If I thought my emotional responses to Rachel Vincent books ended with the Shifters series I was so wrong. Ms. Vincent has a way of getting you so attached to characters that the slightest hint of heartbreak sends you rushing for the tissue box. The Soul Screamers series so far has been action packed and super intense, and now I can add extremely emotional to that list. 'My Soul to Keep' made me want to scream and definitely made me cry at the end.

Nothing seems to be easy for Kaylee and Nash. You think they've made it past the worst troubles and might get a few moments to themselves, but then something new comes along to crush them. I've got to hand it Rachel, she knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat; never a gap in all that action.

I love that we get introduced to more Netherworld activities and creatures. It's a dangerous world, the Netherworld, and it seems to have a lot more influence over the human world than we know. I like that demons and problems from the previous books have also carried over into 'My Soul to Keep'; the stories keep tying themselves together with more than just bean sidhe/reaper problems. With all the times they've crossed into the Netherworld, it makes you wonder if they'll ever make it past the equivalent of their immediate area. There's got to be so many creatures and places that could cause a lot of trouble in the future.

My worries about *someone* coming between Nash and Kaylee weren't necessary, but *something*...that was heartbreaking. I know it's rare for a relationship to last an entire series without problems, but that doesn't stop me from hoping they'll be relatively happy most of the time. I hope they find a way to work out their issues soon.

Sort of sad we didn't get to see much of Tod this time. While I was wary of him before, I missed him popping in and out of existence, bugging Nash and Kaylee. But he helped save the day, so that definitely made up for his lack of scenes in the beginning. I like how much he cares for the people who he allows to see him. He might hide his emotions most of the time, but he truly cares for his family, Kaylee and especially Addy.

5/5 Stars

Again as with the other books in this series I find myself absolutely loving some parts & then other's not so much.
I know this won't be a popular opinion but Nash is an ass. I have thought this from the first book, this book just confirmed it.
There wasn't much Tod in this book which makes me sad cause I am definitely a fan.
But there is definitely enough here to keep me interested and pushing on with the series.

I just love the covers of these books. Wow, I didn't expect all that to happen. Rachel Vincent keeps you guessing. Some of the story was a bit predictable but a lot of it I had no clue about. This series is getting good. I wonder what is in store next for Kaylee?

I didn't like this one has much has I liked the first one. It was great to see how awkward and challenging it is for a father to come back into a daughter's life after years. There wasn't much progress from the two main characters but it was good to get a bit of background of some of the other iconic characters in the book.

This book was a little slow in the beginning, but it quickly picked up and I found myself addicted to this book! This book has to be one of the best, and it was so surprising! The end was kind of sad but made sure I would read the next one! This book really was a good addition to the series and has me looking forward to and even a little excited to he reading the next!
