters are flawed and definitely fall in the grey area but their past that led them to their present behavior is heartwrenching.
I started out in indifference to Sia then went to sympathy and then went to empathy. While the expertly planned twists and turns kept me constantly in a surprised state, I sat engrossed with intense emotions assaulting me throughout this book.
MV Kasi has bravely taken up a social issue that doesn't often get the proper attention and made the tragedy and the heartbreak of the victims seem like our own. My throat filled with tears as did my eyes while my heart broke when I read this book.
The story continues in the second book, Ruthless and I am so eager to read it.
Another gem from the author, Soulless will clench your heart, make you cry and then leave you wanting more. A definite must-read, I give 5 super shiny stars out of 5 to Soulless and Njkinny recommends it to all intense romantic suspense lovers above the age of eighteen. Don't wait and go grab this book now!

Book#7_2019 : Soulless
Book#8_2019: Ruthless
by MV Kasi
This is a story about how Child abuse can severely impact the psychology of the victim. People who are fortunate to have a happy childhood may not easily co-relate to the trauma which a child may have to go through, in case of physical and/or mental abuse at a tender age.
Book1-Souless is more about Sia who plans to take revenge against her uncle who had repeatedly raped her at the age of 9 until she was fortunate to have escaped with the help of her teacher.
Book2-Ruthless is more about her husband Ajay who has also had a not-so-happy childhood after killing his own dad when he was seven followed by suicide by his mom a bit later. His mom was the teacher who had saved Sia from her monster uncle.
Both the books have been well written except for a few grammatical mistakes and a lot of adult content. Anyway, the story revolves around these two with a lot of twists and turns and eventually how they are able to take revenge on their uncle.

Full Review
Soulless, another blockbuster or Bestseller from MV Kasi. I love the way she weaves multiple topics into one story. It will haunt you and keep you hooked. The emotional turmoil it caused in me. Kudos to MV Kasi for bringing those emotions out in her characters and the reader too. By the end of it I was boiling and was thinking of all kinds of horrific punishments for the villain of the book.
The story goes at a steady, fast pace throughout the book. I couldn't think of any part which was not needed.
Now I cant wait for the next Book: #Ruthless.

I absolutely adored the book. Best of Indian romance authors so far. Loved it. I read both the books (2 book series) within a day. The plot was so interesting I just couldn't put it down. Ajay was amazing. Waiting for many more books from the author.

Usual storyline
Not keen on stories like this. Seems like I am watching a telugu movie, had to flip some pages to get to the end.

This story blew my mind - it was dark, thrilling and kept me turning the pages. I loved the character of Sia. She was so cold and callous, and yet, I felt so connected with her. It was obvious she had been through so much pain in her life. Ajay was the perfect counterpart to her, with his charm and humor. I really liked the twists and turns in their relationship as Sia's secrets come done.

Disappointed
I've read many novels of this author back to back but this one, hardly managed to read upto 42 pages, but couldn't continue after that. Story doesn't bound u at all.
