Everyone has a soulSome are just worth more than others
Farley Hope was seventeen when her mother disappeared. In the last six months not much has changed, except that her eighteenth birthday came and went and still no sign of Moira. Her life is just as complicated as it always was. Since her father died in a car crash before she was even born, she’s officially parentless, and to top it all off she’s still suffering from the hallucinations. Mind-splitting, vivid hallucinations- the kind prone to induce night terrors and leave you whimpering under your covers like a baby.The last thing on her mind is boys. Farley is on break from St. Judes’ when she meets Daniel. It’s not some casual run in at a party, or even a blind date with friends, though. Daniel is the guy following her in his 1970′s Dodge Charger; the guy standing at her window in the LA lunch hour traffic, trying to persuade her to leave everything behind and follow him. And he's hot as all hell. The moment Farley lays eyes on Daniel, everything changes. He is cold and withdrawn, but there are cracks in his harsh veneer- cracks that betray the secrets he is trying so hard to hide. Farley is drawn into a world that will shake apart everything she thought she ever knew. There are truths out there that she must learn: that a person’s soul is their only real currency, and there are people who would do anything to take hers; that loving someone can hurt so much more than hating them; but, most importantly, when your future is predestined, there is little you can do to change it. Farley Hope is prophesied.Her coming has been awaited for hundreds of years.She is destined to end the tyranny of the Soul Reavers.To do so she must die.

I really enjoyed this tale full of action, beings with special abilities and romance. A girl loves nothing more than to read a story that involves some high ranking adventure and of course the mysterious presence of a hunky character.
This story focuses on Farley Hope; an eighteen-year-old whose world got turned upside down when she is kidnapped by the people who are only interested in keeping her safe. She discovers things about herself and the world that plagues her nightmares and she still needs answers to her mother’s sudden disappearance. An interesting story told in a creative way with characters that can easily be related to.
Farley is of course a stubborn girl who demands answers, especially answers that her heart needs when she grows closer to the hard headed Daniel who is anything but a normal human boy. The character of Daniel made me fall in love with him, then hate him, then love him even more. He adds emotion to the story and even made me gasp a few times while reading.
As Farley and Daniel try to figure out their feelings for each other the clock is ticking and an ancient prophecy is about to come to light that seems to be about Farley. She has the weight of the world on her shoulders and having conflicting emotions about Daniel isn’t helping her either.
This story was full of twists and turns that I hadn’t seen coming and I love reading something that isn’t predictable. I know many readers would enjoy this novel, many girls would swoon for the mysterious and brave Daniel and, like me, they won’t be able to put it down until it was done.
An easy read that satisfied my cravings for some adventure.
