I loved Save My Soul. Zoe Winters has amazingly polished her writing and the story flows smoothly through the whole book. The plot is set up brilliantly and things you thought were just fillers in the story gets picked up later. In the end there's several twists, each one of them making you speed up your reading to see what happens next. I have to admit, I did not see THAT coming.In the beginning we get to know Anna, who after her fathers death returned to the town she grew up in. With a heritage she doesn't really need to worry about money, so she buys a house she loved as a kid and settles in. Anna is not one to believe in ghosts and magic, but when it becomes evident, that she's not alone in the house with her cats the story starts to unfold.We're introduced with Luc, the sexy incubi, who can't leave the house. Tam, Anna's childhood friend, coming back into her life. Horrifyingly realistic nosy neighbors, more demons, priests, hookers, gypsies, a van that plays the ghostbusters theme. The range of the secondary characters is astounding and all of them so well written. Makes you wonder which one Winters will pick to be the heroine in her next book - asuming she still continues with the same fictional world. I guess it would be Tam, though one of the hookers would be a really interesting choice to read about.And when you're reading a book where there's an incubi, you should know to be ready for some steamy moments. All the sexual tension and sex scenes are - as the rest of the book - very well written and leaves you with a craving. The scenes don't feel misplaces as they can in some books - in Save My Soul they have a rightfully claimed spot.I can't find anything real to criticize and I might end up repeating myself, but it's just that good. There was only one minor thing with Anna's thoughts about Cecelia Townsend, that snapped me out of the book when I read it, because it seemed to be contrary to what had been told to us just a bit earlier.Anyway Save My Soul is a great book. Go read it. :)
