OK the characters develop, it's got realistic behaviors for people with trauma, and the whole "I love/hate you cause of my own insecurities" is very much a thing. However, can we stop having characters that say no (especially women) and then having the men says, I know you don't mean that.

Another true adult series, not new adult. Very intriguing characters and world-building.

Soulceress is the second book in the Mythean Arcana series. This story can be read as a standalone, but we met both of the leading characters in the previous book Braving Fate, so if read in order you get a bit more of an understanding of the characters.
I loved the first book of this series Braving Fate, so I can into this book with high expectations. I am glad to report that this book lived up to all of them.
Warren is a man without a soul, forcing himself to live as an outsider. Esha is a Soulceress, being forced to be an outsider for what she is. Though these two have chemistry that sizzles when they're near one another, they throw barbs and insults to push the other one away. When Warren and Esha are forced to work together to save the world from an escaped Soulceress, the sparks really begin to fly and the sexual tension begins to build.
While reading the book Braving Fate, I really started to fall in love with Esha and Warren as characters, and I was so excited to begin reading their story. Linsey Hall did these characters justice; really creating a world in which they could thrive and become whole, while in a world in which they were originally outsiders.
While so much of what I loved about Bring Fate also appeared in this book, Soulceress took on a whole new life of it's own. I loved the mythology, paranormal, romance, and adventure that this book contained. Not only was the story in it's entirety well constructed, so were the characters. Both the leading and supporting characters were well crafted and really seemed to come to life as this story unfolded. The romance and sparks that Warren and Esha had few off the page at every turn. The sex scenes in this book were phenomenally written and entertaining, without over taking the actual story. I'm also a totally sucker for epilogues, and this epilogue not only helped wrap up Warren and Esha's story, but it also have a tiny update on Cadan and Diana from Braving Fate **swoon**.
Of course the Mythean Arcana series is nowhere near done, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
