Amber Scott does it again, she has created a new world full of magic and supernatural occurrences.  In Soul Search, Grant and his sister Beatrice are searching for Beatrice's missing son.  The night the boy was kidnapped, Grant was turned into a werewolf, and he has not grown accustomed to the wolf inside of him.  When the wolf takes over, Grant blacks out and has no recollection of what happened.  Leigh is semi-familiar with the supernatural, she has a ghost friend, Jacob, who helps her channel the "other-side."  Beatrice enlists Leigh's help in finding her son, and Leigh in need of safe passage home agrees.  What none of them realize is the soul stealing nature of the boy's disappearance and the mysterious purpose the wolf in Grant has to free those captured souls.  As the group travel together, Leigh and Grant begin a new relationship, their supernatural and physical attraction grows, and they must work together to find and free the souls before it's too late.I really enjoyed Soul Search, the concepts and the mythology is definitely new, very unique, and quite interesting.  The story line slowly unfolds, and I have to admit that it took me awhile to understand the paranormal elements here (in fact, I think I am still a bit confused on some things).  The reader learns about the souls and the ghosts at the same time as the characters, so I felt the emotions right along with the characters in the story.  There is a lot of layers to this story, with relationships, who means what to who, who is good, who is evil, things are not always as they seem.Werewolves have a whole new purpose in Soul Search, there is not really a pack in the human world.  There is really just Grant, and his wolf has the ability to find and free captured souls of children.  Humans have found a way to steal the souls and give themselves longer life, and refreshed youth.  This concept is so new, and it takes the entire book to figure all of this out, so I was frustrated at times by my lack of understanding.  However, I truly appreciate the uniqueness of this book, and I love that the wolf side of the character has such a powerful purpose.Aside from my moments of confusion as to the paranormal in Soul Search, I really enjoyed reading this book.  As I read more and understood more about the world and the characters, I was drawn into the story and I was excited to see how everything would unfold.  I can say that the end was not what I expected, and yet everything worked.Amber Scott is a creative and brilliant author and the worlds she creates never cease to entice me and keep me coming back for more.Readers who love paranormal romance books, and books about werewolves, I highly recommend reading Soul Search, you will enjoy this unique and fascinating novel.I received this book for review at [...]
