My Soul To Take


Kaylee's not human, and she just finding this out. She's having a hard time wrapping her head about it, but she's happy to know that she's not crazy. Kaylee can see shadows on people right before they die. It hasn't happened in a while (not since her aunt and uncle took her to the psychiatric ward at the hospital and had her admitted) - but one night in a club, she sees the shadow. It's following a young girl. She begins to lose focus and almost have a panic attack while trying to keep in the scream that threatens to let loose. Instead, her best friend takes her outside and the hottest guy in school follows them. He calms Kaylee down and she's compelled to confide her secret in him. Instead of calling her crazy like she imagines, he understand and believes her. She's hoping that on Monday, she won't be called out as a freak. Then she hears about the girl dying at the bar with no possible cause of death. At work, her best friend tells her another young girl died with no apparent reasons. When a third girl collapses at school, Kaylee begins to question death. Are these girls actually suppose to die or is there are larger force at work? Given the knowledge of her new powers, Kaylee's determined to figure out the reasoning behind these deaths, even if it lands her in a heap of trouble at home and also into significant danger.
The first in a new series Soul Screamers and the first in the new book line from Harlequin Teen, this book doesn't disappoint. It's romance and paranormal - two of my favorite genres plus there's a mystery involved. Plus the whole idea if a death list and people who can save souls are intriguing. The cover is super fun - the red makes it pop out. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series already.

I loved this book! Very good! And it was refreshing to read something other than vampires (at least I think so). Can't wait to read the next book either!

I may have to pick this one up. Didn't realize it was the start of a series.
