Before I Wake by Rachel Vincent
5.0
Before I Wake is the sixth book in the Soul Screamers series; Full of action, mysteries and irresistible romance, if you loved the previous books you will definitely be satisfied with this one!
Now, Before I wake is set one month after the events of If I Die. After being killed, Kaylee Cavanaugh is trying to live life like nothing's happened. But lots of things have happened since the day she was killed. After being recruited to find souls, Kaylee's time alone with her Reaper boyfriend has become increasing short. With all her friends and family endangered, how will Kaylee protect them?
We find that Kaylee's 'life' is still as complicated as ever. Kaylee's adjusting to her new undead life, her new job, her new boyfriend and her newfound popularity. Kaylee's first day back at school starts with a bang when her new boss orders her to retrieve a soul stolen by a rougue reaper. Kaylee is shocked to find that the rougue reaper is Thane - who Tod left in the Netherworld to be tortured by Avari after he threatened Kaylee. With Thane now working for Avari, Kaylee and her friends must stop them both before Avari causes more death.
Kaylee, Tod, Nash, Sabine and Emma, are all back with a new and exciting paranormal mystery to solve.
Tod is the best undead guy ever. We get to see a lot more of him in this book and, occasionally, see him pour his heart out. Tod and Kaylee made me laugh, made me cry and they made me smile. When times got tough, Tod was there to make it all better. The guy's just too perfect for his own good.
I liked the jealousy between the characters as well. Sabine and Nash, damn, nothing ever goes right for them, does it? Even though Kaylee has made her choice, I can't help but feel sorry for Nash. He tries very hard, in this book, to get over the pain and betrayal, and I really admire him for that.
-I found it beyond disgusting that Sophie, Nash and Sabine left Kaylee to cope on her own on her first day back at school because they cared more about their own hurt feelings. If you truly care about a friend you support them in their hour of need. Sophie especially, she could have easily helped Kaylee when she saw how distressed she was but she left her to the vultures even after she knew Kaylee died for her.
