Laura Kreitzer (Goodreads Author)

When Gabriella decides to finally let her angels know that she is alive, Joseph and an unexpected friend help her.

I enjoyed this book (#2 in the Timeless series) much more than the first book. The style of the writing seemed more mature and a lot of the spacing issues I had with the first one were taken care of. The only formatting issue I will note is the use of italics in weird places...they weren't dream sequences or inner dialogue. In some cases, the italics started in the middle of a sentence or in the middle of a conversation. Maybe this will be better in book #3.

Let me start off by saying, I absolutely love this cover. The fantastical colors and creativity behind the artistic value is spot on. Now, last week, I presented my review for the first installment, Shadows of the Sun. My overall reaction has been surprisingly delightful, considering all the angel books I've read thus far. The sequel starts out with Gabriella continuing her illuminator plan while simultaneously dodging the soul stalker's deathly threats. In the first novel, I was fortunate enoug...more

WARNINGS: Laura Kreitzer drives me absolutely insane when I read her books.
Before I get to the actual book, there is just something I have to get off my chest about this author and her writing. It drives me absolutely insane when I read her books. (In the absolutely best way ever.) The emotions from the characters are displayed all over the page and whatever they feel, you can't help but feel. Being a book addict is an understatement when it comes to these books. I lost hours of sleep. I ticked...more

Another great book by Laura Kreitzer!!
You have to...have to read the first book "Shadow of the Sun" in order to pick up this book they go hand in hand. This book is just as amazing as the first!!!

She remembers the battle and dying, but somehow here she is. Being away from Andrew proves harder than Gabriella could have ever imagined. She goes to Joseph who agrees to hel...more
I'm wondering if i will find something i don't like at those tours.
Soul Stalker was one of the best from the ones i've read so far. It has action, romance and Laura Kreitzer new how to keep up the interest of the reader.
While at start was difficult for me, after 1-2 chapters i got really into it. Each chapter was even better than the previous. The whole mystery of the story was setted up so nicely and was that make the difference from other angels books. Well, yeah it had a romance with its diff...more

Soul Stalker is the second book in Laura Kreitzer's Timeless series. It is superbly written and captivating story. However, don't try to read this book if you have not read the first book, Shadow of the Sun. You will not understand or enjoy this book until you experience the first one.
Once again, Laura writes a captivating and complex story. Her characters are very real and complex. I love the interactions the characters have with each other. The writing is excellent. Laura definitely knows how...more

Soul Stalker is the second book by Laura Kreitzer that I've read this year, and I can now safely say she's one of my favorite, author's you probably haven't heard of but should have.
This book is the second in the Timeless series. Book one is Shadow Of The Sun and I highly recommend that you read this one first. These stories aren't really stand alone books, though you can certainly read Soul Stalker and still enjoy it. Reading the first book, though will make it easier to understand the action i...more

I know I'm a little late in putting a review out here, but I did want to mention a few things about Soul Stalker (#2 in the Timeless series after Shadow of the Sun).
It does seem to be written better than the first book, so if you weren't sure if you wanted to continue the series after Shadow of the Sun, you might want to give it another shot.
There are a few scenes where things don't seem to quite fit together, such as when they finish an epic-scale battle, and then call a taxi when they need to...more

WARNING , SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR SHADOW OF THE SUN AND SOUL STALKER
‘Soul Stalker’; the second book in the Timeless series by Laura Kreitzer, starts pretty much where the first book left off – with Gabriella ‘dead’ and the Angels- specifically Andrew and Ehno, making this discovery. Unfortunately, Gabriella herself remains separated from “her” Angels- and needs to find her own way back to her soul mate- and that way is also facilitated by Joseph, the FBI ag...more

