"Not all who wonder are lost..."
~J.R.R. Tolkien
If you haven't read 'The Soul Mate' and 'My Soul to Take' do so now. No, not later. Right now because seriously this series is so damn good. Seriously.
The Lost Souls sucks you right in from the synopsis. We get multiple POV's from several of the characters throughtout the book which I thought was bloody brilliant. Not once did I get confused or lost about what was happening or who I was reading about. The flow from each POV and the characters was done smoothly.
We get Tobar, Becki, Nico, Shandor, Xan, Trinity, Hockey, Marko, Carrie, Mira, Tahyra and few others.
We find out who survives (for now), who doesn't (que fuckin' tears). Who falls in love, who falls out of love. What's happened to characters after being separated from a group and/or who left camp.
This book had me shouting at my kindle, intrigued, mesmerized, grabbing my hair, thankful that it's not the end of the world, thankful for shampoo and conditioner, thankful for shaving cream and razors (which I might go ahead and get the lazer hair removal done...just in case shit hits the fan and the end of the world happens). AT several spots it had me doing the Home ALone face because I was just completely shocked when a certain someone dies. Then I was shocked but not really because I had a feeling that something was going to happen when another fell. Then...then I was gutted...yet again by the hands of MS (she needs to stop making me cry my own damn tears).
I love how in the beginning everyone was scattered or alone then slowly they join other survivors, then at the end it all comes together. I see certain people in a different light (good and bad). Makes me wonder what's going to happen in the next and final (EEPP!!!) book, like how is it going to play out? Will everything go back to normal (like it was all a dream) or will things stay the same, forever changed? Will they succedd in what they have to do? Who will be left standing? Who will fall?
My favorites scenes/lines:
"You know," He said, amused. "Waiting used to drive me crazy. It was all I could think about as a teenager. But waiting for her was worth it. Personally, I'm glad I haven't been with anyone else. I couldn't give her very much, you know, but I could give her me, all of me."-Hockey
"Do me a favor." He said, choking back his sudden rising emotion. "And try not to judge so harshly that which you don't understand."-Shandor
"Are you from another country?"
What the fuck? Did he sound French?
"No." he bit out. "I'm Romani. I'm not from any country. I'm from everywhere...nowhere."-Marko & Carrie
"I miss her,"..."I feel like I'm gonna miss her for the rest of my life..."-Xan
I found 40% to be so beautiful and very heartwarming.
I'm ending my review with this: This series is one of my favorite paranormal series out there. Why? Uhh because it's different. It's fresh. It's unique. There are Gypsies, a dragon (*whispers softly*...who likes to eat tacos), magic, hot guys, kick ass females, vampires (not your typical vampires either). It has love, hate, humor, le sexy time, soul mates and of course end of the world doomsday suspense.
I'm off now to be part of a Hockey, Shandor, Xan and Gerik sandwich with a slice of Marko on the side for some dessert.
