Romance Paranormal

For twenty-six years, Adrian has dedicated his life in building and protecting his Rogue community. Due to his decision to give shelter to his estranged father, partner and a kid, his carefully built community was attacked by the Watchers, forcing him to re-locate and re-build it. All he wants to do is carry on his mate's request in saving the damned ones and mourn her loss in private. When a series of abductions are being carried out, he is forced out of his seclusion out of curiosity to investigate. Apparently all the abductees carry a specific mark which he also has. What he least expected was to run into the mate he loved and lost, re-born as Emma.

All her life, all Emma has been taught is to run and hide from those soulless dark creatures who are after her soul because she is the 'chosen one' who will save the world. Never knowing a true home or peace and having lost everything precious to her, most recently kidnapping her mom, has Emma at her wit's end. Skeptical of Adrian because he represents everything she has been taught to hide from, Emma feels a pull towards him she never has to anyone before. 'Adrian' is the name whispered to her in her dreams since she was a child. Her instinct propels her to trust him.

Hiding out with him in his isolated community, her past and present is merging together and passions running anew amid the danger. All she knows is she is falling in love with him and has to find a way to save her mom. Having the Kleptopsychs and Watchers both after her soul, it is a race against time for Adrian to help her remember her past, get her to control the full power of her unique soul and find her mom who just may have the answers to all their questions. With everyone having ulterior motives and not knowing who to trust, it is up to them to stop the apocalypse before it is upon them. Will they succeed before someone betrays them to the enemy, hastening the end of the world?

After reading about and loving Adrian in Soul Deep, I was eagerly waiting for his story. He is an enigmatic character who had my attention from the very beginning and I was expecting his book to be darker and more compelling than the last one. Unfortunately this is not the case. While the story, passion and everything is there, it still falls short of expectation. The twist in Emma's past and destiny along with her mom is the highlight of the story though the climax just did not meet up to it. The events and conversations leading to the unravelling of the mystery of her soul and other important events made this book pretty predictable therefore lessening the overall effect. All the elements that made an impact making Soul Deep a riveting and satisfying read felt missing in SOUL CHASE. Nonetheless, SOUL CHASE is a much awaited addition to the series however if taken as a stand-alone novel it will be far more enjoyable. I look forward to reading more about the last in the Sacred Four souls and this fascinating world the writer Anne Hope has created.

SUMMARY

A man she’d die for, a world she was born to defend… Only one can survive. Dark Souls, Book 3 For twenty-five years, Adrian has mourned the loss of his soul mate, Angie. He’s content to live as an outcast…until a series of abductions forces him out of seclusion and into the arms of the very woman he loved and lost. Angie’s reincarnation, Emma. Emma is on the run, hunted by soulless creatures whose one goal is to possess her soul. They have taken everything: her home, her identity, her mother. Left with no other choice, she must trust her fate to Adrian, the enigmatic stranger who comes to her rescue. An immortal being whose illicit touch makes her blood burn and awakens an inexplicable desire in her heart. Emma follows Adrian to his isolated community in Arizona, where she is assailed by visions of a past life. As passion ignites and her enemies close in, Emma is drawn into a world where nothing is what it seems and where love could prove the greatest weakness of all. Warning: Contains a dark, tortured hero, a hunted woman who can’t remember loving him, a nasty villain hell-bent on destroying the world, and a timeless love story you won’t soon forget.
