Review: A Vampire's Soul by Carla Susan Smith

Blurb:

(Off Goodreads)

INTO THE DARK...

Rowan Harper’s world has been wrenched apart. The man she thought she loved—the man she does love—is a vampire, and not the kind that glitters. Running away isn’t an option. Gabriel isn’t just her lover. She’s bound to him in ways she can’t comprehend, ways that put both of them in desperate danger even as Rowan’s desire for him blazes anew.

The rules of her life before are gone. But she has a power of her own, a power she is remembering in fits and starts even as time races against her. With her life and Gabriel’s very soul on the line, Rowan has to choose who to believe—and who to trust…

My Review:

This intriguing paranormal romance picks up where A Vampire’s Promise leaves off (Warning: read it first). Rowan’s world has been torn apart, the rules of her life broken. Her lover is a vampire and she is somehow bound to him in ways she can’t comprehend, ways that put them both in danger.

This steady paced plot keeps readers intrigued with suspense, drama and romance. The author describes the story with well written scenes and details that draw the reader deeper into the story as well an intriguing concept that inspires the reader’s curiosity. Tension builds as the danger to Rowan escalates from a jealous vampire and forces beyond her control.  The characters are strong, compelling, easily understood and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.

The chemistry between Rowan and Gabriel stills burns up the pages however the relationship is in jeopardy. Rowan has to discover for herself if she can accept that vampire’s and more are real, a crazed vampire who wants Gabriel for herself is still out to get her and if that’s not enough, she has to choose who to believe and who to trust because Gabriel’s soul is in jeopardy.

First let me say that this is a hard review to write because I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but this is much more than a vampire romance.  This story is very complex with twists and turns and lots of characters that also have a stake in how Rowan and Gabriel’s relationship plays out.  I found some of the twists a little confusing, but all my questions were answered. The author has created a story with an intriguing and complicated concept that draws the reader in and ensures that they want to know what is happening and I enjoyed the story and the great conclusion, although I do recommend reading the books back to back if possible.

About Carla Susan Smith:

(Off author’s site)

Born and raised in England, I now call South Carolina home where I  live with my wonderfully supportive husband, awesome son, and the most discerning canine critique group ever - if tails aren’t wagging then the story isn’t working!

I owe my love of literature to my mother, who, after catching me  reading by flashlight beneath the bed covers, calmly replaced the romance book I’d ‘borrowed’ with one that was far less risqué, and much more appropriate for a pre-teen! She encouraged me to include a wide variety of genres in my reading tastes, but romance, and  paranormal romance in particular, has remained my first love.

I never really thought about writing a romance novel until I read one that was so bad I can only assume it got published by mistake! Making such a comment to my BFF, Sharon, she challenged me to do better. The result was a 250-thousand word epic that I affectionately refer to as my ‘bodice-ripper’ romance - and yes, I still have it!

When I’m not writing I can be found in my kitchen. I love baking, and my husband will actually admit his love of Christmas fruitcake. (Personally I think all that brandy in the fruit has something to do with it!) If not baking then I’m working on my latest tapestry project or  playing catch-up with my reading list where I always seem to be at least three books behind!

It’s a crazy-good life, and I wouldn’t change it for anything, although I wouldn‘t object if I came up with the winning lottery numbers!
