It’s
two weeks before Triss turns 18, and her world is about to change into
the most magical one imaginable as she readies herself to enter The
Witch Avenue Order… that is until her mother’s disappearance. Instead
of celebrating her transformation, she finds herself spreading rose
petals into her mother’s empty grave.
When Logan, her best friend
from junior high, moves back to town for college, he vows to help her
find the answers she so desperately seeks surrounding her mother’s
disappearance. As they begin uncovering clues, it becomes apparent that
the life of white magic they both grew up loving, is not what the
majority practices, and their lives are in danger.
With a haunting feeling that
her mother may still be alive, she begins to hear a call to the
wilderness. Triss realizes that in order to find the answers she needs,
she must learn the ways of her ancestors and become the hunter, not the
hunted before it’s too late, and she becomes part of the lonely souls.
I've always liked stories about witches and Lonely Souls was an interesting addition to the ones I've already read. I really enjoyed the way that magic was portrayed in Lonely Souls and the portrayal of spells and covens and the like. Triss was a decent heroine, although I occasionally got annoyed with her constant feeling of guilt (which in turn makes me feel like a terrible person considering what she's gone through). But I feel she made the right decision in the end.
I also liked Logan, Triss's childhood friend and love interest. In fact, I know I have much more in common with Logan than with Triss. I'm still a bit mad at Logan about something that happened at the end though.
My biggest turn-off with this one was the dialogue. It felt a little forced and unnatural to me.

ReplyDeleteGreat review! And actually the cover is intriguing as well as the synopsis :) I sure did add this to my TBR list and I'll have to read it soon. A bitsad about how you felt about the dialogue because it would definitely take a lot from enjoying this book. But thanks for sharing <3
