Dark Souls is a haunting story of one woman's inner struggle with who she is, and who she will become. In a world much like our own monsters live beside of us. They can be your neighbor, your boss, or your best friend. Emily (Ems) finds out that she is one of these monsters, but still she is different. Something dark and hungry has awakened in her and it wants to feed, desperately. Ems had a tortured childhood and has fought tooth and nail for the life that she has, now she is more and she is not sure how to handle it. Can she control the darkness that slithers inside of her waiting, or will it claim her?I just want to tell you that this story captivated me right from the start. Ems is such a dynamic character. Her strength is just amazing. Going through the things she has, she has come through with her sanity and tried to be a better person everyday. When her bodies awakens to these new senses and powers she adapts quickly. She still fumbles and makes mistakes but she does not loose her humanity. Then there is Asher. He is dangerous and sexy, but set apart. He changes his moods and emotions on a whim. He is conflicted.Asher and Ems have a lot of tension between them and there is some potential for a deeper relationship between them, but right now it is a tentative friendship that is laced with caution.I devoured this story and cannot wait until the next book comes out! The author did an awesome job meshing our world with the world of the supernatural. Dark Souls is a must read that will claim you and take you into the darkness.I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
