âSoul Taken and Soul Possessed were super good! The main character was spunky and fun, and utterly different from other main characters. The plot was original and I did not see some things coming. The writing was spectacular, and I read both books in a matter of days. There was the perfect amount of angst, tension, and passion all blended together.â 4.5 stars from Tween 2 Teen Books

Hadley
âThereâs the heartbreaker!â
I stop in the middle of my driveway and glare at my best friend, Lily. Sheâs grinning madly.
I roll my eyes. âIs this going to be a thing?â I shout over the radio blaring from her car. I glance at the houses across the street and hustle to the passenger door.
Lily reaches for the volume and turns the music down to a level just below ear-shattering as I slide into the passenger seat. She snaps her gum, still holding onto her smile. âProbably.â Her hand leans on the horn.
I slap her hand away from the steering wheel.
âWhat?â
âYou know Mrs. Jones hates that.â My neighbor across the street spends most of her day peering between her curtains, taking her self-appointed neighborhood watch duties very seriously.
Lily blows a raspberry and I shake my head.
âYou know you love me,â she says.
Ethan, my eager seventeen year old brother, bounds out of the house.
âItâs not every day that Hadley Beauman breaks it off with the most drool-worthy guy in school,â Lily continues.
