Guilt is a horrible thing to live with.
From one life altering event to another.
I’m the girl always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Haunted by the past, uncertain of the future.
I dreamed of becoming someone else and erasing my existence.

Even more alone and without her memories, I have to make sense of this nightmare.
The one person who understands the guilt I feel is the same man who put me in this position in the first place.

This book is different from the first one in style, but we do find ourselves back in Payson, Arizona with familiar characters. The first book in this series does not need to be read in order to fully jump into this book, but it’s always fun having back stories of side characters.
Logan is one of those characters that has a lot of room for growth and it’s hard to feel much for him other than pity and frustration in the beginning; however, as his story unravels and we get to know him better, it gets easier to relate to him. I think Angel helps tremendously with that. If you have read the first book, you had a slight introduction to Angel as a friend of Scott, the man who can communicate with ghosts.
An accident on Angel’s birthday, leads to Angel waking up in the body of someone else while her body remains stuck in a coma. She’ll need help from her friend Scott, Logan – the guy who has relentlessly picked on her the last two years, and the friends of the body she’s inhabiting to unwind the mystery of who she is now and how she can get back into her own body.
I really enjoy the way Nikki Lynn Barrett writes about grief, trauma, addiction, and mental health issues. She really touches on taking care of yourself to make life better. It’s beautiful.
Sleeping Angel is the second book in the Soul Connection Series by Nikki Lynn Barrett. Wow! Barrett weaves a delicate web through this story!
As it was with the first book, the characters are well developed and the attention to detail is excellent. While this can be read as a standalone, the connections to the first book in the series adds additional intrigue into the story.
Logan and Angel are connected by tragedy—each very much struggling in their own way. This tragedy puts them at odds but also magnetized them together. Can they overcome tremendous hurdles? This one has it all, romance, ghosts, revenge, mystery, drama and so much more. This paranormal romance is a must read.

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett
Sleeping Angel is the second book in the Soul Connection Series by Nikki Lynn Barrett. This is a Paranormal Romance that is packed with mystery, suspense, anger, grief , ghosts . Although this can be read as a standalone I do however recommend reading the first book to get to know the characters. This is my favorite yet. I found myself lost in the pages while on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This is Logan and Angel’s story. Both of the have experienced something tragic. Logan lost his little sister and Andi and he has become a very angry drunk. She witnessed something she should have spoken up about sooner than she did. They both have anger and regret. What happens when he wakes up in the hospital and is the reason why Angel is now in someone else’s body. Find out what happens next in this emotional rollercoaster ride that the twists and turns will have you turning the pages to see what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book and I can’t wait to read more from this Author.
Another page turner by Nikki Lynn Barrett. Logan is suffering after the death of his sister. He blames Angel. After a night of too much drinking, Logan does something bad, but he doesn’t remember what. And Angel is not herself. Scott, her ex boyfriend, tries to help her figure out what is going on. Will the truth come out before it’s too late?
Another emotional roller coaster and definitely a page turner.
Sleeping Angel (Soul Connections Book Two) by Nikki Lynn Barrett was a great read! I really enjoyed the first book, and I was so glad Barrett decided to delve more into Angel in this story. This book was just as good if not better than the first. It has all the drama, mystery and suspense of a great novel. Barrett is quickly becoming a favorite author and I can’t wait to more in the future, including another installment on this series! I may or may not be a little obsessed with this one!
Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett presents so much romance and drama ready to unfold. The paranormal is a nice bonus in this love story. Ghost, this story has it all and so much more.
There was just one terrible death. Two souls wracked with remorse. They haven’t been able to connect because of years of anguish and remorse. Until one night, when an accident occurs, it completely changes everything.
