My Soul To Keep by Rachel Vincent

My Soul To Keep by Rachel Vincent

Kaylee has one addiction: her very hot, very popular boyfriend, Nash. A banshee like Kaylee, Nash understands her like no one else. Nothing can come between them.

Until something does.

Demon breath. No, not the toothpaste-challenged kind. The Netherworld kind. The kind that really can kill you. Somehow the super-addictive substance has made its way to the human world. But how? Kaylee and Nash have to cut off the source and protect their friends—one of whom is already hooked.

And so is someone else…


This was amazing! I don’t even know where to begin. It had so many twists and turns it never got boring. I was entangled into Kaylee and Nash’s life. The problems that she encountered in the last two book seems minuscule compared to what she has to face in this book as she learns more about the Netherwold and has to fight the evil force for those she love. Kaylee, was strong and did not let anything deter her from her what she believed in. Rachel Vincent creates a layered world paired with great characters to keep the plot moving and intriguing.

I just have to add, I can not wait for the next book! The ending was so..., I can't even formulate words to describe it but leaves you aching for the next book.

Book Review: My Soul To Save by Rachel Vincent

My Soul to Save by Rachel Vincent

When Kaylee Cavanaugh screams, someone dies.

So when teen pop star Eden croaks on stage and Kaylee doesn’t wail, she knows something is dead wrong. She can’t cry for someone who has no soul.

The last thing Kaylee needs right now is to be skipping school, breaking her dad’s ironclad curfew and putting her too-hot-to-be-real boyfriend’s loyalty to the test. But starry-eyed teens are trading their souls for a flickering lifetime of fame and fortune in exchange for eternity in the Netherworld—a consequence they can’t possibly understand.

Kaylee can’t let that happen, even if trying to save their souls means putting her own at risk….
Soul Screamers: The last thing you hear before you die.




The second book of the Soul Series was a satisfying one. It had an interesting plot line involving pop stars and the selling of souls. The book opened up a new perspective in the bean sidle world. Kaylee’s power continues to grow and become stronger with the help of Nate and his mother. This is one book in the series not to be missed. I can not possibly wait to read the next book as Nate and Kaylee’s relationship grow and another new addition of a twist. Overall, it was a good and quick read. I can not wait for the next book.

Book Review: My Soul To Take

Title: The Soul Screamer Series: (Book 1) My Soul To Take
Author: Rachel Vincent
Publisher: HarlequinTeen
Pages: 384 pages


God bless Rachel Vincent’s latest YA book series The Soul Screamers for getting me out of a horrid month long reading slump. I was captivated by the very first page.


The book begins with Kaylee and her best friend sneaking into a club. There she meets and finally talks to her long time crush Nash Hudson who later consoles her when she is near hysteria because she predicted the impending death of a girl in the club. When three more beautiful teenaged girl drop dead and on two occurrences Kaylee has the urge to scream, she is convinced that she is going insane. Nash tells her otherwise, he explains to her the reason for her urge to scream is because she is a bean-sidhe like him. Kaylee is overwhelmed with new information that she is not humane but she quickly accepts it in order to save the lives of innocent teenage girls who are being attacked by premature deaths.


My Soul To Take was a great and successful beginning to Rachel Vincent’s foray into Young Adult literature. The writing was captivating and flawless, no awkward dialogues or actions. The main characters, Kaylee, Nash, Tod and Emma were all very charismatic and had this certain charm about them. Kaylee and Nash’s relationship seemed natural and developed even though they got together fairly quickly. I was happy there was no immediate confession of their “undying love” for one another but it was evident through their actions. Plus I liked the fact that Kaylee, even though she had a long term crush on Nash, doubted his intentions in the beginning when he first started showing his interest for her.


The plot was intriguing and it was interesting to learn about what exactly banshee’s were and how they functioned. Vincent creates a supernatural world that is believable and fascinating all the same. Overall the book was amazing. I want to read the sequel My Soul To Save immediately!


Rating: 4.5/5
