Not as good as the first book. I found myself skimming the final 40% of the novel, hoping something would grab my attention again, but nothing did. Much of this novel takes place on "the astral plane," which is more or less used in the novel as a psychic virtual reality; the result is disorienting and disconnects the characters from reality and the extended cast.

I admit that this is probably my least favorite of the series. The complexity of Carla and Sutton’s relationship was unique and interesting, but at some moments it felt kind of tedious. (I’m sorry Ms. Lyon if that seemed harsh). I probably wasn’t in the best mood when I finished this novel.

I will read it again because I like the series as a whole.

I had pretty high hopes for this series. It seemed like a witchy version of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, but alas no. The writing is just horrible. Everything is repeated three or four times every time there is dialogue! Whenever the bad guy is mentioned everyone in the room has to call him a different version of his name. Ugh!

Lol. I've reviewed this and #3 but not #1. I don't even own it.

AHH. I'll reread this when I've done the first one.

Yeah reducing this to a 3 star - I've got stricter standards and this isn't as good as it was or rather I don't find this as enjoyable. Just a little tedious.

‘Soul Magic’ was such an amazing continuance of the Wing Slayer novels. I really thought when I finished ‘Blood Magic’ that I had a good idea what was going to happen in the second book. Considering each member of the Wing Slayers had to find his mate or other half of his soul if you will, I thought all the novels would be of the same basic story line. Oh how mistaken I was, even though this novel does tell the story of Sutton and Carla bonding, it has very little similarity to Axel and Darcy’s story. To me this is a very rare talent to be able to write a series based on the same plot but make each one so completely different and intriguing.

Sutton was fighting the curse ten times worse than Axel ever had to with Darcy, he couldn’t get Carla out of his head, yet he had no idea whether he wanted to make love to her or kill her more. Then when an out of control psychic rogue lets loose on Carla’s mind and she realizes her twin sisters soul in trapped in that rogue’s knife, she asks Sutton to help her on a nearly impossible mission. Her sister, Keri is convinced the eagle can save her; Carla is convinced that Sutton is that eagle because of the tattoo on his back.

The question is can Carla and Sutton resist the lethal attraction to each other long enough to save Keri or will they seal the bond and leave Keri’s soul floating in unrest forever?

The plot and layout of this story is so much more intense than ‘Blood Magic’ don’t get me wrong I loved the first novel but this one blew me away completely. I even cried a few times during ‘Soul Magic’. Sutton and Carla face so much together and it’s hard to believe the way everything turns out. You find yourself going back and forth between the scenes, trying to figure out how it is going to end. This book will keep you on your toes and leave you in a state of awe. Jennifer Lyon completely upped the stakes in ‘Soul Magic’ and I absolutely cannot wait to sink my teeth into ‘Night Magic’ and see which character is taking his turn next offering his soul and waiting to see if he is Wing Slayer worthy.

Cried so hard near the end of the book I couldn't even see the words. Then I was pissed. If it wasn't for having the flu and no energy I would have hurled it across the room. Not sure how to rate it. Enjoyed reading it. Made me bawl…but it was so *ucked up that I didn't enjoy the story even if love did triumph.

**Vague SPOILER**
I wanted a 'meant to be' story not a 'we'll let you see if it works' story.

Second book in the series, and I'm still hooked. I was worried it would be a carbon copy of the first, now that we know some things about soul mirrors, but it was not at all the same. Enjoying this series very much.
