As promised, My Soul to take review and I have nothing but fan girl rants. Ready? OHMYFREAKINGGOSH! I mean wowza. I have not read a story this original since uh hmm? I want to say ever, but that is untrue and unfair. So I will say its been awhile. Generally I have a problem with characters harping on how plain jane they are, unremarkably unattractive they are and/or how so amazing they are but since this is teenage girls, I find it acceptable. And even if I say I don't remember being as hot under the collar as Kaylee, I would be lying if I said I never was. It's just been so long. That said, the only real problem I had with the book was how fast and uneventful Kaylee and Nash established coupledom. And why? There was no time for us to see What they liked about each other, besides the fizzle business in the parts below. But that can be chalked up to my age. I need the substance that builds lasting love not the tingling neither parts that feeds luurve. But again hello, high schoolers.
Now to everything else which I love. I loove it wasn't the overdone vampires, werewolves, shape shifters ect. Which even when done right and unique is still sort of like old hat. So kudos right off for that.
The characters were believable teens. The loyalty, the cliques, the stereotypes groups. I am a firm believer that cliches are based in facts. Cheer/dance squads are mainly bitchy, girls within the same age range in same family have that competition for attention, girls do try to screw each other over when it comes to a high school hottie. So it was all believable.
Now the imagery and consistency of it. Now with me I get bored with the background description unless I am editing then I hit the OCD mode to make sure it is described the exact same way every time. But other than that I sorta skim until I get past it and back to the substance. But that's just me. The netherworld description was well done.
Okay, maybe I was a bad kid but if my parents pulled the crap her family pulled, they would not get off the hook that easily. I would be highly pissed. Honestly, you chose to hospitalize and drug me up rather than tell me what was up? Hell no would they live that down. Kaylee was mad, which I loved but not mad enough. Kaylee was snarky but not nearly enough. I suppose most people aren't lucky enough to be raging bitches when a situation calls for it.
Best of all it left me begging for more in the series. And unlike house of night Kaylee is not near the whore of the heart Zoey is. Which is hard to do in a YA novel. YA Girls love boys boys boys! And Vincent adds that hmm nice 3 point dimension to the story.
So basically I have and will continue to recommend this series. I will also be reading other novels by Rachel Vincent while I wait for the next in the Soul Screamers series. I also love that they majorly take place in my neck of the woods...
Ciao.
