The one man she wants is the one man destined to destroy her.
Dark Souls, Book 1
Sooner or later we all end up dead. Jace Cutler doesn’t have the luxury of staying that way. After receiving a fatal stab wound, he awakens in a hospital room in Portland, Oregon, with no memory and a big hole where his soul used to be. Worst of all is the glow. Everyone is surrounded by a strange white aura he hungers to possess, none more compelling than the one enveloping Dr. Lia Benson.
Lia has always been ruled by reason, refusing to put stock in such nebulous things as destiny. Until Jace dies in her arms, then miraculously comes back to life. Whenever he’s near, her soul responds and her body burns. And she’s consumed by odd dreams she’s convinced are Jace’s lost memories.
When Lia is kidnapped, Jace tracks her and discovers a shocking explanation for who—and what—he is. Something no longer human, a dark legacy that until now has lain dormant within him. Something that could destroy the one woman he’d sacrifice everything to protect.
Warning: Contains bone-melting sexual tension, scary battle scenes, heartrending emotion guaranteed to keep you turning the pages well into the night, and a positively divine hero who may just steal your soul.

Review
"Withthe first book in her Dark Souls series, Hope gives readers a page-turning lovestory about two lost souls. Her worldbuilding is on par with Sherrilyn Kenyon,and she tortures her characters just as much! The secondary characters, withtheir own superpowers and faults, add to the fun. Can't wait for book two!"
--4.5 stars, KarenSweeny-Justice
Book Description
Lia never put stock in destiny until Jace dies in her arms, then miraculously comes back to life. Whenever he’s near, her soul responds and her body burns. And she’s consumed by odd dreams she’s convinced are Jace’s lost memories. Except Jace is no longer human. He’s something destined to kill.

About the author

Anne Hope is the author of emotionally intense romances with a twist--a twist of humor, a twist of suspense, a twist of magic. All her stories, however, have a common thread. Whether they make you laugh or cry or push you to the edge of your seat, they all feature the redeeming power of love and the heart's incredible ability to heal.
Anne's passion for writing began at the age of eight. After penning countless stories about enchanted houses, alien girls with supernatural powers, and children constantly getting lost in the woods, she decided to try her hand at romance. She lives in Montreal, Canada, with her husband, her two inexhaustible kids, a lazy cat and a rambunctious Australian Kelpie.

It takes a polished mindset to blend romance and the paranormal without caving into the extremes of either. Ann Hope manages that in SOUL BOUND. The introduction of bodies taking on a different identity instead of dying may not be new but Anne makes it intensely real right up to the surprising Epilogue of this book. From the opening chapter in which Jace Cutler, a rather bizarre soul from the author's description, suffers a life threatening would from a barroom scuffle with a filthy biker known as Viper. Instead of feeling the agony of the wounds he sinks to the floor feeling numbness. Jace is brought into Dr. Lia Benson's Rivershore ER where Lia recognizes him as one of her sister Cassie's exes. Attempts to save his life fail and Jace Cutler dies - and mysteriously comes back to life: he is compelled to take someone else's soul so that he will live on. In deference to the terse synopsis, Jace awakens in a hospital room with no memory and a big hole where his soul used to be. Worst of all is the glow. Everyone is surrounded by a strange white aura he hungers to possess, none more compelling than the one enveloping Lia who has always been ruled by reason, refusing to put stock in such nebulous things as destiny. Until Jace dies in her arms, then miraculously comes back to life. Whenever he's near, her soul responds and her body burns. And she's consumed by odd dreams she's convinced are Jace's lost memories. When Lia is kidnapped, Jace tracks her and discovers a shocking explanation for who--and what--he is. Something no longer human, a dark legacy that until now has lain dormant within him. Something that could destroy the one woman he'd sacrifice everything to protect.'
A story of such intensity often crumbles in the hands of lesser writers, but Anne Hope understands that fine line between the sensational (read paranormal) aspects of the story and the honest raw romance and passion that inevitably rises to the forefront whenever the story borders on the incredulous. That is the mark of an author who has master her genre. She holds the reader like a magnet all the way through. Grady Harp, October 14
Jace and Lia are drawn to each other, they don't know why as everything else around them crumbles and falls apart what they have continues to grow stronger and try as Jace might to break that bond the pull is to strong and he finally gives in cementing what was written long ago. Their destiny's, there is something they are both meant to fulfill and no matter what it will play out how depends on them but either way what was written long ago will come to be.
Battle between good and evil is within just about every page of the book, Jace is a hybrid born of a human and a nephalim but he is not like the others, he is different, his soul and that of Lia's are stronger and united they are just about unbreakable, or are they.
I like how the book takes you through Jace's death and transformation into this hybrid that he is, a supposed soulless creature that feeds off the souls of others if he chooses and the battle he goes through every day to contain that evil side of him. How at first he struggles to understand what he is and what he has become. And how Lia is in a way thrown into his world not knowing that there is something about her that draws her to Jace and Jace to her. This pull, this cord that keeps them together also tears apart her own real world and as she battles to understand and to accept she faces great loss.
There are some great side story lines in here in regards to Jace's life growing up, his father, his mother and Lia and her sister Cassie. As well as the life of the "Watchers" and what their purpose is on earth. Who they are and why they are there. And then of course there is always the bad guy the evil immortal Athanatos and his first born son Kyros and the female who always wants to be at the right hand of the bad guy Diane (or Diahnn as Athanatos calls her) she is a nasty one I tell you.
This was a great story from start to finish and it ends with the possibility of another book to follow (I personally hope there is another one) if you like YA Paranormal Romance then you need to hurry and get your copy of Soul Bound: Dark Soul
