![]() ![]() Rebecca returns to New Orleans, where a ghost of a 19th century boy named Frank has begged her to help him complete the errand he was sent on when he died: the delivery of a locket. ![]() ![]() Unbroken picks up several months after the events of Ruined. Unfortunately, several things soon become clear about Rebecca's new friends: Lisette is a ghost, the fact that Rebecca can see her is not a good sign, and Anton knows more about them both than he's telling. ![]() Her social interaction is limited to two people: Anton Grey, a handsome, popular boy from one of the city's old-money families, and Lisette, a girl she meets in Lafayette Cemetery. Rebecca sticks out like a sore thumb, having little interest in New Orleans's celebratory rituals and stratified class system. Ruined is set in modern-day New Orleans, where fifteen-year-old Rebecca Brown is sent for a six-month-long stay with a family friend while her father is on a business trip. Dark Souls had some shaky characterization, but Morris's plot was creative, creepy, and rich in historical detail (all things I approve of in a ghost story), so my hopes were high. After reading Paula Morris's novel Dark Souls earlier this spring, I decided to hunt down the two books in her earlier series, Ruined and Unbroken. ![]()
