Soulstone (Immortalis, #4)

[Cocktails and Books]

When we last left Lysander and Alyssa, they thought they had managed to capture Aniketos (the first evil vampire who had been imprisoned in Pandora's Box), but instead that Lysander was grievously injured in a fire and his soul is now in the crystal, which is discovered to be a soulstone.

It takes Alyssa, Nicholas, Drew, Crystal and their alliance with the wolves to find a way to save Lysander from the Acta Sanctorum who are determined to use the soulstone in their evil plans to rid the world of supernatural beings.

While I missed the interactions between Lysander and Alyssa, this was Alyssa's moment to shine. For the first time in the series, she didn't have her beloved there to save her from whatever disaster she got herself into. It was Alyssa who never lost determination in finding a way to save Lysander and who went to whatever lengths it took to get the soulstone containing Lysander back after the Acta Sanctorum took it. And while other members of her coven may have doubted Alyssa in the past, this was her time to earn their respect.

In my opinion, this is the best entry in the series so far. I can't wait to see what is next for our group, because the Acta Sanctorum has a lot to answer for.
