BLOG TOUR Review & GIVEAWAY: Soul Catcher (Soulkeepers #4) by G.P. Ching

Dane Michaels has been to Hell and back and isn't interested in repeating the experience. But as a human caught up in the Soulkeeper's world, his life isn't exactly his own. No one can explain why Dane was allowed through the gates of Eden, but it's changed everything. Now, the only one who can make him feel safe is Ethan, the telekinetic Soulkeeper with a dark past and a heart of gold.

When Malini asks Dane to be part of a mission to find the last Soulkeeper, Cheveyo, more than one team member thinks she's tempting Fate. But Malini suspects Fate has had a hand in Dane's life for some time and that he could be the key to unraveling Lucifer's latest plan of attack.

MY TAKE

Since I haven't reviewed the first three books in this series on my blog I think that I should give a quick summary of them here.  The series revolves around a teenage boy named Jacob who discovers that he is a Soulkeeper - meant to protect mankind against the fallen angels who threaten to destroy the world as he knows it.  Along the way, he finds other Soulkeepers who join with him in the fight against evil.

Now, I have to say that the first two books had their issues and that I wouldn't rate them as highly as books three and four.  I felt that the first book lacked suffcharacter development and I also thought that the book could have used better editing (not necessarily for grammatical errors, but just to help the author tighten up the story and characterization a bit).  That being said, I want to point out that the series has gotten better and better with each progressive book.  I feel that this Indie author has really grown and I love to support that on my blog!  So, I hope that readers will check out the series with this in mind.

Now, on to my review of Soul Catcher.  This book focuses on Dane Michaels, a human who has been thrown in with the Soulkeepers and doesn't quite know how he fits in.  But, Malini (the Healer - and therefore leader of the Soulkeepers) senses that Dane is actually key to their latest mission and sends him out, prepared or not.  Meanwhile, Dane is also struggling with his feelings for Ethan, the only person who makes him feel safe in his unimaginable circumstances.  Is Ethan just a friend or does he feel something more for him?  And if he does feel something more, can he accept this revelation about himself?

I felt that the love story in Soul Catcher was actually the most developed relationship in any of the books so far.  Perhaps this was because there was actually a realistic barrier between Ethan and Dane -  Dane's uneasiness with and indecision about his sexuality rang true and made sense (unlike many relationships in fiction today where the barriers feel manufactured).  I also felt that the story was fast-paced and action packed, so I give the book 4/5 stars.
