Welcome to York, England.
Mist lingers in the streets.
Narrow buildings cast long shadows.
This is the most haunted city in the world. . . .
Miranda Tennant arrives in York with a terrible, tragic secret. She is eager to lose herself amid the quaint cobblestones, hoping she won’t run into the countless ghosts who supposedly roam the city. . . .
Then she meets Nick, an intense, dark-eyed boy who knows all of York’s hidden places and histories. Miranda wonders if Nick is falling for her, but she is distracted by another boy — one even more handsome and mysterious than Nick. He lives in the house across from Miranda and seems desperate to send her some sort of message. Could this boy be one of York’s haunted souls?
Soon, Miranda realizes that something dangerous — and deadly — is being planned. And she may have to face the darkest part of herself in order to unravel the mystery — and find redemption.
My thoughts: This one is high on my must-read list this year. I loved Paula Morris's first book, Ruined---it was one of the first books to really hook me into reading YA. She is such an outstanding storyteller. Dark Souls sounds fantastic with it's eerie setting and ghosties galore! Not to mention, that gorgeous cover!
That cover is a real standout. Its going on my list now.

As far as I can tell, this one is not a sequel to Ruined. So no need to read one before the other----although if you haven't read Ruined, I highly recommend it!! :)
