Sleeping Angel

5 stars
Going in to this book I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, I’m not a huge paranormal fan but I really like this author but the story was amazing. Full of so much emotion I was completely captivated by what I was reading. I felt what the characters did and I thought the author just did a wonderful job with them. There were some unexpected twists and turns and it was actually a really though provoking read too that made me think about what I was reading.
Overall an amazing read and one that I would highly recommend!
This is the 2nd book in the Soul Connection series. This is a Paranormal Ghost novel and is 521 pages. This story follows Logan and Angel. Logan is a drunken and bitter man whose sister, Andi, was murdered. Angel feels guilty about Andi’s death. Angel witnessed it and never spoke up. Angel has an accident at the hands of Logan, but Logan does not remember what happened. Angel was in a coma, and when she awakens, she is in someone else’s body and has no idea how she got there. Why can she not get back to her own body?
Amazingly captivating. This book kept me going from start to finish. It is a great paranormal, action packed, suspense novel. I would love to read the first one. The author kept me wanting more and more with each turn of the page. I am truly a fan of this series now.
Sleeping Angel is the second novel in the Soul Connections series by Nikki Lynn Barrett.
Waking up in the hospital, Logan has no memory of trying to kill Angel though he blames her for his sister’s death.
I really enjoyed the first novel and I could not wait to start the second novel.
This was a rollercoaster of emotions with characters that are likeable and an interesting plot. I did not want to put the book down.
I recommend this novel. Will not be disappointed.
Logan McVey has lost his little sister, his best friend and he blames himself even though he had nothing to do with it. Angel McCready came forward with information that put away the guys that were responsible for taking Andi away. Logan blames Angel for not speaking up and saving his sister from the monster he thought were his friends. Angel herself even carries around guilt for what happened and often wonders if Andi had given her any signs that she needed help. Angel knows that Logan hates her with a passion for not speaking up sooner and is just waiting for something to happen. On the night of her birthday she has a party and is enjoying herself and having a good time with her friends until she is in an accident that leaves her in a coma. When she wakes up she is in someone else’s body and has no idea who this person is or how she ended up there. Why couldn’t she get back into her own body? Will she find out who this person is and how they figure into everything that is going on? Will Logan ever be able to forgive her?
I found this book as enjoyable as the first one. I am looking forward to seeing what new characters the author brings into the third book and how it connects to the first two.
As expected, this book did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book of the series, Peaceful Slumber, and this one was even better! I am thrilled to see returning characters and really liked the new characters and the web that entwined them. There were several twists and turns that I did not anticipate and it made for a great read – very hard to put down!
Sleeping Angel is the second book in the Soul Connection series by Nikki Lynn Barrett.
This book is jam-packed full of so many emotions I kept having to stop to digest everything.
Logan is still struggling to cope after the murder of his sister. He blames everyone including himself. He wants answers and justice. He is struggling to move forward with his own life.
Angel already carries so much guilt. She might not fully understand all that she has seen just yet, but right now she just wants her life to feel normal.
Like the first book in this series, this story has a paranormal twist. Both of these characters need answers, but how far will they go to find them?
I found this book a little hard to keep up with at times, especially towards the beginning. Saying that though, I did really enjoy it. There are lots of twists, turns, and unanswered questions to keep you turning the pages right until the end.
I loved this book. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up of hers. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first as it is just as great. Her stories pull me in from the beginning and her attention to details give the story a realistic feel. This book is no different. This is a story about Logan, Angel and one accident that changes everything for them. This is a story where guilt and a haunting past come colliding together. This is a fast paced story that has twists and turns that left me turning pages fast to the end. This was a great story and I highly recommend it.
This is the second book in the Soul Connection series. The main character, Scott, from the first book is more of a minor character in this book (but he is still important.)
Angel is hit by a car at a party by a man that has been stalking her for years. While her body is in a coma, her soul has inhabited another woman’s body. She tries to find out what is going on and get back to her own body.
Logan lost his sister a few years ago and has survivor’s guilt. He has become an alcoholic and is the one who hit Angel with a car. He is just hoping that she survives, not just to keep himself out of jail for murder but also because he has added on more guilt.
Opinion
I absolutely loved the first book and expected to like this one jsut as much. There are some differences between the last and the present book. I was confused in several parts because there are so many characters, both in and out of their right bodies. The main concept of the book is a cool idea that I still find interesting. Overall, I liked the book but thought there was too much to follow.
Having read the first book in the Soul Connection series by Nikki Lynn Barrett, I was excited to find the next one was published and ready to read. Barrett delivers a well-written story in “Sleeping Angel” with characters who struggle with difficult emotions like grief and guilt. Through the struggles of Logan and Angel, we can have the courage to confront our own difficult emotions. Maybe our situations are not as difficult or with consequences as dramatic, but reading how Barrett handles these emotions in this story and with her characters, caused some personal reflection in myself. Even without this connection to self, Barrett creates a fictional world that becomes easy to become lost in and characters that become easy to care about. Another great story to add to the shelf!
What a fantastic sequel to “Peaceful Slumber”. Nikki Lynn Barrett’s Soul Connection series is heart wrenching and a powerfully emotional read.
This story centers on Logan, the brother of the murdered girl whose ghost appeared in the first book, and Angel the girl who Logan blames for his sisters death.
It is a story of love and mystery, but most of all it is a story about the power of forgiveness. It held my attention throughout and I really enjoyed it. I am definitely looking forward to the continuation of the series.

