I enjoy the story line of this series; it embodies all of the teenage angst I expect from a YA Paranormal Romance. My biggest beef with this book was the repetitive use of phrases. The author used "scrubbed his/her hands over his/her face" at least half a dozen times (which is a lot for a short read). I am also pleased that the author is ending the series after the next book. Sometimes I think series go on long after they've jumped the shark, and it's nice to know some authors know when to bring ...more

Spoilers for earlier books!

Before I Wake was just an absolute treat. We're six books into the Soul Screamers series now, and I can firmly state that none of the characters we met in the first book are the same - Kaylee most of all.

And thank God for that! Kaylee is one of those characters that has rather frustrated me over the years. She always feels pathologically responsible for the decisions of others - which leads to books and books of guilt, guilt, guilt. It's been frustrating beyond bel ...more

I don't know why, but this book had a hard time holding my attention. I think I'm still not thrilled with the fact that Kaylee is dead and am having as hard a time adjusting as Kaylee was.

I knew this book would be awesome! Just like the rest in this series but a little better!!

Before I Wake is action packed & romance blooms BIG TIME!
I still love most of the characters especially Kaylee, Tod & Em. I even sort of like Sabine now which is something I never thought would happen.

Now all I have to do is be patient until the next is released.....

Wow. The last book ended in a way I didn't expect, so I might call this book a game changer. This series is certainly is keeping me on my toes. I don't know of any other series quite like it. It's pretty unique. Can't wait to read the next one! ...more
