"If she were going to die, I'd already be screaming. I'm a banshee. That's what we do."

Synopsis
When Kaylee Cavanaugh screams, someone is about to die.
When pop star Eden croaks onstage and Kaylee doesn't wail, she knows that something is dead wrong about her. She can't cry for someone without a soul.
Starry-eyed teens are trading their souls for a lifetime of fame and fortune. In exchange for eternity of torture in the Netherworld. Kaylee can't let it happen, even if trying to save their souls could mean losing her own.

What  I think
'My Soul to Save' took me quite a while to read. It was a little bit boring first. Not because the story was bad, but because I was not so very interested in the plot. Although it kept dragging on in the beginning I was through that part of the book faster than I'd thought. Somewhere in the middle it got a lot more interesting and I was fascinated by the story a lot more. The ending of the book was totally of my taste, so imo the book grew more intense.
MSTS lacked a bit of Kaylee and Nash, as crazy as it sounds but the book was more about other people's lives and problems and they only got themselves into it on purpose.
It doesn't quite keep the level of My Soul to Take, which disappointed me a little bit. I suppose I expected a bit more of it. But I will definitely read the next two books.
