I received this as an ARC.Eyrie is the second book in the Society of Feathers series which is completely different from any other paranormal stories I have ever read. This series is about people who have half the soul of a bird, or in some cases, their body holds the soul of a human and the soul of a bird. They do not shape shift, but rather their lives are changed to reflect characteristics of their aves (avian soul). The only aspect of them physically that might show that they are not quite human is their eyes. At times their eyes will look a little more birdlike than human. This series is about Iris, a girl who had been hidden away for most of her life until her father was killed and she was put on the run. She is forced into the world of the Stryx in order to understand who she really is. In this particular book, Iris is reunited with her owlet soul, a soul that drives her to need the truth and gives her the ability to punish or help others. They spend their time trying to help her to understand her powers while figuring out a plan to change the entire Eyrie system to right the injustices done in the past. There's a light romance element which leaves this book in the YA category.The only issue I had with this book was that it had been so long since I read the first one. There are details in the first book that I couldn't remember while reading this one, so I would definitely recommend reading them fairly close together. Otherwise, it's so unique that I would say this series is a must read for anyone who likes paranormal stories.Read more reviews at Identity Discovery.
