Susan did it again. Free Souls was WOW! I expected Kira to step up to her role as heroine but not like this. Even though I'm good at guessing, few events turned out anywhere near how I thought they would. The closest I came to a prediction was the romance that started early on and a pattern of setbacks building to the middle crises. Throughout the book, serious action and plot twists kept me riveted. Surprises kept coming until the very end which tied up more loose ends than I knew existed. Whew More...

So excited for the release!
I'm not usually "team secondary romantic male interest", and have never really understood it. But, so help me, if Raf makes a miraculous recovery and Julian gets pushed aside I might loose it! ;)

Although I have loved the first 2 in the series (OPEN MINDS & CLOSED HEARTS), this one fell a tad short for me. Just a tad. Not that I hated it...oh no. Not at all. It just wasn't as great as the first two. I think it was the first half of the book which seemed to drag some. But still, I adored this book and where the author ran with the story line. It really is beyond different and unique and readers will love that about the series.

Wa-hoo! The final installment of the Mindjack Trilogy! I've been loving this series and I'm so happy that Susan allowed me to read and review Free Souls for her. She has done a remarkable job with these books. I just love them. Oh. Have I said that already?
This series has all the great elements that I look for in a book. There is action and suspense, good character development, believable relationships and dialogue and that bit of romance that my heart craves. The constant action and energy in t More...

I started reading this series for two reasons. One, the covers are amazing. Seriously, look at all three of them. The covers hooked me and made me squirm with possibilities. Yes, I'm a sucker for a good cover.
Two, I'm pretty sure the virtual box set was on sale and I saw an ad for it. I say that because if Susan Kaye Quinn happens by I want her to know that the sale, and the ad, worked. I'd never heard of her until I saw the ad, with that cover, and clicked the link which brought me to the sale. More...

Four months have passed since Kira left home to join Julian’s Jacker Freedom Alliance, but the hole in her heart still whistles empty where her boyfriend Raf used to be.

I zipped through FREE SOULS in a little over a day, because Susan Kaye Quinn wrote a thrilling, hard-to-put-down finale to her Mindjack Trilogy. I love the science elements of this story based on the premise people's brains become altered due to medications in water supplies. Kira, a mindjacker who's been hunted, imprisoned and experimented on, grows into a kick-ass warrior in this story. Besides the action and suspense, there is a heartwrenching love story and a substantial twist to the plot at More...

I was very lucky and very pleased to be one of the first people to read this last book in the awesome Mindjack Trilogy. Seriously, I was dancing around when the almost final draft hit my inbox.
So what do I have to say? I loved it. Truly. It rates right behind the first book in the trilogy, which is one of my all-time favorite books. This is a fitting end to the trilogy with lots of action, character development and a very smoldering kiss.

Free Souls is a book I have been looking forward to reading, but has also been tinged with sadness, being the last book in this trilogy. Free Souls picks up where Closed Hearts ended, Kira, Julian and the rest of the jackers are still trying to find a way to make it safe for themselves andotherjackers. Unbeknown to Julian, Kira is still looking for Kestrel and she will stop at nothing to ensure he gets what he deserves. I loved the ongoing list she has of ways to kill him and was amused by some More...

Thrilling ending to a well-written trilogy. I enjoyed following the characters and the twists in plot as Kira and Julian try to stop the government from destroying the mindjackers. More romance, intrigue, and action abound in this last book in the Mindjack trilogy.
Kudos to this indie author for having many people and an editor review her book. It reads like a proper, professionally edited book, which is not something I can say for many of the indie books that I have read.

Won as a first read. What a great end to the series!! I love how Susan makes her series seem so possible, which gives the story an extra thrill. I couldn't put this down once I started because I just had to know what came next. Quinn keeps readers on their toes wondering what's going to happen next and holding their breathe rooting for Kira and her gang. Kira is such a strong female protagonist and the book just pulls you in. Five stars from me but don't pick it up unless you have time to read a More...

