A review by bkclub4one
Penny for Your Soul by K.A. Ashcomb
2.0
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
A Penny For Your Soul is about a town, Necropolis. It is populated by the undead, ghouls, necromancers and normal beings. From the beginning, we are made aware that something important is about to happen in this town. As the blurb suggests, a lot that happens in the book involves politics and the economy(read banking).
The story unfolds through multiple POVs which made the story a hundred pages longer than it was meant to be. The characters, although different and start at different points in the story ended up coming together at the end of the book for a rather anticlimactic ending.
I am always very careful whenever I request a book from an author or a publisher. I read the summary carefully and also the reviews just to know what I am getting in to. However, this time was different. I saw the words undead, ghouls, and humans then stopped. I could already picture it in my mind. I needed this book Asap!
Such a bad idea. I should have read the whole summary because then I would have known that this was an economic and political satire kind of book. I think this would have worked for me if the supernatural aspect was not involved.
