How
much can a soul take before it breaks?
Anna Pierce has a vampire boyfriend, a driver's license, real friends for the first time since she was five, and now she faces one of her biggest challenges, senior year at a mostly all girls Catholic high school. Sure, she's a member of the talking crowd now, but she'll never be like everyone else. How can she when the first of her kind has camped out in her dreams?
Little dead girl Emily decides Anna's destiny can wait no longer. It's time for this generation's Touched girl to hunt. Trained in a virtual dream landscape to destroy all in her path, Anna must choose between her destiny, the one beat into her on a nightly basis, and her legacy, the one instilled in her by her parents.
Along the way, old enemies remain dutifully obsessed, new foes lurk in the shadows, and odd Little Duckie Anna Pierce sets out to be social.

First thoughts after.....
#3 please?????
How distracted did I get???
Soul Bender is a wonderful sequel that's heart wrenching and leaves you wanting more. I still love the two main characters however I LOVE the building of secondary characters in the series! They are very eccentric and fun to read. As usual I won't say much as to not ruin either book for you. I highly recommend both books in the series. I didn't want to put this story down for a second.
I give Soul Bender.......

About
Robyn Jones
I'm
the mom of two hardcore boys. My oldest trained me to be
matter-of-fact, no frills. My youngest wants the whole singsongy
sweet package. Thank goodness for reading and writing because they
are my sanity makers. I know life is all about the journey, that's
why I like my fiction to be all about the destination. I want to be
taken somewhere not here when I read, same goes with the stories I
create. Thrills, chills, tears, and laughter, but there has to be
something to hold on to at the end.

Tobi, you are so right about her secondary characters and the development there! I love them. Also, Mercy is one of my favorite female characters as well. Thank you so much for participating in the tour! Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, Tobi. Thank you for reading and reviewing Soul Bender and for being part of this cool blog tour. I'm a sucker for those secondary characters too! I feel a couple novelettes coming on.
ReplyDeleteI only know Mary Poppins and Elastigirl, sad. I'd add Anna to the list! I know, I want book 3 too! Lol, I had to ask her if there were more right away because I just couldn't believe it just ended like that! It was an intense moment for me when I finished it last night. I loved the secondary characters as well! They are so funny and fun and just awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have picked up book one and am looking forward to getting started on what looks like a really tasty series. Thank you for sharing with us, I am looking forward to more about Emily and Anna :)
