Souls in Ruin by Jacqueline White
5.0
challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

✨spoiler free ARC review✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I’d give it a million stars if I’m being TOTALLY honest)

When I tell you this book… THIS BOOK. 
I have been spiraling since the beginning. 
Falling completely under the spell of this beautifully tragic and poetic story. 

This is on the DARKER side, so when I say read your trigger, please do.

I spent a good majority of this book with my jaw hanging open, or gasping at something unexpected. 
I felt such a strong range of emotions through out this book that I genuinely couldn’t stop reading it. (Breaks who?👀) 

I am COMPLETELY obsessed with these characters, and while I had some theories, nothing prepared me for that ending. This hasn’t even released yet and I’m clawing at the walls for the next one. 

An absolutely incredible piece of work. One that I will be talking about for A LONG TIME. 

Beautiful imagery, incredible writing, WONDERFUL PLOTTING. I genuinely cannot recommend enough! 
Releasing Oct 2025!
