VAMPIRES, VENGEANCE, AND INAPPROPRIATE LAUGHTER. My name is Ell Clyne. I’m just a normal girl living in your average small town, trying to make a buck at a dead-end job. Scratch that. Normal was thrown out the window the night I became the Cypher. The truth is, I work for vampires. My bank account makes me feel like an influencer without the vagina-scented candles. And that spot in my chest—right … candles. And that spot in my chest—right where my soul should be—was metaphysically scooped out to make room for the revolving-door of souls I read each night before I return to sender. It isn’t the philanthropic job of my dreams, but I told one hell of a lie to get it.
I did it in order to save someone I love more than myself.
When my lie is discovered, the vampires want answers… Even if it kills me.
In a world full of enemies—and one particularly hot yet extremely vexing coworker—I must figure out who sold me out and why before I permanently lose my soul, my life, and my family forever.
Because liars pay in blood.
Fans of humorous urban fantasy with a dash of horror and spicy family drama are sure to enjoy the secrets and twists of Souled Out. The Ell Clyne series is full of fangs, dark secrets, and kick ass moments.

—————‐–
Here is a very beautiful “Young Adult/Fantasy ” novel with a rather complicated beginning and which quickly turned out to be fascinating !
The author’s writing is full of humor and the script of the book is very original, the characters are tortured in spirit while remaining attractive.
I especially liked the character of ELL and her relationship with others.
The story of this novel is full of action and twists.
Impossible to guess the end of this volume 1 !
I loved !
This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I have to say I’m glad I gave it a shot. It was written wonderfully and was very enjoyable. I can’t wait to read more by her.
This book had so many twists that I honestly did not see coming. So many unseen enemies that are closer to home. And allies she didn’t realize she had. Friendships made under uncertainty and so much more. Vampires with a twist. This story was unique and unpredictable.
Ell is the Cyphor. There’s only one Cyphor per continent. So she’s rare. She’s a little closed off due to what she is, sarcastic, and a little uncertain. Gabriel is a vampire she’s worked with for 4 years. He’s serious, gorgeous, smart, and so much more. Ell and Gabriel together are hilarious. You never know what is going to come out of their mouths. Seth, another vamp, becomes a friend. She’s not used to having friends and finds it hard to get back into that. Seth and Gabriel take it upon themselves and become Ell’s bodyguard.
This book takes you on a crazy ride that is unpredictable and full of twists and turns. A wild ride for sure. I definitely recommend this series. I love it!
“Souled Out” is the first installment in “The Ell Clyne Series” by Blakely Chorpenning, a paranormal urban fantasy vampire romance series, featuring Elle Clyne, a human working for as Cypher for the vampire elite for already the last four years. Ell’s job consists in reading the souls of the membership candidates, in order to do her job, her own soul should have ceremonially stripped from her as she took the job, which undoubtedly has its perks: financial security, power, interesting cases and an unusual partner (Gabriel) with a running hot and cold kind or relationship, but make not mistakes, this is not the classical ‘girl falls for the vampire’ tale, here the vampires are the setting, the plot follows Ell path. Four great years, except Ell has been hiding a secret, the fact that she kind of insinuated herself into the job, taking the place of the intended one, and remember that soul of her, that should have been stripped in the ceremony? Nope, the soul is still there and the secrets about to be broadcasting for every vampire to learn. To say Ell is in hot water, is a huge understatement. As the truth finally comes out, Ell will have to fight not only for her soul and life, but also for those of everyone involved, because vampire debts are always paid in blood
Blakely Chorpenning series is a very original take on the vampire myth, presenting a vampire society that is full-crafted and works as a background field for Ell development story. Ell is a multidimensional, very credible, relatable even in those times when we would rather throttle her, because it is those times that make her all the more real. Gabriel is great counterpart, guarding Ell back despite his own secrets, or maybe precisely because. This is fast-paced, action-packed, easy to read, very entertaining story with a very original take on the vampire myth. Already looking for the next installment
