Thank you Joy @ Joyousreads for the recommendation! 
 Dark Soul is nothing as I expect it would be. The title just seems paranormal-ish but it's really not. Though the issues tackled in this book is pretty dark and disturbing. I cannot say I didn't enjoy t his book; I did yes. But there are just things I didn't really like and understand. Maybe I was looking for something different though mind you it's different at least for me but instead of me being intrigued and hooked it got me confused. 
 I didn't really get the plot. Though this is only the first volume of the series, I was not really getting into the mafia thing. It barely got my attention but I'm intrigued enough to continue the series. I'd give the series another try but if it won't pick up maybe it's me being a hard to please reader. 
 It needs a back story. As I was reading the first few pages the confusion came to me when I don't really get what's happening and the things going on. I asked questions, which is good enough but when I didn't really got my answer I came to a point that I think this book needs a side story or a short prequel just to know what lead them to their current situation. 
 I know kink and stuff but it was not needed. And so it comes with the torture and sex. I read this scene where Stefano was torturing Silvio. I don't want to get into much detail but yeah I don't think it was needed. I guess I'm not comfortable enough with the scene since it involves an ass and a gun. 
 READ IT OR NOT. I'd say READ IT if you're read the genre, though I won't suggest this be your first book. Id' say NOT obviously if you don't really read the genre. 
 Overall this book seems good enough but I think that it needs more depth and connection with the reader. Though it may come of all negative I'm giving hope for the series to pick up on the next volume. There are things left unanswered.
