I'm kind of surprised to say that I really enjoyed this book. Young adult isn't my normal cup of tea; however, there was something intriguing about the book description that made me request this title from NetGalley. I'm a sucker for the supernatural and this book has that in spades. The story did remind me a bit of Twilight...not that there are vampires, but the fact that our leading lady, Sophia, moves to a small-town with her Father and feels this strange connection to Michael, who seems to hate her, but is secretly drawn to her. Of course, he can't reveal what he is, but Sophia sees to much and asks too many questions. Then, enter Dante, our other suitor who is determined to win the lovely Sophia's soul. The book is definitely written in teen-speak, but I think it actually added to the charm of the story. The characters were funny and believable and though the story is familiar, it does set itself apart in the end. Though of course I was hoping for Sophia to be drawn to the light, aka Michael, but the author did a good job of making Dante slightly sympathetic. The soul of the love of his life has reincarnated in Sophia...what a fantastic mess this has created. I cannot wait to see what's next for these three in Awaken , book two in the new The Soulkeepers Trilogy.I received a copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
