Four girls have disappeared at All Saints College in less than two years. All four were "lost souls" - troubled, vulnerable girls with no one to care about them, no one to come looking if they disappeared. The police think they're runaways, but Kristi senses there's something that links them, something terrifying. She decides to enroll, following their same steps.
All Saints has changed a lot since Kristi was an undergraduate. The stodgy Catholic college has lured edgy new professors to its campus and gained a reputation for envelope-pushing, with classes like the very popular "The Influence of Vampirism in Modern Culture and Literature" and elaborately staged morality plays that feel more like the titillating entertainment of some underground club than religious spectacles. And there are whispers of a dark cult on campus whose members wear vials of blood around their necks and meet in secret chambers - rituals to which only the elite have access.
To find the truth, Kristi will need to become part of the cult's inner circle, to learn their secrets, and play the part of lost soul without losing herself in the process. It's a dangerous path, and Kristi is skating on its knife-thin edge.

Definitely like continuation and I’m excited to listen to the next book in the series. As of right now I still feel that cold blooded is the best in the series though, Hot blooded was also good. I know there’s a few more books left in the series and I’m excited to get into them especially the next one I won’t spoil but the cliffhanger at the end is really interesting.
This is a definite read for those who have read the previous three novels in the series.
If you’re just starting with this book I recommend going back and listening to the first three novels just to kind of give some backstory on some of the characters as well as previous things that happened.
I would give this a solid: 7/10
it was a good continuation but not as good as the previous novels for me but I’m really excited to see where the story goes from here.
There are a few criticisms however:
1. I did enjoy all the characters in this however I feel that Kristys Character at some point just seems pretty stupid especially with decisions she made. Like especially talking to Dr. Groto after hearing his arguement and getting information that way but then only to interview him and ask a bunch of questions that would make him really suspicious especially after what she just heard and say about her. I enjoyed Her character but at times her stubbornness was pretty annoying especially when the obvious thing to do would be going to the police but for just no reason being so stubborn just didn’t make any sense to me.
2. So ill address the elephant in the room With the vampire thing, Like I said it was really different from previous stories were most were just about a psychotic killer and each killer was just one person that did things in their own way with their own sick twisted ways that they would get off. However, This was interesting with two killers so the vampire thing is kind of silly it does work and at times is pretty entertaining but there are also times that it really just seems kind of lame I was like kind of a way to try to change it up from the normal. There was times I enjoyed it but then there were times about the vampire stuff that was just really long and drawn out and it was kind of just like all right like I understand what’s going on but can we kind of just get to the point.
3. Not much other criticism really just at some parts of the story it just felt like somethings were taking a little long to progress or there were some points like where Kristy hears Dr. grotos argument and then she plans on telling Jay about it but then we never hear her tell Jay about it and that just kind of disappointed me a little bit.
In conclusion I really did enjoy the story there were some criticisms but overall it was a good continuation that’s why I gave it a seven out of 10 because I felt like it was good as a continuation but not as good as the previous novels hopefully the future novels will improve on it which I’m looking forward to

Very well written

Christie left for All Saint's College, located in Baton Rouge, La. She wanted to be a crime writer. She had her stories published in other arenas but had never written a book. Christie was registered in a class that would be taught by a past boyfriend. He saw her name on his list of students who would be in the class that he would be teaching. Teaching was not his full time job. He was to teach a course about crime.
There is a killer on campus who selects girls who are loners. These young women don't have boyfriends. They are insecure, have a lack of self esteem and stand out as easy prey for the killer.
The killer taught at the college. He would select his next victim before he would strike. The student would know who he was and considered him to be an okay person. I've heard it said that the victim usually knows their murderer.
The book was an easy mystery to listen to. I've heard Joyce Bean narrate before and I was pleased with her narration. I've read other books by Lisa Jackson but did not find Lost Souls to be as enjoyable as Left to Die, another book by her that I have just finished. Lost Souls is the first novel I've read with a vampire as the protagonist and I've learned what I have thought about vampires, not my kind of book. I don't want to deter other reader's from reading this novel, especially if they enjoy vampire novels. I had to finish the book and hear the end.

Would you consider the audio edition of Lost Souls to be better than the print version?
Didn't read printDid the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Once I got about halfway through it. Started building too slowHave you listened to any of Joyce Bean’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Probably but don't rememberWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
