*Happy happy dance.* For fans the Soul Screamers series, this book will either be everything you want...or everything you feared most. I fall firmly into the "incoherently happy" camp after reading it.

Soul Screamers as a whole is kind of a funny animal. The mythology is pretty unusual and I really like the unique world that Rachel Vincent creates with her banshees, maras, grim reapers, and demon breath. The stories are admittedly fairly straightforward (think Morganville ra More...

asdkjsdfh!!!

I'm speechless. This was so fucking good. Damn. Daaaaaamn.

Might review it later, though.. After I reread it about 349587 times..


Thank you, Rachel Vincent. This feels like all my patience through the last four books and two novellas gets rewarded.

***May contain spoilers***

It is inevitable people are going to be heartbroken by this book because Kaylee has to make some really serious and life-changing decisions to make. That being said, the heartbreak that you are bound to experience while reading this book doesn't make you dislike the book one bit, if anything, it makes you love the world that Rachel has created even more than you thought possible.

It becomes evident that Rachel has grown as an author tremendously More...

**DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ MY SOUL TO STEAL**
Before I read the book:
This is how it could possibly end:

Tod + Kaylee
Nash + Sabine and
Alec + Emma

And, oddly enough, I would be okay with that. :)

After I read the book:

I really hope the author doesn't put Kaylee and Tod together, because if she does I think I will be finished with this series. Dating brothers is just wrong!

If Kaylee doesn't end up with Tod in the Soul Screamers series, I'd take off Rachel Vincent in my list of favorite authors..LOL (but so far, I still love her!)
...I just love Kaylee and Tod, I don't like Nash for her and rather let Sabine have him.

This book totally took me by surprise!
I was only hoping for more of Kaylee/Tod flirting but never imagined that they'll end up together in this book. And I really did my 'dorky dance' when Kaylee kissed Tod.. AHH M More...

Every time Kaylee Cavanaugh thinks things are beginning to settle down at Eastlake High, something always happens. When she suddenly has to fight against singing for a soul in the middle of her new math teacher’s class, she can hardly believe it.

She knew that as long as the Netherworld’s base of operations sat just below the thin veil that separated the school in her world from theirs, things wouldn’t be quiet forever, but she hoped they would remain normal for just a little while long More...

I don't know but I was just thinking, couldnt it be possibly that Kaylee might end up as a reaper.. I mean it would only seem right...




This book can go alot of ways....
Todd ends up with Kaylee..
Nash ends up with Sabine...
Todd has been assigned to collect Sabine...
Possibilities are endless. I do hope that Kaylee just dumps Nash. He is not good for her! Everything about him says selfish and undeserving. A More...

this book for all the awards.....
* contain slight spoilers*

Prior to If I Die, Soul Screamers had always been a B series for me. When the books came out they were never must reads and I was never totally invested in them like some other series.

If I Die changed all that. In this book Rachel Vincent upped the ante in a major way and this series has become one of my favorites in the genre.

I'm not going to go into details about the plot suffice to say

Updated!!

Before reading...

I was just wondering about the speculation of a possible relationship between Tod and Kaylee, and how the best way to make it work would be -and according to some will be- her turning into a reaper.

And while I agree that there is probably something there between Kaylee and Tod even though Kaylee is too involved with Nash to notice and Tod is probably in denial.

(I'm thinking that even when he's not completely in denial, More...

In the acknowledgments, Rachel states that she always says "this is her best one yet!" but with this one... She is 826% correct! IF I DIE was outstanding, it truly was the best one yet. If I Die had everything you could have ever asked for: romance, anger, death, heartbreak, struggles, laughs, triumphs, fights, and super smexy times! I could have not asked for a better fifth book. I am anxiously waiting for BEFORE I WAKE because I absolutely need more an cannot wait to see what happens More...

