A copy of this novel was provided for review via Net Galley on behalf of the publisher.A good book! Hallelujah, hallelujah, halleeeeeelllluuuujjjaaaahhhhh.I had been looking forward to The Weight of Souls ever since I saw a review for it on Tammy's blog Books, Bones & Buffy (like a year ago - I know...
There isn't really much going for this book other than the premise. Dude, how awesome is the idea of a girl cursed by ghosts to hunt murderers? For some reason though, Pearce thought it a better idea to make Taylor's social life the main point of the book instead of I don't know, her curse. Brillian...
YES. Asian protagonist. Asian model on the cover.Thank you.(Oh, and the synopsis sounds cool too.)8/24 Edit: Need to write a real review ... but I really did like this one. Lots of cool stuff thrown in without it feeling too mish-mashy (probably not a word ... but whatevs.) I also liked that the pro...
I liked the concept. The combination of teenage angst, high school drama and the connection to an ancient family curse was quite interesting.It ticks all the YA boxes and has a side note of pending horror.The author also tackles the issue of bullying and being isolated in school.

'Dead men take me to the nicest places' (pg 1) From the very first sentence 'The Weight of Souls' had me hooked. The intensely, deadly scene at the start, to the enticing scenes at the end, were captivating, mysterious and downright terrific. Taylor was a girl who just wanted to live a normal li...

For the most part, I really enjoyed The Weight of Souls. I found the pacing to be a great speed and was immediately drawn...
This book was provided by the publisher for reviewing purposes. The description of The Weight of Souls immediately captured my attention. So many aspects of the plot interest me--ghosts, curses, murder mystery, and ancient Egypt? In one book? Sign me up! I was all the more pleased to find myself s...

Taylor gets cursed by ghosts and h...
The Weight of Souls by Bryony Pearce grabbed me immediately with that gorgeous cover. I was further intrigued by the family curse that plagued Taylor. Avenging murder victims sounds pretty noble and not so bad until the whole ‘Darkness coming for the murderer or you if you don’t find the murderer fa...
See my review of this book, and many more, at Tales from the Great East Road. Everyone knows being a teenager sucks. Especially when you’re bullied by the popular guys at school, even worse when one used to be your best friend – but when you are hunted by ghosts how can you be anything but a freak? ...
