Blessed
or cursed with a connection to the souls of others, Sloan Jordan can see the
best in people…and the worst. With nothing more than a glance at a photograph,
she can judge the living from the dead and the good souls from the evil ones.
For twenty-seven years, she's kept her ability a secret, but eleven young women
have been murdered in the mountains of North Carolina, and Sloan may be the
only hope of finding their killer.
She
has just agreed to help Detective Nathan McNamara with the case, when a
stranger—who is as alluring as he is terrifying—shows up at her doorstep with a
dark past and another puzzling mystery: she can't see his soul at all.
Now
Sloan is on the hunt for a deadly psychopath with two irresistible men. One of
them would die for her, and the other would kill to keep her safe.
What really drew me to this book was the premise. The abilities
of the main character are unique and the plot is well thought out to support
the characters activities. The romance is hot and unexpected (although I was
rooting for the other guy).
Elicia Hyder’s ability to pull you into the character’s
world and make you feel right at home is a talent. The narrative of the Soul
Summoner is engaging, witty, funny and romantic. The ensemble cast of characters
pop the isolation bubble and helps to support the character’s good nature.
As I said above the romance is amazing, but I
unfortunately was rooting for an alternate team and I probably won’t be reading
the rest of the series because my team lost. That is not to in any way diminish
from the story or the talent of the author, it is a personal preference.
One of the other aspects of the book I appreciated is
the balance. There is a good mix of romance, danger, suspense, paranormal and
fun. All is mixed in an even brew not lending strength to any single genre
which I find prefect!
Loved the book, I read on her Amazon Page that
the author recently suffered from cancer and is currently in remission. I want
to extend my happiness for her and hope all the best for her bright future!
