A review by sharesb
Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite

3.0

Finally. It took me a week to finish this book. I can read a 350(ish) page book in 2-3 hours so this gives you an indication of the struggle I had reading this.

This review is a bit complex. The writing was good, the storyline flowed well, the characters were developed....it was a very well written book ...I just did not like the book.
I’m not into vampires. The book I chose for a reading challenge prompt to read a book about vampires.

I didn’t care for the scenes involving 13-14 year old boys having sex with much much older men (yanno vampires are old) I am far from a prude but these parts made me feel ill.

I enjoyed the NOLA setting. I was intrigued about Ghost’s gifts to feel empathy and read people’s minds and wish it had gone into more detail.

If you like vampires then yes I say go for it...you’ll probably like this book. As for me...I’m going back to my psycho human killer books
