Soul Keeper by Cathryn Marr is the first in a new paranormal series about a heavenly outcast and a mortal woman and their love and desire for one another despite all obstacles. It’s a complex suspense-filled story intertwined with love, children being targeted by a serial killer and their quest to save them. This is the first book of Cathryn Matt’s that I have read and in my opinion, she does a great job of creating the complex characters and in her storytelling.
Wowwwww, it will be hard to render justice to this astonishing read.
I have read very few stories with angels and their very complex world, so I had to make some research to find more about the angels universe, hopefully the authors (as it is a duet behind the name) added a glossary at the end of the book, very useful.
Because of her awakening powers and her I-don’t-care-if-I-straight-to-danger attitude, Aurora made me think for a moment of Charley Davidson, then the San Francisco city and its hierarchy of supernaturals of the Guild Hunter series.
But there stops any similarities.
The world in which the story is set is similar to ours but with immortals and unnatural/supernatural beings (like psi or blood vampires) known and part of it.
Different organizations from both sides (Light and Shadow) are running the humans world, and it seems like San Francisco is a hub for the fallen or not to be there.
Luc (Luceire Garard) a kind of psi vampire ( he feeds from people’s emotions) has been called to meet a young woman who could help him find a special child.
Rory (Aurora Montgomery) is nothing like he expected, his presence seems to catalyze the awakening of her powers and gift. While she brings out feelings he never thought possible from him, an outcast.
From their encounter, a chain of events is set in motion, obliging everyone to show its true color. Make-believe and betrayal lurk around them. With a small group of loyal friends, they will face darkness and the potential end of all beings.
It is not easy to imagine what can a being as old as the world can expect from life when he had seen everything and done worth but with Rory in his life, hope for once settles in Luc’s heart, for her he will give his soul, or what remains of it.
Rory is a very younger living, why she often acts impulsively and has everyone runs after her, but her youth gives her also confidence, why she does not shy away when she has to confront very powerful supernaturals.
She will be Luc’s redemption while he becomes her anchor in this world.
« She was a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a package so bewilderingly bright and unselfconsciously sensual and sexy that he could barely think straight. »
« Being truly immortal rather than just exceptionally hard to kill, he’d never thought of himself as someone with a life to live, but rather with an existence to endure. »
I can only recommend anyone who loves fantasy and paranormal to give this new series a try, I was sucked in and at time wondered where do the authors wanted to bring me and in all I’m happy to have followed their trail.
I’m still left with a lot of questions and I hope the next books will be centered on Jinx ( even if was not fond of the version of Solaya shown her), Senn and especially on Athan, he is a characterI adored here and I want to learn more about him and see him find his salvation as he is as a victim to me as the poor children’s souls.
A big fat 5 stars.
I was provided an advance copy by Netgalley and the publisher Brokenoggin Brooks, but I purchased my own copy. It is my true and unbiased opinion.