Will this Angel awaken from her nightmare?
After reading Peaceful Slumber, the first book in the Soul Connection series by Nikki Lynn Barrett, I was looking forward to reading the next book to see what happened to the lead and supporting characters. Indeed, the next book, Sleeping Angel, features Scott and Zelda from the first book, but the plot of Sleeping Angel went in a radically different direction, one that I did not really like.
As with the first book, I liked both lead characters, Logan and Angel, and found the supporting characters to be interesting and essential to the story. However as I already mentioned, I did not like the story as much and was disappointed with the direction the author took. Also, the writing was smooth, but the pace did drag a bit.
Lastly, as with the first book, the author kept any implied sexual content behind closed doors, but (sadly) the characters did continue to use very vulgar language.

I received a free ARC of this book and am voluntarily writing my honest review.
This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster that I am still recovering from. Thought provoking, sad, joyful, unforgettable! Watching Angel and Logan work through their guilt and finally see their true selves was truly a work of art. When they really see the other for the person they strive to be I was in tears. I have read all of this author’s books and this one is my new favorite, hands down.
The ability to take two characters who should not be likeable and make them characters that readers love and root for us magical. Ms. Barrett truly is a master of her craft and continues to write books that stay with the reader long after they finish the book!
Sleeping Angel is one of those books that you don’t easily forget. After reading it once, I had to read it again to soak it in even more. I still find myself thinking about it, mulling over all that happened. This story is going to stick with me for a long time. I highly recommend this book!
Logan McVey’s whole life turned upside down the night his sister, Andi, went missing and was later found murdered. He blames the killers whom he thought were his friends but when a woman comes through with information he also blames her for not stopping it or not saying anything about it sooner.
Angel McCready knows how much Logan hates her and she is shocked to be continually harassed by him. On the night of her birthday she is throwing a party until she is the victim of a horrible accident and wakes up to find herself in someone else’s body.
As Logan and Angel come to terms with the accident both are coming from different perspectives but are linked through Rionna Fresno. As Scott tries to bridge the gap between different worlds will hidden secrets be revealed to get everything how it should be before Angel is lost forever?
This was a good book filled with different paranormal elements that kept you in suspense of what was going to happen next.
Logan was a good character but so conflicted and angry after the death of his sister. The two had such a close bond that he hit rock bottom when she died and began drinking excessively and everything began to fall apart around him. I don’t think he meant for the accident to happen but at the same time he was just in such a bad place that I wasn’t surprised that it happened.
I thought Angel was a great character who saw something that she didn’t realize the depth of what she had witnessed. I couldn’t imagine what she went through when she realized she wasn’t where she thought she would be.
There was so much mystery and secrets that kept being revealed as the book went along. I was surprised at how everything was linked together and characters were all tied in without realizing it.
I really liked the change in Logan but I was waiting for the big reveal with regards to Angel and Rionna.
The ending was really good and I liked that Angel was honest about everything that had happened. The epilogue great and I liked the way it ended.
