Synopsis: 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…
Details: YA fiction, paranormal, published August 2009, 279 pages.I thought that the plot of My Soul to Take - screaming when someone dies - was really weird. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's nice to have a fresh idea in a publishing world filled with vampires and werewolves. This book was an easy, quick read and I enjoyed it. The book moved along smoothly with no lagging sections. I'm looking forward to reading what the author has come up with next in My Soul to Save.
One thing I thought I'd mention was the fast relationship between Kaylee and Nash. They met for the first time in this book, and they skipped completely past the "friendship" part of their relationship and dived headlong into the holding-hands-and-kissing. The book only covers 4 or 5 days, guys! Kaylee and Nash reminded me of Jack and Rose in Titanic...moving way too fast.
I also looked up Rachel Vincent's adult books, the Shifters series, and they also look good!
I'm off to read Eighth Grade Bites by Heather Brewer. I'm really excited to read this series! It'll be fun to read books about a vampire who's a boy, especially after all the vampire books with girls as the main characters.

Great review! Have you read "The Forest of Hands and Teeth?" I think you'd like it. The relationships in that book move much slower. :)
I have it on my list of books to read! Might be a while until I get to it. It looks like a great book though...from the summary it sounds like a mix between The Giver and The Village movie.
i have 2 read this series! it looks awesome! glad u enjoyed it.
