Good day! Before anything else, I would like to extend my deepest, sincerest gratitude for sending me a digital review copy of this book (via NetGalley). Thank you very much for the opportunity!

Unfortunately, I am sad to say that I have lost interest in this particular title, and consequently, I have decided against finishing it. Forcing myself to finish a book I am disinterested in (solely for the sake of finishing it) can only negatively impact the entirety of my reading experience, which, in turn, could result in me writing an unfairly negative review. That is a circumstance I hope to avoid. With that said, I believe that the best course of action is for me to simply not read it and to refrain from publicly posting any feedback regarding this book.

I hope you understand where I'm coming from. Again, thank you for the lovely opportunity!

Another DNF...I did get to 48% on this, so I did really, really try.

Book Title: Soulless

Source: I received an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.


I think I know why I didn't want to read this one for so long...maybe I just had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to get through this. Another arc that I shouldn't have even asked for, I need to be more discerning. I am learning, though, to research a book before I request it. I also haven't requested much of anything lately, so I guess that counts, too. I'm also pretty sure my arc is the final copy of the book because it was already released by the time that I received it. I need to check those sorts of things out before I request a book, too.

The story could have been a solid one if the premise was more believable...but I never really understood how the world had gotten to the belief that reincarnation is the same as eternal life or immortality. Reincarnation is life beginning again not living the one you already have. I wanted this to clear that up, but it hadn't by the halfway mark, so I just couldn't force myself to go on. It was that, and the glaring grammatical errors, lines that just didn't make sense, and the characters thoughts and feelings not coming together in a way that felt real to me. When I realized I was only continuing for the sake of finishing the arc, I had to stop.

intricate concept, its really like nothing i've ever read. cant wait to read the series

Good concept, Diesel madman murderer was just a bit soft
I'd want to read the next one - there were loads of plot lines laid down for the next book/the rest of the series which I'm looking forward to seeing where they go