Soul Stalker is a wonderful addition to the Timeless series. It is full of action and adventure. I could not put this book down! It is just that awesome. I loved that I never knew what was going to happen next because there were so many twists and turns. The book is fast-paced and most definitely thrilling and exciting. Of course, it is also entertaining.
I also love the characters because they are amazing and lovable. Gabriella is a strong heroine who has a great sense of humor with some sarcasm...more

There are some series where the first book seems to be the best. The others are okay, but for some reason just don't seem to measure up to what first drew you in. In this instance, that is not the case. In fact, I think Laura Kreitzer will have a difficult time topping the first two books in the Timeless series.
Soul Stalker picks up right where Shadow of the Sun left off; with Gabriella showing up at Joseph's door in need of help. Now that she's decided to find the angels that completely changed...more

My impression on the book is its like playing tug of war, You keep getting pulled forward and back. The whole time while reading, I didn't want to stop. I wanted to know what was coming next or what was going to happen or what did happen. The story is beautifully written, the descriptions are heavenly. I feel that Laura gives us a main story but also tells a minor story in the background.
I will try and review without giving the book away. Gabriella is alive, but no one knows this. Her goal is to...more

Before I begin, the four star rating is for the story, the way it was told; the characters and the plot. That being said, it should lose a star for once again having parts (in the kindle edition) where entire sections are just missing, making you wonder if you missed something important. I thought it was just a problem with the first book, but this one had the same issue. Ms. Kreitzer, please resolve this issue so your readers can enjoy the FULL story.
The timeless series are an 'Awesome' read, don't want to give too much away, but lets just say I enjoyed them so much I have read all 3 books in the series in about a week, and I look forward to the next two :-)
Review: Haha yay! I'm so glad I finally get to review this book considering how I finished it back in February when I got it. This sequel to Shadow of the Sun is brilliant. Krietzer's writing style is flawless and her characters jump off the page, chase you down, hunt you and keep you begging for more. No I'm serious, they sort of live in my dreams, especially Gabriella.

You know I loved the story I did it was great..my goat is Gabby man, she was too much the DD (damsel in distress). I understand she couldn't be her usual "zingy" self since her "kindred soul" was taken from her, but still she whined and died too much....seriously when ppl keep falling around her you would think she would have some outburst of power. I just wish she lived up to all the expectations the angels have for her including living up to the unanimous (sp) phrase "your worth it". I will ad...more
Another great book by Laura! This second installment in the Timeless series had me laughing out loud, and sitting on the edge of my seat. The characters that i found so endearing in the first book really opened up, gaining my loyalty hook, line, and sinker. Only warning is that although the book ends on a high note, it leaves you hanging and mad that you dont have the next one lol! Luckily Timeless #3 is available in a couple months, so at least you wont have long to wait. Team Patrick!!!
Excerpt: "One of the greatest things about this series is the casual narrative style, which makes the novel feel very authentic and personal. Yet, Soul Stalker seems to have lost some of the perfect flow and pacing that the first novel possessed. The writing is still excellent in the tense action scenes, though, only slipping in some of the especially emotional moments. Though the flow is off, Soul Stalker still tells a captivating story filled with lovable characters."

Dude. This cover is awesome. All the covers in this series are beautiful!
I'm seeing lots of typos in her work, I think she needs a better editor. Besides that, the way this author writes completely has me enthralled.
Enjoyable, a good sequel to Shadow of the Sun!
Love this whole series!!
Overall rating 1.5 stars. I really hate to give out less than stellar reviews, but I really could not get into this book. I was hoping that I would like it more than the first one, but I didn't. The writing at times seemed a bit amateurish to me, and it read a lot like a rough draft, and I was disappointed because I really do like the concept of the story. It was just hard for me to read it.
Boring at the beginning but the last episodes was awesome. Book 3 will be something greater :D will gabriella becoming an evil b.tch :D
I like the plot and the characters but I can't help but get hung up on all the grammatical errors. About midway through the book I just couldn't stand it anymore. I picked the book back up after reading another book by a different author. I agree with another reader who said that this book comes off like a first draft.
