Jami Gray delivers another fantastic action-packed novel with SHADOW'S SOUL, book two in the Kyn Kronicles series. Carve out some time, sit down and buckle up because SHADOW'S SOUL will take you on a wild ride through the world of magic. As with book one, I had a difficult time putting SHADOW'S SOUL down. I highly recommend this book… along with a nice strong cup of coffee.
SHADOW'S SOUL continues the story of Raine McCord, Gavin Durand, and others from the Pacific Northwest Kyn community. This time, trouble within the Southwest Kyn community threatens Raine and her friends. Her mentor, Cheveyo, is kidnapped while investigating Kyn deaths and disappearances in the Southwest, and Raine nearly dies trying to protect him. Fellow Wraiths, Gavin and Xander, get involved, and Kyn community politics isn't the only thing they have to battle. Add a Soul Stealer, spirits of dead witches called chindis, a land-hungry corporation and a few burgeoning romances, and the result is an explosive plotline ready for the big screen.
SHADOW'S SOUL keeps the exciting pace introduced in book one. The characters and scenes are similarly well written. The development of the romantic relationships and the associated dialogue are believable and compelling. This book introduces a new phase in Raine and Gavin's relationship that causes this book to have a level 2 Heat Rating. The book also introduces a new relationship that I predict will be a main part of the plotline in book three. There were some typos and grammatical issues that were a bit distracting, but the reader can easily get past them and enjoy the book.
I seriously cannot tell you how great this series is. You will just have to experience it for yourself. I give SHADOW'S SOUL 5 stars and eagerly await the next installation of the Kyn Kronicles.
