This is a great second installment in the Victoria Cage series! I'm really loving this series and the characters. Tori is dealing with finding out she is the Blood Queen and all that comes with it. We learn more about the men in her life and her scary brother is still around and tormenting Tori. I could not put this book down once I started and I can't wait to find out what happens next. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes supernatural mysteries!

Victoria Cage aka Tori is back! The story picks up where the first book left off, but six months have passed. Tori and Kyle have become an item now, Tori has spent the past six months healing from her brutal encounter with her step-brother and the twisted Blackthorn, and Liam has been missing since the incident. Kyle continues to change and yet stay the same. Tori is happy, but her happiness won’t last much longer as she will soon be faced with ultimatums, not from one, but two people in her life concerning her secrets. Tori knows the dangers facing her should she ever be exposed, but she’s not willing to lose what she has come to obtain in her life either. When Tori gets a request from a bereaved man to have a funeral for a son who has disappeared, and there is no body, her heart goes out to him. She sees how grief-stricken he is, and so she says yes. What she doesn’t know is that soon bodies will start turning up. She’ll see things she never thought she’d see, and the workings of a serial killer will be unearthed. Tori is going to have her hands full with the men in her life, running her business, and helping to solve these heinous murders before the murderer can strike again…or someone close to her…is going to die.
Water of Souls is Eli Constant’s second book in her Victoria Cage Necromancer series. Once again, this book is one that you won’t want to put down. You’ll be turning page after page long into the day, and ignoring everything else around you. This book, like the first, is THAT good. I love Tori. She is such an engaging character. I appreciate how she continues to develop as a character. She sees herself a certain way and she wants to improve on that. When I say this, I don’t mean just physically. In the first book, Tori views herself as a thick chick, and she wants to slim down. In this book, she’s working toward that, but she also knows that she needs to become stronger in abilities as the Blood Queen. Her step-brother isn’t going away, and she knows she needs to be able to stand against him. Let me tell you this, this author has a TON of surprises in this book. I’m sure reader that you have a few guesses as to what is going on with Kyle, but you might be both right and wrong. But trust me! Finding out…it’s fantastic!
I like how much Tori is really coming into her own in this book. She is growing, being more assertive and doing what she must. I will admit that there are a couple moments of where I mentally scold her for her actions. On a day when she has a funeral, she’s still laying up in the bed with Kyle. Then things go sideways between them briefly, and she loses it for a minute. I love her humanity, but I don’t approve of the lead-up. I’d have done things differently, but I have to admit that it makes for some intense scenes to follow.
This book is truly intense. The author delves deeper into things that we've never seen before and touches on subjects that aren't always the easiest to deal with. A father dealing with the loss of his child, but it goes deeper than that. Tori and Kyle are dealing with relationship issues, but it goes deeper than that for them. Her brother makes a few appearances in this story, but nothing heavy. But I have a feeling from the little note that is dropped at the end that the next book is truly going to get intense for Tori, Kyle, and even Liam.
I can't get enough of this series. It is just so FAN-TASTIC!! We get new characters, we get new situations, new revelations, and so much more. Needless to say, I am bey-ond excited for the next book in this series. I see troubled waters ahead for Tori, but I just hope that she'll keep her head about it and stay strong. Also, be forewarned...keep a box of kleenex nearby. There are two scenes in this book that will really hit you right in the heart and the tears will flow! I for sure cried because of how heartbreaking those scenes were. Heartbreaking, but still fantastic.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. This book is one of those ones that literally leaves you craving the next in the series. I honestly can't wait. If you haven't started reading these books, then you are honestly missing out on a really good thing. Eli Constant has struck gold with this series, and they just keep getting better. The story flows from start to finish, there are no skips, everything is covered and easy to follow. If you start reading this book, clear your schedule for the next few hours because you won't be going anywhere.
