My Soul To Take by Rachel Vincent

Author: Rachel Vincent
Reading level: Young Adult
Publisher: Harlequin Teen

Rated 9/10



She doesn't see dead people, but she senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.


Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next

 MY REVIEW
This is the first book in the Soul Screamers series. I really liked this book, it was different and had a great plot. I have read books about vampires,werewolves,ghosts,and zombies, but this is the first book I have ever read about banshees. The story starts out with Kaylee and her best friends Emma sneaking into an 18 and over club,where Kaylee runs into Nash, a really popular and good looking boy from her school. Soon she starts to panic after the feelings of dread she has felt her whole life when someone is about to die returns. She tries to keep in the screams that always follow these feelings, and with the help of Nash she suceeds. When outside with Nash later she tells him she knows when someone will die and that the girl in the club was going to die. The next morning while watching the news Kaylee finds out the there is no explanation for that's girl's death from the night before. Soon her and Nash are getting close and she finds out at work that another girl in a different town has died for no apparent reason too. Nash later reveals to Kaylee that Kaylee and him are both bean sidhe(banshees) and all the aspects that go along with her heritage. With the help of a grim reaper,Tod, Kaylee and Nash figure out what's happening and why girls just seem to be dropping dead for no reason at all.
