The Secret Life of Souls by Jack Ketchum

3.0

I love Ketchum and this book came highly recommended. His books don't have to be extreme horror for me. Red is in my top 5 favorites. I went into the book with high expectations. As I began reading, elements seemed extremely familiar. When the book got to the part with Caity and the blue and purple balls, I knew I had read this. I must have not finished it because shortly after the fire, nothing really seemed familiar. So while I enjoyed the book, the first 80%(ish) read like a Jodi Picoult novel. It really picked up towards the end and felt like Ketchum. I really like the last 20%or so. Overall, I enjoyed the book but won't be in my favorites/rereads.
