#Review: Sacred Souls – Kali Rose Schmidt
Dealing with the recent fallout, Savannah now has to contend with the fact that her days are numbered. She’s fallen for Damon, something she never thought would ever be possible. After all, he’s a vampire. Vampires and witches don’t mix, or so the council says. Determined in making the most of the situation at hand, her life is soon turned topsy-turvy when chaos descends upon her quiet town.
Sacred Souls picks up where the first book leaves off. Savannah has been given a set time for her to come to terms with what the council means to do. To make matters worse, bodies are disappearing right and left. The culprit for the phenomenon is unknown, one she’ll need to uncover if she and her friends are to put a stop to the craziness that now surrounds them.
Kali has penned quite an interesting premise, one I enjoyed from the moment I started reading the book. I found myself immersed in it, imagining everything that happens every step of the way. I’d been hoping Savannah’s previous aloofness would wither. That she’d be more open to interacting with those she claims she loves and wants in her life. To my dismay, she still maintains that slight coldness, though I did note that she’s changed a bit since the end of book one. There’s hope for her yet, I think. We’ll see once book three rolls around.
The author has created a complex world. One where the residents of Greystone, North Carolina do their best to keep their noses out of things they don’t understand. The situations Savannah find herself in are difficult ones. Situations that may yet prove to be her undoing. Nevertheless, she refuses to brush aside that which she believes in.
I do like the fact that the author has made Savannah resilient, even if she isn’t that likable of a person. The character refuses to back down from a fight, even if she’s been pushed into it reluctantly. Thinking on it now, I do think that might account for Savannah’s aloofness. She wants nothing to do with the innate power running through her veins. She’s not a witch by choice since she was born into the powers she harbors deep within.
Overall, Sacred Souls does tidy a few loose ends left behind from book one. I know there’s more coming for Savannah. Whatever happens, I know the character has it within her to make things right at every turn. An intriguing book, it merits catching up with Savannah and the life she leads while skulking through the shadows.
SYNOPSIS
Book two in the Dead Souls series!
“Reinventing the paranormal romance genre with a wicked twist!” – ARC Review
The much anticipated sequel to the #1 Amazon bestseller, “All the Dead Souls”, has arrived at last.
Savannah and Damon have one year before the Vampire Council and Witch Coven come to deliver the verdict on their relationship: Will they be forbidden to take one another as lovers, and risk death if they disobey? Or will they be granted permission to stay together, forced to figure out if their strained romance is even worth saving?
At the moment, it’s the least of their concerns.
In the quiet town of Greystone, North Carolina, the dead are digging themselves out of their graves and people are dying in the backyard of churches. Cross steeples are turning upside down, and it’s nearly impossible to tell friend from foe. A man who claims to be a warlock shows up at Novel Madness offering his help, and Savannah wonders if there’s more to him than meets the eye – and whether his own dark secrets could endanger her whole world.
Haunted by the memories of her past and trying to come to grips with her shaky future, Savannah is now thrust into a battle against dark forces that threaten to destroy everything she holds dear. Armed with nothing more than uncertain magic and a paranormal agency at her back, she must put the evil, sinister things in her life back where they belong, before they pull her down with them.
At the end of it all – will she only be a ghost of the person she once was?
