MY REVIEW!!!!
I usually start with the summary in my own words, but I
think the one above pretty much sums it up. I couldn’t have said it better
myself. :D Now let’s get onto my review.
So I should have known that with a title like Soul Survivor
I would need tissue, but I didn’t listen. There were so many jaw dropping
moments, tear jerker moments, and moments you just want to run from. I
literally didn’t put this book down once I started reading it. The first few
chapters were a little hard to get through because there was a little insta
romance. I forged on and I’m so so glad I did. It wasn’t what I thought and
ever thing that I thought I knew flew out the window. LOL There are just so
many things you didn’t see coming and I loved that and also hated it. I wanted
to know what was going to happen. I loved this new take on angels as well. I can’t
really say much about them because then you wouldn’t have anything to look forward
to, not that there aren’t other things to look forward to because there are. I
mean there is Alex and “the darkness” AKA Seth. Oh and there is that one tiny
little problem about a curse dealing with Hailee, but that’s not really
important…..NOT!!!!! The book centers on that and I don’t know what I would
have done if I was Hailee, probably the same thing she did which was……HA I’m
not going to tell. :P This book was so much fun to read!!! Now I just wish the
second one was out already, but alas it’s not *Frowny face*
Alex is a guardian angel and a hot one at that. When we
first meet him, he is this care free and around nice guy. BUT I didn’t really
connect with him….I didn’t feel any depth to him like the other characters. He
just felt fake. Now when we meet Seth and Ami I felt like he was truly himself
and we finally get to see the real Alex. He has his good moments and he had
those moments I wanted to punch him in he face.
Hailee is a…….I can’t tell, cause then you would know the
secret (you didn’t hear it from me) She has a lot on her shoulders and she is
only 19. She is learning about things she didn’t know existed and she handles
it quite well. And by that I mean she feels like she can’t breathe. The choice
she has to make is not an easy one and I would have done the same thing she did…which
is cry. How could you ask someone to make a choice that will have dire
consequences for someone else? IT was just soooo real and it gets to you. I
felt really connected to Hailee and if she was real, we would totally hit it
off.
Seth who is the dark angel of SEXINESS!!!!!!!!!! LOL I don’t
know what it is but I can’t resist a bad boy. Well he is technically a man, but
whatever. LOL I know the things he has done and yet I love him. I can see how
Hailee can’t resist him. Who could? Now it all isn’t sunshine and roses LOL especially
with him being “the darkness” as Alex and Ami call him. He has a temper and he
goes from hot to cold in an instant. He is so conflicted during the whole novel
and we find out why in the book. It was a major blow to the head. I was like NO
FREAKING WAY!!!!
Overall: An awesome
jaw dropping novel that will leave you guessing, who will be the…soul survivor.
