THE SOUL by d. Nichole King

THE SOUL by d. Nichole King
Series: Spirit Trilogy, Book #3
Genre: YA urban fantasy/paranormal
Release date: October 11, 2016

Publisher: Limitless Publisher
— SYNOPSIS —
A soul is not meant to be severed from its spirit.

Neither is it meant to be ripped in two.
Half of Lucas’s soul is lost, and the rest he forfeited to save Carrie’s life. Now, the piece residing in her calls out for unity, and the cry is too much for her to bear. Her spirit suffers, and Lucas fears for her life.

The connection between the couple grows, but so does the evil pursuing them.

When Carrie falls into the clutches of a demon, she and Lucas realize Hell is invested in their search for his soul. Demons know Villisca is without a necromancer, and that Carrie sees the auras of supernaturals. So they offer Carrie a deal.

A prophecy is given. A choice is made.

Love is supposed to conquer all, but the closer Lucas and Carrie come to merging his soul, the more ephemeral their future together appears. When the price is finally revealed—
More than one life is at stake.




— PURCHASE 

— EXCERPT 
The lives of at least two people hinged on my actions tonight, and I was no diplomat. Making deals with demons—how had we gotten to this point?
“The potion you took from Megan, to bring you back to life?” I said, changing the subject. “A few months ago, when you were pale and sick…you weren’t fading away. You were dying.”
The coolness of his palm settled on my cheek, and he nodded. “I had died, yes.”
“Because you were experimenting with this potion, and it didn’t work?”
“Yeah.”
I shuffled my feet on the floor, debating if I wanted an answer to my next question. I swallowed the emotion rising in my throat. “How many times have you died?”
He tipped my face up to his. “Fifteen.”
That emotion raced back up, and a tear fell onto my cheek. With his thumb, Lucas wiped it away.
Fifteen.
“I’d die a million more times if it brought me a step closer to you hearing my heartbeat. We might be here to search for my soul, but I’m not giving up on us.”
I caressed his face, memorizing the smoothness of his skin, how his dark eyelashes accentuated the color of his irises, how tiny laugh lines appeared at the corners of his eyes when he smiled. And that lone dimple. He knew how to work his half-grin so that it appeared just enough to make my heart forget to beat.
Yes, my broken soulmate belonged to me, and I to him.
“I love you,” I whispered. “Remember that, okay?”
“Forever.”
The numbers on the clock flashed in my periphery. “We’re two minutes late.”
Lucas wrapped in me in close. “Come on, then, beautiful. It’s date night.”


4 Stars
The conclusion to this great series. If you have not read the previous two books this review will contain spoilers.
Carrie has finally graduated high school and is now determined to help Lucas find the other half of his soul especially since it calls out to the half that resides within her.
Lucas knows that the time is fast approaching where he needs to find the rest of his soul especially with the extreme amount of pain tearing through Carrie at every turn.
A path they want to travel together but as time grows shorter and shorter it may tear them apart. Can they each be what the other needs in order to survive not only for themselves but for everyone else?
Full of emotion this series has definitely taken you on a rollercoaster ride. Tissues are a must to keep nearby and be prepared for twists you never saw coming. I enjoyed every bit of this series and how it has concluded.
