[Soul Screamers #1]
Rachel Vincent
Released: August 1st 2009 by Harlequin Teen
( Barnes & Noble / Goodreads )
She doesn't see dead people. She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.
Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next.

Thoughts/Review:
Words cannot describe how surprised I was with this book.
Since this is my first time reading this series, I decided to read all of them
[including the novellas] in order. Though this was nothing like My Soul To
Lose, I immensely enjoyed it. I kind of found it funny that they only mentioned
the mental institutions once or twice towards the middle, but anyway… I was
more than ecstatic when I flipped the last page of this book and knew that I
had officially became a Soul Screamers fanatic. I can now sing the praises of
Rachel Vincent with the best of you, aren’t you all so glad?
Now there is nothing better than starting out a book with
Kaylee [main character] sneaking into an 18+ club with Emma [the best friend].
Well, there are a few ways to spice up said scene. Enter Nash [hottest stud at
school] and a chilling discovery n’ BAM, you have yourself a first chapter to
keep you hooked until Kaylee opens that pretty little mouth of hers and then
some. Now, I was not so sure of Nash in the beginning. He never even spoke to
or even looked at Kaylee before this night, only to end up playing her knight
in shining armor come nights end? Come on now. But, pleasantly, I was all wrong
about Mr. McDreamy. Yes, Nash is my new McDreamy.
I really enjoyed getting to know Kaylee and all that she is.
The concept behind this book was just lovely to read and I have not seen one
other author out there do it like Rachel Vincent. Craving the information being
held back [not to mention Nash], my eyes couldn’t devour the words fast enough.
I thought that this book had enough man candy as it was, until Tod entered and
rocked my world. I have found, with recent books I have been reading, that
reapers are deadly studs who I would gladly invite to kill me. I am having a
bad boy streak lately folks, so I cannot help but to root for Tod, even if I
know he isn’t going to win out. Is he? OH! The suspense kills me. And not to
mention that little surprise thrown at you in the aftermath of everything going
to hell and back, can we say WOAH?!
Hooked from page one and teetering on the edge of my seat
for a crazy soul stealing ride I was more shocked than your mother when she
found out you’ve seen a man indecently exposing himself at a football game when
the ending slapped me in the face. Like WHAT?! I never saw it coming, and for
that, I applaud not only Rachel but you readers for not giving it away in
reviews. I mean, I don’t know how you all kept that sucker from me, but damn
was it an intense ride.
As I sing my final note of praise for Rachel Vincent and
her magnificent characters I just want you all to know how shocked and
astounded I was with book number one. It was so much more than I ever expected
and I can’t wait to continue on with Kaylee in this thrilling series of death,
love, and secrets.
