Marsha's Reviews > Borrowed Souls

It's so much fun to discover a new author as well as a really good new series. That is the case with "Borrowed Souls." Imagine living in a world where you can earn money by renting out your soul or where you could rent someone else's so that you could take a walk on the wild side. The only problem is that this could get addictive and finishes your soul a little each time.

Calliope or Callie has a drug addicted brother who works off his debt with the mob. Mommy Dearest isn't much better and certainly waa never a contender for mother of the year, month or day. Yet, Callie has mastered one rule of life all too well, take care of your own. So when Callie walks into the creepy little shop of The Collector to rent a soul she wasn't expecting to have to work for him by collecting souls for two weeks.

Callie knows nothing of soul collecting and that is why the Collector has set her up to work with a giant man of few words names, Derek. Callie quickly learns that Derek is a man of his word. So when he says he will keep her safe he means just that. Soon, they become close and Callie realizes that she has one more person she would do anything for. The question is will she be able to live with herself when this is all over?

This was a wonderful new world of fun with a totally unique plot and creatively written characters. I truly enjoyed this read and was not surprised when the author sent out a special acknowledgement to one of my favorite authors, Stacia Kane. Any author Ms. Kane endorses has to be good! What is even more impressive is that this is this author's first book. One thing is certain, there will more great reads to come from this author and I can't wait to read them!
