My Soul To Keep by Melissa Solis

Rating: 1.5 out of 5.

      “Well there is one thing that I have been meaning to tell you.”  I eye his rifle and give pause to the fact that no one knows we are up on this mountain. But I have a Keeper looking after me so I feel safer and he deserved the whole truth.  So I take a deep breath and begin, “The night of the dance, after I went home, Elijah and I kissed before he left town, and he came back to visit for a couple of hours about a month after that as well. I love you Sam, but I don’t know if I’ll ever get over him. I just want you to know everything. I never want to hurt you again.” He continues his pace beside me silently for a few minutes and my fear of losing him begins to escalate.
Finally he takes my hand in his and turns to me.

      “If he comes back would I lose you to him, because I never want to be second in your heart?”

      “I honestly can’t answer that. You know I want to say no but the truth is, I have never been in love before and now my heart is torn in two.”

Seventeen year old Brennen Hale has been called a miracle, very fortunate and most frequently– lucky. The only problem is she doesn’t believe in luck.
To say she has had a rough life is an understatement, the fact is, that as much as her guardian angel wants to see her live, a faction of demons wants her dead even more.

Brennen starts her senior year with the intent of keeping a low profile. She has secrets to keep and if they get out, her life could be ruined. Her plan quickly loses ground as she makes a connection with not one but two new students in her classes.

Brennen doesn’t know it but her lifetime guardian angel has just befriended her. He can’t let her know who he really is or how he really feels about her in order to keep her safe. He is forced to watch the only love he has ever known fall in love with someone else.


Interesting premise to a trilogy and I loved the first few chapters – but then it all went a bit too YA for me. I had the same issue with Grim (the reaper series). It’s an OK book if you like average teenagers getting in love triangles with mortals and angels but I think I’ve reached a point in my reading where this doesn’t do much for me.

The main heroine is so forgettable I had to double-check before starting this review to see who it was referring to and while in the beginning she was giving off good vibes, she ended up whining her way through chapter after chapter making her one of the most insufferable people I had the displeasure of reading about.
