Okay, normally I really don't like books where a guy and a girl eye-hump each other for 5 minutes and then decide they're the ones that Kiss song was written for. This book is no different.
At first I was a bit suspicious, because well... it's not like Nash noticed Kaylee before, so I didn't really know where the sudden interest comes from. But my suspicion faded pretty quickly, ahem.

I read the first book in Rachel Vincent’s urban fantasy series, “Shifters” a few years ago. I was not impressed, nor did I feel the urge to give it another try. But when I found out she’d written an urban fantasy YA series from friends on Goodreads, I figured, why not?
Kaylee Cavanaugh is a junior in high school who has felt the urge to scream uncontrollably on a few occasions, which she believes are panic attacks. Living with her seemingly oblivious aunt and uncle and her popular cou More...

(Mini review to avoid even the slightest bit of spoilage)
I couldn't put this book down, it was just the fix I needed to feed my YA addiction. I love how unique Kaylee's story is, it really pops in comparison to the hoard of para ya out there. Most importantly the world building was freaking brilliant, the characters were engaging and believable, and the romantic aspects were age appropriate.
And then there was Todd *sighs*, me likey Todd ; ).

"My Soul to Take" is, to my surprise, the first YA urban fantasy I've come across. Sort of a teen version of Kelley Armstrong's "Women of the Otherworld" series and Richelle Mead's Succubus books. The majority of the teen paranormal books on the market nowadays are straight romances, which means there is a lot of kissing, staring into each other's eyes, sleeping in the same bed (in a chaste way, naturally) and angst, and very little development of mythology or plot.

I’ll start by saying I wasn’t all that interested in reading this series. I have Irish and Scottish blood running through my veins; I have heard the stories of the Bean Sidhe my entire life. I know my mythology and when things stray too far from the written mythology I tend to get annoyed, so I had firmly decided to stay away from the series at all costs…well I was until I read a snippet from a post made by one of my Goodreads friends about someone named Nash, someone named Sabine and someone na

Phew. I managed to overcome two hurdles with reading this book. The first was to find a book that I could latch onto after riding my Shadowfever high. It seemed like everything that I picked up after SF wasn't holding my interest, and this was the first book to keep me interested.
The second was to finally find an author in which I would be able to read books from both their Young Adult and Adult series (you'd think this would be an easy feat, but often I find if I like their YA the More...

I have Rachel’s adult series sitting on my shelf, they still need to be read, but when the opportunity arose to read her debut YA novel, I knew I had to pounce! (That was totally a pun for her werecats novels, just in case you didn’t get that.)
This was an interesting start to a new series. The whole premise of soul screamers is very original and unique amongst the throng of ya paranormal novels. The beginning was slow, but with the amount of back story that Rachel had to do, it was a More...

...It was great fun to tag along with Nash and Kaylee as Kaylee learns about who she really is and what she can do. I adored Kaylee. I usually get annoyed with the main female lead because they do the dumbest things but that wasn't the case with Kaylee. If she did something that could be considered dumb, she had a good reason for doing it and I was A-okay with it. She shows the potential of growing into a powerful woman as she gets older and I can't wait to get to know more about her.

This is a very entertaining book. I'm eager to start the second book but it's hard to see where Soul Screamers can go from here. I thought the end of the book was tightly closed up and I have very little questions. There was most definitely no big cliffhanger here.

One of the biggest surprises from a novel that I have read in the longest time. I randomly picked up this at a mall and had no clue what it was about till I read the back and it sounded like an interesting premise compared to others. It was something new that I wanted to atleast give it a try and can I say.... wow lol.

You have no idea how much I have wanted to read this book! I am a massive fan of Rachel Vincent’s adult urban fantasy Shifters series, and just couldn’t wait to try out her YA urban fantasy Soul Screamers series. So when Harlequin Teen emailed me asking if I would like to review My Soul to Take, I jumped at the chance, and I’m so glad I did, because I absolutely loved it!

The story picks up from where My Soul to Lose left with Kaylee still unsure of why things are happening to her but she is certain that she is not crazy. She eventually meets Nash, a hot jock who hasn’t laid eyes on her until the night in Taboo. The two hit off and eventually Kaylee learns things from Nash that helped her realized and understand her situation and everything goes on from there.

Nun, nach diesem doch recht klischeehaften Klapptext habe ich nicht mit einer solchen Geschichte gerechnet. Sie ist so anders als erwartet und so viel besser als ich dachte. Natürlich habe ich einige sehr gute Rezensionen dazu gelesen, aber ich neige dazu mir meine eigene Meinung zu bilden, aber dieses Mal muss ich durchaus mit der Masse schwimmen und zugeben, dass es sich wirklich um ein richtig klasse Buch handelt.

OK. I thought i had a problem with books in which the main characters (girls) had no personality, no spine and no brain. Heck, I just contradicted myself. The girl's personality would actually linger about the fact that she HAD no spine nor brain.

There were some good points, and a lot of bad points about My Soul To Take. Firstly, the plot was interesting. There was a lot of potential for it to grow into something truly astounding. The first third was very promising. A girl starts uncontrollable screaming whenever someone is about to die. Now it seems like people are dropping dead for no reason. While the premonition factor has been played many times, the part about screaming definitely hasn't. With a plot like that, what could go wrong?

La portada y el título me trasmitieron buenísimas vibraciones desde el momento en que conocí la novela. La imagen y la combinación de colores me parece una preciosidad. La sinopsis también parecía interesante y contaba con elementos novedosos a mi parecer. Y, si bien el conjunto final me ha gustado, ha habido aspectos de la novela que han resultado demasiado descafeinados para mi gusto.
