My Soul To Save starts off with our heroine, Kaylee Cavanaugh, and her boyfriend, Nash, attending the concert of pop star, Eden, with free tickets from Nash's brother, who had once dated Addison Page, Eden's opening act. During Eden's act, she collapses on stage. Kaylee prepares for one of her screams to tear out of her, but notices it's not coming and assumes Eden is going to live, but a grim reaper then appears. Kaylee doesn't understand why she has no scream until she realizes that Eden has no soul. After this discovery she finds out that Addison will be the next victim to die without a soul, and they work together to keep death from taking her before her soul can be returned to her body.
Much darker than the first book, My Soul To Keep, this novel has the characters exploring the Netherworld, home to numerous new demons for Kaylee and friends to contend with. Kaylee has had to learn a lot over the course of just a few months to prepare herself for her new life as a bean sidhe, banshee. Vincent details this character growth in vivid detail as she deals with the challenges she faces in order to save Addison as well as typical teen problems, such as arguing with her dad and being grounded. I thought the changes in Kaylee in this book definitely moved this series forward and will make it stronger as a whole. I'm looking forward to what lies ahead for our heroine and her friends in Vincent's next release. Highly recommended!