He is buzzed. Angry. At the age of twenty-four, that’s him. He had no intention of becoming this guy, but the murder of my sister had an impact on him. He holds himself responsible, but he also holds Angel responsible. His sister died as a result of her silence. One night, his anguish takes a new turn. He is informed of his actions when he wakes up in the hospital. Everyone believes he attempted to murder Angel on purpose. But he didn’t mean to hit her, and he has no recollection of the incident. Her fate is now in her hands, and he must accept responsibility for what he has done. Rionna, his first love, provides him with comfort. But there are aspects of her that he does not comprehend. Something isn’t quite right here.
Guilt is a terrible feeling to have. From one life-changing experience to the next. She’s the girl that seems to be at the wrong place at the wrong moment all of the time. She is haunted by the past, and She is unsure about the future. She fantasized about transforming into someone else and deleting her existence. Her fantasy is going to become a reality. She assumed she would die in the accident, but she discovers she is in the body of a stranger.’
I loved every page of it. I can’t wait to read more from this author.
Sleeping Angel by Nikki Lynn Barrett is the second story in the Soul Connection Series.
Though I would recommend reading the first book, it is not necessary. (It’s just really
good).
Wow. Just wow. This book is an emotional rollercoaster. Logan loses his sister and blames himself and Angel. Angel gave up information that lead to the arrest of the people responsible, but it’s not good enough for Logan. Angel blames herself as much as Logan does, but that doesn’t matter.
Now she has had an accident and wakes up in someone else’s body. Can Angel figure out what happened and get back to her body before it is too late?
Can I just say, I loved this book. There are so many twists, turns and murder mystery. My heart breaks for Logan, whom loses his sister, Andi, by murder and drowns himself in alcohol. Everything changes when Logan blames Angel for not preventing Andi’s murder and not coming forward with the events that takes place and Logan hits Angel with his car. Was it an accident or attempted murder? I also love that it ties in book one characters of Scott and Zelda. This is a great read if you love mystery, secrets and ghosts. Nikki Lynn Barrett is truly becoming one of my favorite authors <3.
I give Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett, 4 stars.
I started this book thinking it seemed predictable and I knew what was going to happen. I could not have been more wrong! The story is so original, there is no way you will guess what is going on. I was so intrigued about the concepts in this book of souls and such. I cannot elaborate more without possibly giving things away, but I will say that I stopped and thought twice in some sections. The characters are great, too. All of them really grow throughout this book, not just the main ones. Plus you will see some from book one if you read it as well as a whole new cast of characters.
This book has romance, tragic grief, and the paranormal tossed in to the mix. It is a very powerful story that I could not put down. I believe it can be read as a standalone and I highly recommend it.
Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection Book 2)
By Nikki Lynn Barrett
This book will take you on an emotional roller-coaster. You can read this one as a standalone but it is my suggestion that you read the books in order for a better back story of some of the characters. We get to meet new characters in this story and have returning characters. This story kept me wondering what was going to happen next, it seemed to keep adding more questions and twists and turns as I read. I definitely had a hard time putting this book down. The paranormal elements in this book were intriguing and unique. My heart ached for some of the characters in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have enjoyed every book I have read by this author and I am sure I will continue to do so. I highly recommend this book.
Angel and Logan are two young people with a lot of guilt over one other young person, the death of Logan’s sister. Logan blames Angel for not coming forward with some information sooner and he also blames himself for not heeding the signals and seeing what was right in front of him. Angel blames herself for the same thing, she didn’t take notice of a situation which felt a little off, she feels she was selfish and it was only when someone asked her a question two years later that she realised she should come forward, but when she does, her apology to Logan goes down in flames and he dogs her every movement after that and makes her life a living hell. Another year down the line and it is the anniversary of his sisters birthday and Logan does what the same as every year, gets drunk, angry and accusatory, he goes to Angel’s house and shouts abuse at her before being taken home, Angel is trying to celebrate her birthday when he shows up, but becomes completely overwhelmed and goes outside for some air, but all of a sudden she sees headlights and then is out of her body and nobody can see or hear her, apart from one person who insists that she goes back into her own body, however, as she does, she sees a flash of light and then nothing.
