She found that she has five Soul Matches and a destiny bigger than she could have ever imagined. For a girl who has never had a boyfriend and couldn't master any ability enough to test into a House this new life could be overwhelming except for the rightness of it all. Once she is settled in the castle and surrounded by her men a diary is discovered. Written by Kiarra's distant grandmother Kiarra's life has changed dramatically in just weeks. Her brother became a Soul Tender and was taken away. She found that she has five Soul Matches and a destiny bigger than she could have ever imagined. For a girl who has never had a boyfriend and couldn't master any ability enough to test into a House this new life could be overwhelming except for the rightness of it all. Once she is settled in the castle and surrounded by her men a diary is discovered. Written by Kiarra's distant grandmother it possesses magic and much-needed answers. Kiarra is more important than they had realized. There is more at stake than just her own destiny. Her path will affect not only the future of their Kingdom but the surrounding Kingdoms as well. Kiarra's family has a crucial role in the future. If Kiarra does not become Queen, all is lost. Kiarra, Mason, Ian, Sebastian, Clay, and Reed must strengthen their soul bonds, learn their history, and defeat a black force determined to rule and destroy the kingdom.

Echoes of Her Soul picks up where book one left off. There's so much continued world building and history, as well as character growth. We get to know each of the guy's characters more and see how the bond progresses. The story is fantastic. Magic, political intrigue, societal and human (male) failings but it's the relationships that make it special. Kiarra and her men have an incredible bond. This is RH done to perfection. Each guy has a clear character and serves a particular role. The way Kiarra feels for each of them individually, their returned adoration for her, and the growing friendship between the men themselves are fantastic! Kiarra's love for her brother and mother, the guy's former relationships are stressed as well. This story has it right. Life is worthy not because of power or position but because of love in all of its forms. This is what keeps the reader so invested.

This is a well-written book. Love, suspense, danger, drama, and sexy times. I love how the story continued from book one and that the story arc wrapped up at the end but let the reader know which direction we are heading next. I'm not opposed to cliffhangers but it is nice to not always have one in a series. There is plenty of anxiety with this story already. I look forward to continuing with Indrasa and her advisors in book three. ...more

Sooo good!

This series is a must read for reverse harem fantasy!!! I love how Kiarra handles everyone’s needs and is so giving and caring. Ian is one of my favorites because he is a true leader. Mason is so strong and protective of everyone but I’m worried about the relationship with everyone hurting him. Clay is so open minded and very supportive of everything Kiarra wants. Seb is always putting humor into everything he does and keeps Kiarra happy and light. Reed is very observant and brings so ...more

As good as the first

Echoes of Her Soul is the second book in this Fantasy RH. The story was just as intriguing and beautifully written as the first. The characters progression is done in such a way that you can almost feel pieces click in place. I can not wait to see what happens on their journey.
