Book Description
“An action-packed, satisfying love story gets this supernatural series off to a rousing start.”—Kirkus Reviews Lori Adams puts a twist on paranormal romance with the first novel of The Soulkeepers, a series that blends ancient legends and new myths with an enchanting mix of thrills, humor, and high drama. When Sophia St. James learns that she’ll be moving from Los Angeles to a podunk town somewhere in Connecticut for her senior year of high school, she isn’t expecting an otherworldly encounter. But there is more to Haven Hurst than meets the eye: it’s home to a family of Guardian Angels, and she is the only one who can see them in spirit form. Sophia soon realizes she wants to see much more of Michael, an irresistible yet volatile Guardian who seems drawn to her too. As Michael battles his forbidden desire for the beautiful young newcomer, one of Hell’s most notorious Demon Knights arrives. Handsome and charismatic, Dante has come to claim the reincarnated soul of his lost lover trapped in Sophia. Cursed with the demon of Persuasion living inside him, Dante will use his seductive charms to lure Sophia into a dangerous game that ends with the kiss of death—unless Michael, who has captured Sophia’s heart, can now capture her soul. Praise for Forbidden “A perfect blend of fantasy, humor, romance, and thrills, Forbidden had me laughing, biting my nails, and swooning all over the place.”—Cassie Mae, author of The Real Thing “I read Forbidden in one day because I just could not put it down.”—Good Choice Reading “Simply put . . . this book was amazing! Not only was it captivating, but it was intriguing as well.”—Just Us Book Lovers “I strongly recommend this book if you are looking for a well-developed paranormal romance. . . . Can’t wait for the next one!”—TJ Loves to Read “Definitely recommend this book.”—Books by Night, Mommy by Day
