Souls (Runes, #5)

by Ednah Walters

Eighteen-year-old Cora Jemison knows what it’s like to date a soul reaper. There are no Friday night movies, no school dances, and no stolen kisses between classes. It totally sucks! What makes it even worse, souls pop up when she least expects it. The last one is not her fault, but it all adds up to zero quality time with her super hot, scythe-carrying boyfriend, Echo.

Since Cora was etched with special runes by an evil Immortal, she understands why souls are drawn to her. She makes the best of it by helping souls find closure while Echo escorts them to the realm of the dead. Perfect partners, until a dark soul visits Cora in the dead of the night and Echo decides her soul-helping days are over.

Cora can either listen to Echo or follow her instincts. To make matters worse, other reapers start stalking her, demanding she hand over the soul. Even her Valkyrie friends think she’s gone too far. But something sinister is coming their way, and the soul is the key to saving her town, her friends, and her relationship with Echo. Can she convince Echo to see things her way before it’s too late?

This installment of the Runes series advances Cora and Echo's storyline. We get to know a lot more about Cora's immortal-ness and Echo's past. I love Echo and Cora and their epic romance, I can never get enough. I really liked that the other Runes characters were more involved in this book as well. I am totally intrigued by Cora's last day at school and all that business (which I will not mention) and I want to know more about that. Love this series, love this off-shoot series. Can't wait for the next Runes book.

I totally loved this story getting even more of the back story on the mysterious Echo is worth every minute of reading. I really enjoyed getting to know Dev he was a great addition to this amazing series. I did get very teary eyed at the end which i knew was coming and it just made that part of the story that much more realistic. Ednah has done it again another amazing story with in her fantasic Runes series. Bring on Witches.