The next day Angel wakes up, but in somewhere she doesn’t recognise, she is not in a hospital where she expects to be after what she saw, but when she looks in the mirror, it is not her looking back, it is someone with blue hair and a nose ring and she has a roommate she has no idea the name of, thinking that she has the hangover from hell and trying not to let on she has no idea who she is, she is eventually taken to the hospital to be checked over. When she arrives there, she decides to go and look for herself instead, but finds that her body is surrounded by too many people and hasn’t woken up, but she does run into Logan, this is how she finds out she is in his ex-girlfriend Rionna’s body and that just causes more questions than answers. Finally she finds the one person she knows can help her untangle this mess and hopes that she can work with them to solve the mystery.
Meanwhile, Logan has woken up in the hospital with no memory of what happened after he was taken home by two people who were at the party he crashed, he remembers going to bed to sleep it off, but when he is told that he was behind the wheel, drunk out of his mind and that he ran over Angel outside her home, he realises just what a mess he is in. As he comes to and is treated for his head wound, the police come into his room and tell him that he will be arrested on multiple charges as soon as he is released from the hospital, however, the severity of the punishment will all depend on whether Angel wakes up from the coma she is currently in. Logan is torn in two by what he has done and accepts all the punishments he is given, however, when the alcohol withdrawal hits him, he feels like death would be preferable to the pain, spasms, nausea and hallucinations he is experiencing.
Will Angel be able to figure out Rionna’s life so that she can work out how to get back to herself, or will fate intervene and leave more questions than answers for her? Will Logan be able to turn over a new leaf, or will the downward spiral he was experiencing before begin again? What ties Logan, Angel and Rionna together and how did the body swap happen in the first place? This is a story of loss, grief, heartbreak and secrets with a tangled web of connections which need to be unraveled before the mystery can be solved.

5 out of 5 stars
I remember reading Peaceful Slumber a LONG time ago and while the details are vague in my memory now, I remember being blown away. When I found out the book is actually part of a series, I couldn’t be more excited. My only complaint after reading Sleeping Angel is that I wish I had reread Peaceful Slumber first. There were times that I just wished I remembered more about the characters but this didn’t really impact my love for the book overall. There’s not much I can say that doesn’t give the story away but I will say this book is unlike anything I have ever read before. It is unique, at times emotional and even a bit funny. The characters are lovable, even when you think they’re not. If you haven’t read Nikki Lynn Barrett yet, you’re missing out on a talented storyteller. I can’t wait to read more of this soul connections series!
I really enjoyed the first one in this series, and this follow up definitely did not disappoint. Set in the same world as the first one but dealing with a different aspect of the paranormal and supernatural this book was fresh and exciting. This picks up where the first book left off, telling us the story of Angel and how she came forward to help find a young girl’s murderers. However, the girl’s brother doesn’t think she came forward soon enough and wild night of drowning his sorrows leads Logan to running Angel off the road. Waking up in the body of Logan”s first love, Riona, it soon transpires there’s more to this connection than previously thought.
I liked the characters in this and found them likable and interesting. The plot moves swiftly but is still easy enough to keep up with and I enjoyed the mystery finding aspect of this story. I’m interested to see who’s story will be next!
Nikki Lynn Barrett does it again, Sleeping Angel is just as amazing as Peaceful Slumber was. Once again Ms. Barrett takes us on emotional roller coaster ride, capturing her readers from page 1. This book has literally everything that a reader could possibly want from love, hate, joy, fear, sadness, and more, Ms. Barrett will have you not wanting to put it down. I felt so many emotions in reading this story that I cried multiple times and had chills going down my spine while reading this novel. Just like her other novels Ms. Barrett’s characters have so much depth, and description you can’t help but fall in love with their stories. I have read several of Ms. Barret’s novels and loved them all, but after reading Sleeping Angel I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
5/5 Stars
Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection #2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Barrett, but it is my first book in the Soul Connection Series. Barrett has yet again captured my attention. Sleeping Angel had me hooked from the start.
