A copy of this novel was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.There comes a time when we've read a book that makes us feel honored to have been one of the first readers of a story. That statement applies to this book. I'm familiar with Ker Dukey's work and have been a fan since reading Broken. Then I her follow up novel The Broken Parts of Us which went in a direction I didn't expect and I was truly impressed with her growth as an author. After reading My Soul Keeper, I was in awe of the storyline and characters in her latest book.My Soul Keeper is a story of Simone and Shamar. Simone is just the typical girl finishing her senior year of high school. Shamar is the son of Death and has a job he's been devoted to for centuries until he sees Simone while performing the tasks of his current assignment. The moment he crosses paths with Simone he's overwhelmed by his need to know about her and just be in her presence. Though unseen Simone can feel the comfort and calm Shamar presence brings her. The moment she lays eyes on Shamar she's consumed by her desire to be with him. However, as her heart is drawn to Shamar, she feels her body fight the desire for another.As the battle of good and evil wages on, Simone must too fight the battle between her hear and her body."You're extraordinary. the light in the darkness, the smell of the meadow, the rain in a desert, the sun in the summer... Your fresh water in the clearest lake. You're the soul of life, Heaven on Earth, the beat in my heart"As I read the story I could actually envision it as a SciFi movie; which I love. Angels vs. Demons; good vs. evil and an all consuming love are all wonderful combination for a great read and Ker Dukey did a magnificent job of telling her story and transporting me to a realm where all of this is possible. My Soul Keeper is the first paranormal romance I've read since beginning my romance reads addiction. If My Soul Keeper is any indication of what I've been missing in this genre, I will most certainly be reading more of them.This Naughty Mom gives My Soul Keeper 5 shining stars and looks forward to exploring more of this romance genre.
