Immortal Soul Books in Order

Immortal Soul is a gothic vampire duology set in Boston in 1897, and it leans hard into atmosphere. There is blood in the streets, a city in danger, hunters on one side, Dracula on the other, and a heroine whose gift makes her an outsider before the real horror even begins.

Maxine Parker has spent her life unable to touch another living person without destroying them. That makes her powers a curse before they ever become useful. She has seen too much death, too much pain, and too much isolation. Then the Vampire King arrives in Boston, and Maxine learns that the one being she can touch without consequence is also the worst possible man for her to want.

That man is Vlad Tepes Dracula. Kingsley does not sand him down into a misunderstood sweetheart. He is ancient, merciless, and very much the monster at the center of the story. The series gets its heat from the fact that Maxine knows this and still finds herself pulled toward him. The connection between them is not clean or easy. It is charged, dangerous, and wrapped up in the fate of the whole city.

The supporting framework, vampire hunters, relics, old grudges, and a growing war, keeps the books moving beyond the central romance. Boston is not just wallpaper here. The period setting gives the series a rich gothic mood, and the push between candlelit elegance and outright brutality works especially well.

The vibe is lush, but it is never soft.

If you want a Dracula retelling where the heroine is powerful in an unusual way and the villain remains the endgame, this series does that with real confidence. Start with Heart of Dracula and continue to Curse of Dracula. The two books tell one connected story about desire, doom, and what happens when the monster is the only person who can truly reach you.
