Publisher's summary

Kendra Larkin had everything going in the right direction. Her life was seemingly perfect, and she wouldn't have changed a thing about it. Unfortunately, the course of her life was about to be forever altered. A tragic rappelling accident lands her on Dr. Adam Chamberlain's operating table.

She agrees to a deal proposed by a guardian angel to help save the soul of the man who is both her doctor and soulmate. If she is successful, she gets to keep her life. However, she later learns that it isn't just her life that's in jeopardy, but her soul as well.

Even with the help of her handsome guardian angel, Rhyan, it seems there is no happy ending in sight. Torn between her newly discovered love of Rhyan, and the undeniable attraction she has for Adam, Kendra finds herself at a crossroad. With Adam's steadfast rejection of God, and his guardian demon conspiring against her, she fears her soul may already be lost.

Will she find a way to overcome the evil her life is suddenly burdened with? Or will Adam's guardian demon win both their souls and make Kendra his own personal puppet in Hell?

Interesting...not a traditional Christian Romance

I am not really sure how to classify this book. It is a Paranormal with religious undertones but it also has premarital sex. I am have no problem with that, but traditionally somebody looking for a Christian read doesn't want sex and regular paranormal readers are not looking for as much god talk. This makes it difficult to see exactly who the target audience is.

I generally like the book and the story. There is a great flow to the book and the characters. I did think it was a bit tricky all coming from Kendra's POV, it limits you to only what she knows or is told. It might have been nice to have a little of Adam and his skepticism. Or Ryan, with his guardian angel angst.

Kendra has moments of immaturity and times when she seems really promiscuous. Not sure how a Christian readers are going to take her friends-with-benefits relationship. It also appears almost every guy in the book is interested in her. Don't get me wrong, she has some really winning moments, but there are a lot of curve balls as well.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Erin Mallon, who does a very nice job of helping to connect with the main character. Her voice is rather breathy at times, but nothing I could not handle. She has a steady quick pace, another thing I enjoy. Her voices were all distinct and consistent throughout. The emotions seemed off at times, some moments were dropped while others seemed exaggerated. Still it was a comfortable listen.

Overall, I enjoyed the book, I was just thrown by the seeming contradictions. I will definitely be looking for the next book in the series, I just have to know! I love a bit of drama and this one had me tearing up a few times!!

excellent

I loved it,great narrator also. story kept me enthralled all through it. Love this author

What would you do to save the one you love?

We say we will do anything for love? We profess it to the ones we love and we believe it wholeheartedly. That is until we are asked to believe the unbelievable. We are asked to have faith, but something keeps up from letting down those walls and doing the very thing we said we would do. We push limits and we try to fix things out of our control. This is every day life. In this book the author takes those things and molds them into a beautiful story! Guardian demons, Guardian Angels, the love of soul mates and a soul or 2 on the line! I couldn't get enough and would listen every chance of could! I had to know if they could do it! I can't wait to see where the next piece of the story takes me!

Kendra Dying But Saved By Love

I loved this book. Wish I hadn't waited 4 years to read it but it is delightful. Kendra is on the operating table, dying or maybe already dead, hears voices in her head which turn out to be her guardian angel, Ryan. Don't believe in guardian angels? You might after reading this book. This is a delightful romance where Kendra must convince Adam, her doctor by the way, that he must believe in God or she is going to die in 7 days. It is a pleasant story with a happy ending. You would expect a happy ending with that title. there are two more books in the series and I plan to read both of them. I don't usually like books with a religious overtone but this series is not preaching but just plain 'feel good' kind of story. There is adventure, smattering of sex without graphic details, and lots and lots of feel good. Erin Mallon is Good narrator for this series.

The end was great!

What did you like about this audiobook?

The breathing in between each sentence was off putting.

A Great Paranormal Romantic Thriller

This is the first book by this author but will not be my last. I loved the whole theme of this guardian angels and demons and human souls. The narration was good with the different characters. I can't wait for the next in this great series. I highly recommend this.

I received this audiobook from the author decided to review it voluntarily.

An amazing story, written very well. This story will have you on an emotional roller coaster. The narrator did an amazing job. I would highly recommend this book to my friends as it was recommended to me.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really.

Any additional comments?

Book pushed religion a little to much for me and at times there was a little to much detail by overall I really enjoyed the story and so very glad it had an ending, not a cliff hanger that all authors seem to be doing lately. Look forward to book two!

A fantastic voyage!

Would you consider the audio edition of Save My Soul to be better than the print version?

Yes! I have the ebook of this and it wasn't nearly as good as the audio version! I just don't remember everything I read, but in audio with all the different voices, it is like hearing a movie, but better. The excitement in the book and the voices stick with me & I remember it all so clearly! I absorb more with the audiobook!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the plot! I loved all the voices. I didn't like Murray, he is one bad ass! I loved Kendra, Adam & Ryan. I loved how the guardians have the ability to speak to Kendra in her head. I loved the adventure in the story over all & the happy ending!!!

What does Erin Mallon bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Erin's ability to do multiple voices is great. I loved the soothing sounds of Ryan & Adam's voices. The excitement she brings into the story thru her voice is mesmerizing. Kendra's role was totally believable too & exciting!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the part where Adam breaks down & tells Kendra why he doesn't believe in God. What has happened to his family & in the end when Adam's guardian angel turns out to be his mom. That was great! Mostly, I loved the happy ending.

Any additional comments?

Great book! Loved the storyline. The plot was awesome, it sucked me right in & took me on an incredible adventure! What a great imagination K S Haigwood (author) has! The ability to write such a story, capture my interest & keep me entertained all at once is awesome.
