Wow. Just wow.
I don’t normally read a lot of fantasy or romance, but once I met soul eater Noah and human Caroline, I was hooked. I followed each through the emotional upheavals in their at first mis-matched relationship, and cried with them as their lives took nosedive after nosedive.
The author writes with a great voice that drew me right in. I felt Noah’s angst as he realized the things he’d done in his life came with major consequences. The plot twists helped keep the plot moving.
Stunning! A riveting tale, richly imagined, stirring and at time quite thought-provoking novel, this is a true page-turner with a uniqueness that sets it apart from many paranormal romances. Noah, with his human emotions battling his non-human instincts, is a compelling main character, who is at times not sympathetic, yet always fascinating. Once strong and attractive, he is being punished in the most brutal of ways by his leader, Amon, a creature of remarkable evil, yet who is also quite intriguing. Enter Caroline, the nurse who stirs something primal and strong and even beautiful in the beaten, nasty Noah after his fall. Caroline is more than just a romantic foil in the story, as she comes into her own and develops into an equally complex match for Noah.
Odessa Black, the author, has a startling way of stirring beauty and violence, love and hate, dark and light into the plot, and the contrasting elements all mix together to create an engrossing, well-written, complexly plotted and imminently readable story. Her ability to juxtaposition the beauty with the ugly creates a tension in the story that makes it a great read, startling at times but in a good way. Her writing throughout is also so well done that the novel moves quickly and smoothly through its many twists and turns. I’ll definitely read more in this series. Thank you, Odessa Black, for a fine book.
A twisted story indeed. A little slow to start but once it’s going it ignites. Don’t give up on this one, It will keep you riveted.
This was not your average paranormal romance, it was action packed, an emotional rollercoaster – incredibly moving. I was addicted from the first pages and couldn’t put it down, I finished far to quickly and was left desperate to know what would happen with Noah and Caroline, and the rest of the soul eaters. I’m desperately waiting for book 2, I’m hooked on the series, the narration was really good. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
Black Soul by Odessa Gillespie Black is the 1st in the series.
This was a great take on Angel’s and great world building. I enjoyed the story and found myself caught up in Noah’s anguish!
Looking forward to more!
I highly recommend this page turner. The author does a wonderful job of pulling you in. It is a unique story of an unexpected romance. I found the characters to be relatable. The story is full of twists and turns. I look forward to book two.
Noah is prepared to die in Black Soul, that is, until Caroline comes into his life. The daughter of his regular home healthcare worker, Caroline is a force to be reckoned with as she won’t allow him to wallow in his self-indulgent, destructive behavior. Making a human connection is the one thing Noah has been avoiding so he could stick with his plan to die, yet Caroline’s positive aura is impossible for him to ignore or forget. This story delves into the dark side of humanity, where souleaters are responsible for maintaining balance in the human population, taking matters into their own hands when the justice system can’t keep up. This fast-paced adventure will keep you turning the pages to find out what will happen next.
