The nature of her parents work, her mother is a marine biologist and her father is a lawyer, means that Kate doesn't stay in one place for very long and so she has always found it difficult to make friends and maintain relationships. Not terribly happy about their latest move until one day on the beach she meets Rico and Adriana and for the first time Kate forms some real friendships. But it doesn't take long for things in Kate's world to start unravelling.I loved the relationship that Kate had with her father. They had such a closeness and his love and concern for her was lovely to read. By the end of the book Kate and her mum seemed to be in a much better place but I would have liked a little more insight into why at times Kate felt such animosity towards her. The girlie time that Kate and Adriana had was fun, but I have to say that my favourite relationship was Rico and Kate. They definitely had the rocky moments and you sure couldn't say that things were smooth sailing!! They are both quite hot headed at times, but you have to love characters who are so passionate about their beliefs.Jamie Loeak did a great job of building the intensity until you were at the point of sitting on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what would happen next especially once we hit this huge climactic scene where there was just so much going on!! It was so emotional and at times heartbreaking!!So if you like your paranormal with a dose of romance and a shot of action and intrigue than you can't go wrong with Body and Soul.Review first posted at YA Book Addict...
