Note: Thank you magical people in the publishing world for contacting me and allowing me to review this book in exchange for an honest review. As always it’s a pleasure to read this series.
Once upon a time an angel and a demon fell in love. The angel saved the demon as angels typically do. Then the demon made a deal with the devil to save the angel’s brother from damnation and then it all went downhill from there.
In short that’s what Soul Corrupted is about without getting into any of the REALLY good juicy side tales, but with that in mind the side stories ARE what make this book. We finally have the backstory behind Keira, our sassy African-american demoness, and we actually get to deal with the consequences of being an angel while the rest of your family is still alive.
The story was hard to get into at first but soon becomes the best most obsessive thing you will read. Understand that it looks to be this really sweet innocent book but actually starts to deal with issues of the psych and how far you would go to save the ones you love. The relationship between Grace and Josh is not what most Young Adult books present as a perfect one, but something more deep and meaningful. They quickly learn how somethings in a relationship need to be shared and not put on one's own shoulders.
Rating: With all that in mind I would give this book a 3.7. It has potential but the writing style tends to fail it and the plot relies on quite a few cliches, but it’s still a good book to read.
