Synopsis:       When a person dies, sometimes, they are given judgment and sent straight to heaven or hell. Most sit in purgatory while a select few are given a second chance at life. If they screw up and awaken the monster that sleeps dormant inside us all, it’s my job to reclaim their soul and set the balance of nature right again. My name is Devalynn Rose. After my death, I have been tasked as a Soul Collector.
                                                       Kale swept into my afterlife when he got his second chance. While watching his judgment, I cannot unlock my eyes from his. I am left stunned with feelings of déjà vu.

Kellin is also a Collector. We connect on a deeper level and I can’t help the feelings that overwhelm me for him.
                                                       Reclaiming souls is a faulty system that desperately needs repair. I am left with two options...to lose my memory and reform the system or keep my memory and nothing changes. With time ticking away, I need to make a choice...but which one?

Follow Devalynn as she fights her way through her afterlife and tries to save those that mean the most to her.

It didn’t take long for my heart to stop beating. My eyes closed for the last time and death became me...but it wasn’t the end of my life. ~Devalynn
Excerpt:
I followed him to the edge of everything, where the stars began and the pavement ended. I stopped, frozen to the spot. “It’s okay, you won’t fall. Nothing is going to happen to you,” he reached out for my hand as he jumped out and onto a star. I landed on one behind him and he was right. I didn’t fall. “This is beautiful,” I huffed out as I followed behind him and jumped from star to star.“Just wait, it gets better,” he yelled back to me. I jumped onto a small one, my foot barely fitting on it. I wobbled and put my hands out to balance me. We did this for a while. Before I knew it, we were completely surrounded by nothingness. There were some planets around us and we sat on one of the moons as it circled around. For the first time all day, I felt relaxed and completely calm.“So, do you like it?” he cocked his head to the side, gauging my answer as he rested back on his elbows.“I love it. Thank you for bringing me here. I needed this. No one around, nothing to bother me; I don’t have to think about working.” I laid back on the ground of the small moon and watched the stars swirl around above us. I counted three shooting stars within just seconds of each other. “Do you like it up here?”“It beats being down there, that’s for sure. Why?”“I don’t know, just wondering. I want to remember earth and what it was like to be alive but I can’t.”“Dev, you have to stop beating yourself up over it.”“I know.” He laid down next to me and held my hand. There we were; two unbeating hearts, two souls, two people just floating around the solar system. I never wanted to leave that moment.#

Our Review for Reclaiming Souls
Originally written for NaNoWriMo, which is enough in itself to warrant a medal. (I know, because I have tried it) Reclaiming Souls is the unusual story of Devalynn, a girl whose life was brutally ended. She finds herself in the afterlife, with a job as a Soul Collector.She quite likes the responsibility of her new job and meets some interesting people. Along the way, she meets someone she thinks she once loved on Earth, stirring up all kinds of forgotten and confusing sensations. Added to which are the feelings she has discovered for another Soul Collector. This is a story with a strong moral message of good versus evil, and also a complex love triangle in a place where physical love is unecessary.Devalynn finds herself choosing between a good friend and the one she might have loved on Earth. A hard decision, considering she doesn't remember the half of it. You follow Devalynn as she fights her way through the afterlife as she tries to save the lost souls and the people she loves, and find yourself cheering her on.Reclaiming Souls is written with a lot of humour and engaging dialogue. The fact that it is destined to be a trilogy means we will enjoy following Devalynn on her journey for a better, happier life. I, for one, will pre-order the next installment as soon as possible.