Let me just begin with WOW!!! I love the Soul Screamers series but this book was by far the best. And there are still at least two more books scheduled for this series. I literally spent a couple of hours last night and most of this morning reading the book and hated to put it down for even a minute. It was a roller-coaster ride of shocks, tears, laughter, heart-break, unexpected surprises, a few hope More...

OOOOOOHHH!! Maybe author gave in to requests of the masses, maybe she planned this outcome all along, whatever the way, I thank her for giving me what I hoped would happen so much and didn't dare to believe that it could, I thank her for breaking this pattern of YA authors, which is that the first boy a heroine meets is "the one".
I thank her also for explaining Nash's character better to me, I didn't understand him, I didn't relate to him before, he seemed like a cartoon - drawn More...

If you haven't read books 1-4, be aware that this will totally be spoilery for you!

This is going to be a very messy review. It cannot be helped!

If I Die takes place just a few weeks after the events of My Soul to Steal. Sabine is still in the picture and a constant annoyance for Kaylee and Nash's relationship. Just as Kaylee begins to think things may be settling down, the new math te More...

So I have no idea how to review this one without revealing major spoilers! Like I can’t even talk about pretty much the whole second half of the book so this review is going to be short and sweet. It was fantastic the end!

Ok but seriously I’ll try to do my best here. I loved this book it’s the best in the series! We get the whole crew back and tons of sexy times I won’t say with whom. I actually started to like Sabine in this book and Nash is starting to redeem himself in my eyes whi More...

Ok I am looking forward to this book I have read all of the others. I don't know what will happen in the book but I do hope that Kaylee and Nash have a chance with their relationship. The reason I say that is because every relationship goes through rough times and at that age it is going to happen. Nash in my opinion is not a horrible guy and if you think he is Tod is not much better and neither is Alec. So if you are hoping that Kaylee will end up with a good guy then you should be thinking abo More...

Oh, wow. Where to start, what to say...?

I'll keep it short and sweet, shall I? A few hours after finishing the book, I have to hand it to Rachel Vincent: she managed to make me go from loving to loathing a character in five books. That's no small feat, considering usually my love for fictitious men never wavers. But she did it. And to be honest, it wasn't even five full books, but more like three. Or something.
ANYWYAY. I'm babbling. What I mean to say is - THANK THE GOOD LORD I More...

This novel deserves to be read WITHOUT spoilers. Believe me, if there is ever a book you want to experience with every page, it is this one.

As with every other one of Rachel Vincent’s novels, “IF I Die” is fast moving and quite the emotional rollercoaster. Straight from the beginning, Vincent is already setting up the drama. Not even one chapter in and the Kaylee has already dealt with death and learns she only has six days to live. How does Kaylee deal with her impending death? Oh, s More...

All the awards. I was bawling my eyes out at 1 o clock this morning. Until 2.

I really shouldn't write reviews for this series, because I end up squealing over it and never get across the points that I wanted to make. Nonetheless, I just had to jot down my thoughts on Rachel Vincent’s new book, as it’s my favourite series and I must share the love. Please don’t take this review too seriously, like I said, I’m just jotting! There will be no spoilers in this review. I More...

HALLELUJAH! I know that's an odd thing to say, but If I die can only be described as the soul redeemer of the series (pun intended). It's been a bumpy road, but a road I would travel infinity times if this book was my destination. The other books were not bad, in fact they are quite addictive, but some of the stories I liked alot more and others alot less. I guess up until this point I was indifferent.

This book was 100% in your face Rachel Vincent. I loved it! There were so many time More...

Will the real author please stand up? I mean really. If I could give an award for Best Author of the Year, I give to Ms. Rachel Vincent. Not because I am sucking up to her, but for real, her writing is amazing. So amazing that it will burn you with pure awesomeness! I admit that it took me so time to gather up the guts to read this book. Why? I was scared. Why? Let's just say that Ms. Vincent writing is so good, I was scared to read it. I had know idea where she take me next in her writing world More...
