A Review of Dark Souls by Paula Morris

(Cover of Dark Souls by Paula Morris)

I apologize for taking so long to review another book. Typically it doesn't take me this long to read through and review a book, however I work and go to school a lot, and this book was really REALLY bad (at least to me anyways).

I gave this book a rating of 1.5/5.

My boyfriend and I were browsing at a nice little used bookstore a few weeks back when I picked this book up. My boyfriend, Danny, was joking about the title because Dark Souls 3 is his all time favorite videogame ever. So I took the book and read the synopsis on the back, and it seemed interesting so I figured "This should be a good read".

Boy was I ever wrong.

So essentially the book is about a girl named Miranda, who after her best friend died, can now see ghosts. Her family takes a vacation to York, and Miranda meets a boy named Nick, who she develops feelings for, and the two go on a mystery/paranormal journey.

First off, the romance that takes place in a typical YA Novel wasn't there in the slightest. There was one or two kisses between the two, but honestly this book couldn't hold my interest long enough to really even care or even get attached to the characters.

Second off, I was 150 pages in when I realized I STILL could not get interested in this book. The idea for this book was good, however the writing was absolutely terrible and could not keep my interest.

I have always loved reading, and typically read books in the span of 2-4 days depending how busy I get with my life, however this book was so bad, that I put off reading it and contemplated not even finishing and starting another book to review. But I figured maybe someone will stumble on my review and appreciate it,

Overall, the idea for the book was good, but everything else was bad. This book will be returned to a used bookstore for credit towards hopefully a better book.

Have a good day guys!
