Review: Good Idea, But I didn't like It
Rating: 2 out of 5

I read this sequel to Retribution because I already had it and I thought there was a possibility it could be better than the first book in The Lost Souls Series. It was slightly better, especially toward the end. But not enough so to elevate it above a two star rating in my opinion.I think I hate Regan even more than I did in the first book. She continues to annoy me and her constant flip flopping behavior leaves me uncertain of who she really is. I liked Colter the first time around, but my feelings toward him have cooled considerably with this book. He walks around angry all the time, going off into rages and hitting people who are supposed to be his 'family', and he's completely oblivious that Regan, the girl who is supposed to be his soul mate, is struggling with losing her soul to darkness.I liked Parker, who was at least a mostly consist character and a mildly interesting one. Although, I can't figure how his feelings towards Regan changed so abruptly. Or maybe they didn't. It's kind of hard to tell.There were some nice twists in this book that I didn't expect. One thing Relinquish will do is surprise you. The story itself continues to be interesting and if I wasn't so put out with the characters, I probably would have rated the book higher.
