Reviews

[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Ok where to start.....I enjoyed this book and it has everything you need for a great paranormal read. It has magic, mystery, demons and a dollop of romance.

Bryn has just graduated high school and is rather glad. She didn't have the best time at school and is relieved to be done with the people there. Bryn is a sweet young girl. She is naive but she is also one of the kindest people in the world. She is also very modest. She is pretty but doesn't view herself as such. Bryn as a keeperwitch has 23 charges. The 23rd charge is Johnny Shaw.

 
Johnny Shaw is smoking hot but absolutely fuming that awitch would dare to enter his property. He despises witches and thinks that they are all evil. Bryn of course does not give up that easily but I will leave you to read the book to find out what happens....

This book had a great selection of characters and my favourite was Marianne. Although at times she was a spoiled brat she was also rather funny.

This book is a great start to the Keeper Witches series and I look forward to reading Keeper of the Innocents.

Keeper of the Lost Souls tells the story of a young witch that saves souls. When a person dies and they were good while being alive, their souls roam the Earth because they still feel like they can't leave without fixing a few things. That's where Bryn comes in. Bryn helps these souls find peace so they can move on.

Bryn had been bullied ever since she was found talking to herself and having full conversations with herself. What the humans couldn't see was that Bryn was actually talking to souls, trying to guide them to find peace. One night, Marianne, one of Bryn's bullies dies and her soul finds Bryn. Bryn doesn't have a choice but to help Marianne move on. Asides from taking care of Marianne, Bryn gets a list of 23 charges—souls that need help—and one of her charges is Johnny Shaw, a very stubborn teenager that doesn't want help from a witch because a witch destroyed his family.

I found this story to be so unique. I had never come across a story like Keeper of the Lost Souls. I enjoyed reading it because it shows a side of witches I hadn't read about before. I liked the characters, they were very well portrayed. I loved the relationship between Johnny and Bryn—they really work so well together.

Another thing I loved was that this series doesn't have a cliff-hanger. While it is a series that is set in the same world, the characters and stories change. All of the characters will meet in one of the books to fight a greater evil. In the meantime, each character gets their own story, which I find amazing and strange for a paranormal story but I will not complain because I love this arrangement.
