This book was put on hold for a very looong time, I misplaced it and finally got the urge to look for it since Smut Slut Fest is about to happen and I saw Tigris_Eden and Larissa_Sarah talking about it on Twitter or they might have suggested to me or I might have seen it on their blog or all of the scenarios mentioned. So I thought what the heck, it is time to give werewolves a chance. I favor vampires greatly, there's something about changing into something fury makes them less attractive to me, but the sex scene, I will now agree that the vamps got nothing on the weres.
While book 4 keeps me entertained, I was thrown in to confusion, the anceint gods of darkness did not appeal to me very well. I did however appreciate the horrors that they portray bdsm till you die is what they crave for. Talk about the highest level of carnal pleasure, I don't think anyone can top that.
The dhampire nature of Riley still draws me to this series, and Arthur made sure that I never forget. I wish she would lose the repetitive phrases everytime Riley feels the unwanted desire she feels. I get it alreay she is a werewolve and that is part of her and even when her life is at stake she couldn't help on what she is.
On the romance side. Quinn is beginning to irritate me, seriously when is his male ego and stupid werewolf issues going to end? While I am all about Team Quinn, for Riley's sake I think she should give Kellen a chance on the next book. Is that the case? Wait don't answer that. I'll start reading now...

So far I've seen nothing but good reviews about this book. Praises for Suzanne Young, indeed it is. The plot revolves around cute cheerleaders by day spy at night. They call themselves S.O.S Society of Smitten Kittens, they decided to omit the K because it doesn't sound right. The S.O.S is lead by head cheer Tessa Crimson.
What are they spying about?
They are a non-profit organization that gathers data / evidence; visual, audio and written (Yes, they have sophisticated state of the art spy gear. Apparently their clients give generous donations) to prove if their client's beau is guilty or not of cheating. Sadly all cases came back as 100% cheater. Tesaa was so into this whole thing that when Chloe Ferril transferred to Washington High and openly flirts and prances her ware around her boyfriend Aiden, of course she got paranoid and suspicious.
But I can't help but notice Chloe's brother, Christian. Intriguing, with a stalker like attitude that kind of creeps me out.
But who is really right for Tessa, the boy that she's inlove with, who in return says he loves her or the boy who knows her secret?
Here's what I don't like about the book. Too sweet for me. I am annoyed at Tessa's little Ms. Perfect attitude. She calls out her cheer peers, and her boyfriend everytime they cuss. And remains polite even though te insult was right in front of her face. I think after reading this I prefer the cheerleaders with rotten attitude. Maybe it's my choice of heroine too. I like them awfully independent and bad ass. The expressions used to substitute the cuss words: Strawberry Smoothie whipped cream!, Good Gravy! Peanut Butter Sandwiches! Butterscotch! Apple Dippers! Fudgesicle! - corny much?!
Over all it was fun, adventurous, humorous, fast paced read with quirky characters and lots of sexy innuendos. Here's to hoping more character development and more sleuthing in the future.

My Soul to Take is the official start of Rachel k Vincent's YA series. Like I said Kaylee let's out a scream like a banshee, and yes she is exactly one according to the- she is book bean sidhe (banshee), I love mythology and I mentally kicked myself for missing this one. I must have dozed off when our english teacher talked about it. No clue on what a banshee is exactly (except that they do this terrible wailing), this book schooled me about their basic element...
Moving back to Kaylee's world. The major thing that happened was at the start of the book, when she and her best friend Emma snuck out to go to a club named Taboo where Emma's sister works as a bar tender. That night she saw another symptoms of a pre-departed (someone that is about to die). A grief so powerful, it devastated her, a panic overwhelming it shock her very soul and then shadows surrounding the pre-departed and finally the wail that will make your ear drums shatter, only that night it did not happened. She met a senior named Nash who calmed her down by easing her pains and controlling the screams that threatened to be heard from three blocks away. I knew something wasn't right about Nash either (the good kind) but I couldn't really guess what he is since, I am too ignorant about Kaylee's nature. But like Kaylee, I think I'm going to collect him as my fictional boyfriend. LOL.
A world where our protagonist can tell who's going to die. Intriguing plot with interesting characters and mythological / supernatural creatures that has surprises along the way. Romance, suspense and a foreboding mystery. Another good read, definitely adding this on my series to follow up on reading. This is my first Rachel Vincent book and I'm glad I like it.