Logan is the older brother most of us wish we could have/had. He treats his sister the way every man should treat a woman. Then his world comes crashing down. His sister is dead. Murdered. The quote I chose for Logan is: “You could have saved her, had you paid attention. You’re selfish! How dare you come apologize to me! I’ll show you sorry!”
Angel watched it happen. Watched as her friend and Logan’s little sister was murdered. She comes forward after Andi is buried and says she saw it happen. She blames herself, but then something happens. She is in someone else’s body. The quote I chose for Angel is: “M-m … Rionna’s roommate. She’s dead.”
Highly recommended for Paranormal Ghost lovers.
Scott and Zelda are again involved in a mystery. Arriving at a friend’s party, they witness a horrific accident that sets off a chain of events that will change the lives of Angel and Logan. The plot keeps you on your toes as there are many twists that will have you guessing about what’s going on. The characters have personalities that feel so real and human due to their flaws. A little paranormal with some reincarnation, romance, murder, and some comedy just makes this book a must read. I can’t give too much away but you have GOT TO read this. I love this author. New fan for life her.
Sleeping Angel by Nikki Lynn Barrett is book two of the Soul Connection Series. I wasn’t sure if I was going to get into this book as it’s a little more paranormal than I usually go for but I was pleasantly surprised!
Logan lost his little sister Andi and everything has seems to spiral out of control for him from there. His guilt and his hate for Angel eat him up. If only he could have saved her. Angel knows about Logan’s hate for her. She feels enough self inflicted guilt she can’t really blame him for his anger. The night of Angel’s birthday everything changes. Will Angel and Logan be able to move passed all their pain?
I couldn’t put this book down! I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. The suspense was intense. I was really rooting for Angel and Logan. I could relate to Logan’s pain even though I thought he was punishing Angel a little too harshly. I really enjoyed this book even though I was hesitant about it at first.

4 Stars
I have read many books by this author and have enjoyed all of them. I especially loved the first book in this series and was super excited about this one as I was left with a few questions at the end of the first. It was awesome getting back to Scott and Zelda and I would have loved more of their story in this book. In saying that I didn’t fall into this one quite as deep as I did the first. It still had all of the amazing writing I’ve come to expect from a book by this author but this one had me confused most of the time. There are a lot of moving parts and trying to keep up was a challenge. It took me a bit to finish it as it was quite long. I did love the mystery and never knowing what secret would be revealed next. It was just a bit complicated trying to keep the characters straight and I did have to go back every now and then to get back on pace. Logan and Angel were strong characters and I did love both of them.
The ending was awesome and helped clear up some of the confusion, but not all of it. I love this author and will read anything she comes out with, this one was just not one of my favorites although I did enjoy most of it.
This is the second book in the Soul Connection series and wow what a book. The author does an amazing job of mixing true hard situations such as grief and adding some paranormal influence. It follows the story of 2 people Logan And Angel.
Logan is suffering with unbearable grief after finding out his sister was murdered. Full of anger and regret he turns to alcohol to numb the pain. As well as blaming himself he also blames the one person who could have helped but didn’t, Angel.
Angel came forward with her information which lead to the killers being caught however she is now full of guilt and remorse over not stepping in at the time. Added to her guilt is the hatred from Logan.
Things change however when Logan runs over Angel now Angels spirit is in a fight to return back to her body before its too late.
All through the book we are taken through a journey of grief and realising that even in death our loved ones never really leave us. After all the heartache can something good come from this experience for both Angel and Logan?
After reading the previous book I knew this one would be just as great. And I wasn’t disappointed. It picked up right where the other ended and introduced some new characters to us along the way. I found this book to be even better than the first one as it was filled with even more twists and turns along the way. Once again the author has managed to construct a beautifully written and quite riveting story. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! And I certainly cannot wait to see what the author has in store for the next book in this series. This is a must read in my opinion.
