Old Souls was an excellent story about fate, loss and love.Alyssa Reynolds is an up and coming graphic designer at Young and Rubicam. For Alyssa, the story begins uneventfully but with a strange sense of foreboding. She has to deliver a presentation at a meeting that will be attended by one of the company's owners -- Mark Young. Sitting next to her longtime mentor and best friend, Colin, Alyssa attempts to still her racing nerves. However, she senses the foreboding and feels that her life is about to change. Then the vibrations start. Alyssa's body is positively alive with a strong vibration that she has only felt in a series of recurring dreams. The vibration grows stronger and then Alyssa comes face to face with its source, Mark Young. From that one meeting, Alyssa's life begins to change...never to be the same again.I really enjoyed this magical novella. Alyssa and Mark were such likeable characters. And boy did I ever feel their plight once the revelations started coming so fast and furious. I love the twist with Alyssa's father...totally unexpected but very fitting with the story. The redux test was absolutely heartbreaking. Who could make the "right choice" in that situation?!?! But *deep breath* I so appreciated the outcome of the situation.This story was endearing and sexy. Ms. Lupton definitely has a way of drawing a reader into the story and making them fall in love with her characters.
