Publisher's Summary

Germany, 1940.

Magic runs strong in Ilona, a gypsy seer. Powerful ability isn't valued in Romani women, so she focuses her fortunetelling on inconsequential details. Nothing that could come back to haunt her caravan if a prediction went bad. Rounded up and dumped in Dachau prison camp, she has plenty of time to rue her decision to downplay her ability. If she'd taken the time to scry her own future, she'd still be free.

A wolf shifter, Jamal made the mistake of wedding a Romani woman centuries ago. His arrogance caused both death and heartache, and he's been alone ever since. The recent threat of vampires joining the Third Reich has provided ample reason for shifters and Rom to lay their ancient enmity aside and work together, but their détente is fragile.

Jamal and a group of shifters come across Ilona after her escape from Dachau. Vulnerable, terrified, she's fully prepared to fight. Her courage and mettle touch places in him he'd thought were dead, but she's Romani. His last relationship ended so badly, the last thing he needs is to fall for another gypsy woman. He wrestles his tumbling emotions into submission, but when she trains her enigmatic, gray gaze on him, his resolve first weakens and then vanishes entirely.

Jamal's story - soul dance series

First, let me say you need to listen to book 1 of this series to properly enjoy this one. You won't be sorry.
When I realized book 2 was going to center around Jamal, I wasn't certain I was going to be able to like it because I hadn't forgiven him from book 1 for his treatment of Tairin. However, the author did a wonderful job showing how time can heal old wounds and how people (or Shifters) can grow and learn from their mistakes. In the end, you end up rooting for him and all of Shifter / Gypsy groups that are standing up to the Nazis and the vampires.
This was a wonderful addition to this series and I really enjoyed it.

Awesome Continuation of the Soul Dance Series

This is the continuing story of the Romani people teaming up with shifters to fight the vampires and Hitler’s Third Reich. This book introduces Ilona, a Romani who was imprisoned in a concentration camp and her escape which allows Jamal, Tairin and Elliott to find her in hiding. The ensuing story deals not only with the fight to eradicate the vampires and a major impersonation, but the romance between Jamal and Ilona—plus the adventure of finding and saving Ilona’s brother. The narrator, Gregory Salinas, does a great job in bringing this story to life. I received this audiobook at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Great new story

I enjoyed the continuing story. I loved meeting the new characters and revisiting old friends.
