I didn’t trust him initially but he’s definitely my favourite character now! Kaylee’s best friend Emma is the only character I didn’t like, because she didn’t act how I think a best friend should act. And Nash, the love interest is awesome (and hot). Kaylee’s discovery of her supernaturally inclined side and her acceptance of it is a little too quick and glossy for me, but otherwise I really enjoyed the pacing and premise of the book.I enjoyed reading about the characters immensely, especially Kaylee, who is great and relatable. I shouldn’t have worried: I enjoyed My Soul to Take a lot and am glad there’s plenty more where that came from!The mythology used in the book is interesting - I think it is fresh and engaging. I don’t usually read books bordering on horror, so I was unsure about reading about a girl who senses when people are about to die. I still hold out hope that there isn’t a love triangle, even though I can see it coming a mile away. But the book was enjoyable enough that I think I’ll continue on with the series. Honestly, that trope is what knocked this down a star for me. It didn’t feel like there was any actual character development with Kaylee, apart from her learning her true heritage as a banshee, and I didn’t enjoy the instant love she develops with Nash. I’ve grown tired of many tropes in the genre recently, and while My Soul to Take has some of them, the writing moves quickly and the plot is interesting enough that I could forgive them and enjoy it.Kaylee is a pretty nice heroine to follow she’s sensible, she isn’t incredibly dumb, and she understandably thinks she’s going insane when she realizes she can predict people’s deaths – and ends up screaming like a banshee when near them. Originally posted at The Wandering Fangirl.My Soul to Take is a nice twist on the myth of banshees, and a surprisingly enjoyable YA paranormal romance read.
