Synopsis (Goodreads):
Get out of Hell free card? Not for Callie Delgado, Gem City’s newest soul charmer. Sin and salvation collide in this gritty and action-packed urban fantasy.Thoughts on Lost Souls: Whew. Things have gotten steadily more intense for Callie since she was first introduced to the Soul Charmer and they're definitely not slowing down in this book. However, Callie seems up for the challenge. She might be a little unsure about herself at times, but having someone like Derek in her corner, cheering her on (metaphorically, of course. The guy's a little too stoic and brooding for any actual cheering to take place, methinks.) and BELIEVING in her has helped keep her going.
Callie’s magic is finally her own. She and Derek dispatched Ford. They should have been able to breathe, but layers of sin run deep beneath Gem City. Another mob boss quickly rises, and his sights are firmly set on Callie—and her family.
Mobile soul rental shops begin to bite at the Soul Charmer’s business. His retribution is wicked, but the blowback threatens to crush Callie. If she can’t maintain the tenuous balance of souls in Gem City, more lives will be lost.
Only the more magic she uses, the more danger finds her. A break-in, pools of blood, and bare shelves at the Soul Charmer’s store force Callie to choose the fates of others. But which can she live with? Losing her city, her love, her family …or her very soul?
Plus, when the chips are down, a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do, amirite?
Even if that means going down a path she'd never imagined herself taking before.
That said, Callie is growing nicely into her powers. And by nicely, I mean she hasn't killed herself with them yet. Considering how her "mentor" mentors her, that's pretty impressive in itself. Be that as it may, circumstances keep testing her and she continues to find new facets to what she can do with the magic simmering inside her.
I kinda love Callie and Derek's relationship, btw. He's 100% in her corner and he's not afraid to growl that at anyone who crosses their path. Considering the things they're forced to do to protect themselves and the ones they love, that means the world to Callie. Also, Derek sees the wisdom in letting Callie do her thing when situations call for it, even though it means she might be in danger. Callie has the ability to protect herself and Derek trusts her enough to do just that. *heart eyes*
Gem City is dangerous and deadly and all sorts of other things and I'm enjoying my time here. Souls, a little bloodshed, and some darkly intricate plots have made this series a blast so far. I'm ready to see where the future takes Callie and Derek!
