Really, really good start to a series. Luv it.
Review 11/06/2011
The Plot - It's original, really original. Kaylee has a secret that no one knows. When she is near someone that is going to die she screams. Not just an 'I broke my foot scream' but a really, really 'tear up your throat scream'.
The Characters - This is a short story, so I couldn't know much of them. Nevertheless, it was enough to know that Keilee is a teen with More...

Ms. Vincent is a first-time author for me, and I'm really glad I got this book. I like the cover a lot too. It's a really short piece - only about 53 pages, and what a 53 pages it was!
I was completely intrigued the entire time I was reading it.

Nice, short story setting up Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series. I enjoyed this story and will definitely be reading the rest of the series. I loved the heroine Kaylee and how she struggled to deal with her ability to sense impending death.
She has a rather wry sense of humor and when her aunt sends her some clothes to the mental health institute, Kaylee puts on the clothes. Later, she notices that the sweatsuit is made of a sparkly material. She comments to herself: "Great. More...

This was a great short story! It's the prequal to a new series by one of my favorite authors. I'll admit that before I read it I thought that I probably wouldn't be interested. But I found that not only was I pulled in by the story, now I can't wait for the first book to be released. For those interested, you can download a free copy off of Vincent's website. I got a copy of the audiobook for free off of audible.com. This seems to be the start of a great new series!

In this novella we get a look into a very vulnerable time in Kaylee's life. Even though Kaylee is stuck in the metal ward her determination and strength start to show. She sets a goal, getting out, and tries her hardest to work towards that objective. Though she questions her sanity at times it doesn't stop her from trying to get out. I liked that Kaylee used humor to help her through a very difficult episode in her life. I also enjoyed how Kaylee dealt with with being in the hospital. She

RATING : 4.5 Annoyed, Angry, Frustrated at Aunt Val Stars!!!!
I felt very frustrated for Kaylee, reading this novella. I really enjoyed this novella as it made me feel more for her character than I probably have since reading the series. To wake up cuffed to a bed in the Mental Health Centre , scared and sore and confused.

"My Soul to Lose" is the prequel novella to Rachel Vincent's "Soul Screamers" series. I haven't read the series to date, but I have to say that it's a wonderful, eerie introduction that piqued my curiosity and interest in the series. The story centers around Kaylee Cavenaugh, a young woman afflicted with an odd series of panic attacks. Unfortunately, after a panic incident in the middle of the mall (and seeing shadows closing in over a boy in a wheelchair), Kaylee ends up

I have had no end of trouble trying to read this book on my Nook. First, it wouldn't load. Then, on the advice of the customer support guy, I moved it to the "my documents" portion of the Nook's drive. I could read it there, but it wasn't paginated. Also, it completely stalled out at about 2/3 of the way through the book, and the pages would no longer advance.

Now together, they plan their revenge on the unsuspecting Toby. But on a trip to the mall, a panic attack takes Kaylee, one like she's never had before.

I'd learned about the Soul Screamer series from someone who had reviewed one of the books on her blog. My Soul to Lose is a very brief (under 80 pages) prequel to the aforementioned three-part series. This short novella sets the stage for the rest of the series, by introducing its main character Kaylee Cavanaugh, a high school student with a unique and terrifying gift.

I have been wanting to read Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series since My Soul to Take was first released. However, due various reasons, I have been unable to buy it. Seeing as I had a few hours to spare, and after the high of finishing Prey, the fourth in Rachel's adult Shifters series, I thought I would give the prequel novella to the Soul Screamers series, My Soul to Lose a try.

Recently, Barnes & Noble's Free Fridays download offered Reaper by Rachel Vincent, a part of the Soul Screamer series. It looked pretty interesting, so I downloaded it and then decided that I needed to read the series up to Reaper before reading it. So, I started with the novella, My Soul to Lose, which was released as a prequel to the Soul Screamer series.

However, while at the mall, Kaylee has what feels like a panic attack and can't control the loud scream that comes from her.

Prequels have a very specific job - give you, as the reader, just enough of a taste of a series that you'll pull the bills out of your pocket to purchase the full book. So often, I've been unable to connect with the MC or its premise. Not so with this book! Rachel pulled me into the plot within four pages and created a real sense of empathy with Kaylee.
