Wild Souls by Faith Prince
4.0
"Those who we expect the least from are those who surprise us the most."
Wild Souls is a young adult fantasy which is not something I would usually read. I'm glad that I did though, because I enjoyed getting to know Ethan and Jenna and watch them grow.
Ethan has been labeled a loser, psycho, freak, and liar by others in his hometown his whole life. He's become used to it and stays to himself, or tries to. Enter Jenna, the new girl in town who doesn't listen to everyone's claims about Ethan. They first meet in the hallways when a classmate is bothering Ethan.
We then see them interacting through an app where they stay up all hours of the night chatting about all sorts of things. Ethan doesn't want to share his ability with her because he's afraid that she will label him crazy like everyone else does. He eventually trusts her enough to tell Jenna and her reaction is nothing like he expected it would be. Jenna has accepted him for all that he is, soul seer and all.
I loved Ethan and Jenna, as individuals and as a couple. Their relationship is one that I think everyone should read about. I think that Ethan and Jenna can teach people the values of commitment, the importance of staying true to yourself, and supporting your partner through their good and bad times.
I thought Ethan's ability to see people's souls and their darkest secrets was fascinating. I've never read anything like this and really enjoyed reading his descriptions of people's auras and what their souls encompassed. Faith does an amazing job of writing the descriptions of these through Ethan's eyes.
