Review: Souls Estranged by Ann B. Cole

From Amazon:
SOULS ESTRANGED: Book Two of The Souls Trilogy 

Back from their adventures in Souls Entwined, Sam Daggett begins a new relationship with Gretta Dobbs, whose memories of their time traveling experience have been erased. Determined to never leave her again, Sam vows to help Gretta, despite the bad luck curse on her heirloom ring. Within hours of their return, tragedy strikes. 

As Sam becomes the third victim of the bad luck curse, Gretta’s memories of her time spent in the past begin to return. Unable to remember more than snippets, she realizes that anyone close to her is in grave danger. In order to keep Sam and her family safe, she flees in the middle of the night. 

Finding the perfect summer job in the back hills of Virginia, Gretta unknowingly crosses paths with a serial killer. With guidance from their ancestral spirits, Roxana and Katarina, Sam desperately attempts to find Gretta before the curse strikes again. 

My Thoughts:
Earlier this year I read book #1, Souls Entwined, so when I found out Souls Estranged was due for a release, I was over the moon to continue and get to know Sam and Gretta outside of Lorenzo and Anya.
Souls Entwined has quite a different feel to it that book #1, mostly because Sam and Gretta don't time travel. But we do see Roxana and Katarina doing some soul entwining.
The suspense really gets moving when Gretta remembers the curse on her ring and runs away. I do love Sam the most of all the characters, he's fiercely loyal and fights with all his might to be with Gretta, which is something he had in common with Lorenzo that really shines in this book.
I think the only thing that really jarred me was when Roxana and Katarina entwined with random people. It made sense why they did, but I really just wanted Sam and Gretta, especially with how things were left with Gretta.
I thoroughly enjoyed continuing this series, and eagerly await the next book. It's a clean read, and well plotted out.
