Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Kelsey

Most movie sequels are not as good as the first (especially true for
Disney sequels, like those for Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Bambi,
etc.), and unfortunately this was the case with My Soul to Save. When I read My Soul to Take last week, I was captivated and thrown
into Kaylee's banshee adventures. But with the second book in the Soul Screamers trilogy, I wasn't that
impressed with the plot or the characters. It all seemed a bit dull to
me.

But I did keep
reading it. And that's saying something, because when I really don't
like the book, I don't torture my brain by continuing.

I also
wasn't interested in Nash's character in both of the books. I thought
that Tod was way more intriguing, with his sharp comebacks and sarcastic
wit. Nash was a bit of a flat character.

Kaylee brings back
memories of Bella in the Twilight
saga. She is not confident in herself. Yeah, I realize she's a teenage
girl and is self-conscious, but in a book it gets rather annoying when
she's always putting herself down. Kaylee was also wondering numerous
times why Nash would want to be with her when he's so much better
looking and can have any girl he wants. (Ring any bells?)

I
will, however, look out for My Soul to
Steal, the third (and last?) book of the series, which comes out
June 1, 2010. I can only hope that the series gets better rather than
worse.
