A review by bookobsessedfamily
All the Dark Souls by A.M. Dunnewin
4.0
TW: Death, gore, specifically execution style by beheading and hanging
Joss is the last in a long line of executioners. She's ostracized by most of her community because she has to do something that she would never choose for herself.
Aric is left on the side of the road nearly dead after he failed to assassinate his last target.
To atone for her life as an executioner, Joss helps care for those who are injured, including Aric. But when his failed job and her mandated job collide, who will survive?
----
This is different from any book I have read before. Yes, it's very dark, but I have never read a book from an executioner's point of view.
It is a slow burn, it takes us a while to get to the real action and plot of this book. Though the build-up is very important because it gives us background into Joss and her life and the basis for what the whole book, and I am guessing series, is about.
I am interested to see where Joss and Aric's relationship goes and to see how things play out in book 2.
Thank you to the author and @breysbooktours for the chance to read and review this book.