I loved this series! Kira finally steps up and takes her role. With fantastic powers that come with major blowback, she is able to overcome many challenges but can't seem to fill the black hole of her heart since Raf. Thankfully her life does improve in the end and I felt like there was enough closer to end the story properly. I didn't give it 5 stars because I had a hard time believing her "fast" ability.

I was quite pleasantly surprised to discover how much I enjoyed this end. Usually I have major issues with ends, esp of series (too many die, no one dies, the MC acts OOC, the MC acts weak, there's deus ex machina, etc). None of that happened here.
My one real complaint about the books is that they are too short. I don't mean just page numbers, but in feel as well. The story plot/arc feels small; everything happens in just a couple days or so. With conflicts this massive (world shattering), I'd e More...

Well WOW!! I sat and read this book in a day! I had been so exited to read it and it didn't disappoint! When I wasn't crying or smiling like id gone demens I was sat with my mouth seriously hanging open! Unpredictable and wonderful! PERFECT end to a fantastic series! and I for one will be anxiously awaiting future works from Susan Kaye Quinn

Despite my annoyance with the authors style I loved the story of this future society. The characters were authentic and I couldn't put the books down. Unfortunately the ending of this book was so rushed. It felt as if the climax of the book went just shy of the last chapter and then instead of continuing in the same fashion, a summary of what happened next wrapped everything up. But it was in a final "I am done writing this book....finally!" Sort of way.

If you're looking for an action-packed, intense thrill ride into an intriguing dystopian future - this is it! The plot was riveting, the characters truly identifiable and the setting undeniably unique and impressively detailed. I love not being able to predict where the story will go, and Susan did not disappoint! Clever twists and turns were expertly placed throughout this series, holding my rapt attention (to the detriment of domestic duties). The entire Mindjack Trilogy pulled me into its wor More...

This was a really good conclusion to the series. The first book was lacking in action and this book made up for it. The author tied everything together in a brilliant way. I think a little more romance tension and building would have brought more life to the book. Stoicism directly into love is not something that I think is endearing. Overall, it was a nice read.

This was a stunning wrap-up to the Mindjack trilogy. Full of twists and turns, this book will keep you turning the pages with bated breath, and possibly losing sleep to find out what happens next. I've loved all the books, but this one knocks it out of the park.
Jan 15, 2013
The best book of the three, I believe. Free Souls does a great job of resolving the most pressing issues for all of the main characters in the series. Kira matures quite a bit, and comes to terms with her past, ready to move on into the future. That future was not presented as happily ever after nonsense - thank you, Susan! A balance and truce are achieved instead, giving people at all stages of mind evolution the opportunity to work toward acceptance for all in society. It's a believable end to More...

The trilogy was good but I was a little burnt out by the time I reached the final book. That is not to say it failed in any way to transport me to the drama and heartache in Kira's world. The ending was pretty good as well. Just seemed like it dragged in some places
Mar 13, 2013
Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!! This was such an amazing ending to the trilogy!! I loved the adventure and excitement that occurred!! I`m gonna miss the mind-jacking world so much but I'm glad about how Kira`s story ended off.

Weee!!! Finally finished the series and it was THE BEST!..:3 This last installment of the Mindjack series was highlighted with great sci-fi action, drama, suspense and of course, romance. Honestly though, there ware some parts that i thought was quite dragging but the author did a great thing in making the plot and story go forward in a more thrilling way. My praise goes out to you Susan Kaye Quinn for brilliantly concluding the series, I could not have thought of a better way! I just loved this More...

The third installment still kept my interest. It was a good read, overall. I'm not sure how I feel about then ending, though. I see why she ended it that way, but it still bothers me.

Perfect ending to a great series! Some questions are answered and others may always remain a mystery. Either way this has been a great series and the final book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

Brest ending to the series, although I'll always want more! I'm team Julian all the way and loved the role he played in this book! Also loved the plot twists and turns!

Free Souls is a brilliant conclusion to this series. I don't think anyone expected that ending. Four for you, Mrs Quinn.

This final book of the Mindjack series did not disappoint. I loved the new mind boggling concepts introduced in Free Souls.

Excellent ending of the series! Loved the intricate plot, the romantic aspect, the ending - everything! Highly recommended series!!!
