I went into Sixteen Souls with zero expectations. I'm a sucker for a beautiful cover and I fell. Hard. This cover is stunning and it says so much about the book without actually saying anything at all. I didn't read the synopsis before reading this because I really like to go into any kind of horror/paranormal books without knowing anything.
I am so glad that I did. Because it left nothing for me to be disappointed in. I greatly appreciate all of the representation that is whiting this book. There is LGBTQ+, disability rep for a double amputee, trans representation. With all of this rep I feel like it only deepened the connection with the characters. And you were able to get to know their true authentic selves.
Getting to know you're characters throughout the book and how they handle the different bombs thrown their way was executed so well.
The world building and all of the different characters can be a bit much but it was so well written you were able to follow everything within their respective timelines and lifelines.
I really enjoyed the relationships within this book and how well they were written. Having more LGBTQIA+ in YA is such a pertinent need and this book fulfilled the need so well. I wish that there would have been a bit more explanation of one of the characters journeys so that we could have known them a bit better. But I'm hoping that will come in a follow up book.

Along with the paranormal is a good mystery element that keeps you guessing. Great book really enjoyed it.

From disabled rep to queer rep set in the beautiful city of York where I live I literally couldn’t put this book down at all!
From start to finish I was stuck deep in. For a debut it has phenomenal writing and I’ve never read anything like it.
Definitely a forever fave
