Trying to work things out with Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can't just pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back. 
See, Sabine isn't just an ordinary girl. She's a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people's fears—and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives. 
And Sabine isn't above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants

My Thoughts...

Rachel never disappoints me! Her Were-Cat series still holds a special place in my heart and on my shelf, as wall as this series. I loved Kaylee in this book. In the past books I have liked her, but she always seemed to be leaning on Nash. Now we see her standing on her own .  I might be in the minority here but I loved Sabine! She was a great character and perfect for getting Kaylee to stand on her own two feet and try to fight for what she wants. I also might be team Sabine + Nash. I wasn't really ever a huge Nash fan. I've read reviews where people say that they would hate to see Kaylee with Todd but I personally thing if it happened I might squeal. I have always been team Todd. I guess we will have to see where the next book takes us. This story though had me completely sucked in and grasping at straws trying to figure out where we were going! I can't wait for the next book to see what craziness happens to this bunch next. I give this one 4.5 stars!

No one wants to be this teacher’s pet . . .
Everyone else is talking about Eastlake High’s gorgeous new math teacher, Mr. Beck, but Kaylee Cavanaugh has bigger things on her mind. Kaylee’s a banshee—her scream is a portent of death.
But the next scream might hit too close to home. Kaylee’s borrowed lifeline has almost run out.
Yeah—it’s a shock to her, too. So to distract herself from her own problems, Kaylee is determined to defend her school against the latest supernatural threat. That hot new teacher is really an incubus, who feeds from the desire of unsuspecting students. The only girls immune to his lure are Kaylee and Sabine, her boyfriend’s delinquent ex-girlfriend. Now the unlikely allies have to get rid of Mr. Beck…before he discovers they aren’t quite human either.
But Kaylee’s running out of time, and those who love her will do anything to save her life.
Anything.
Soul Screamers: The last thing you hear before you die.

My Thoughts...

I LOVE these books, Rachel is one of my favorite authors, I loved her were-cat series, and I love this series too!  Kaylee is in my top 5 favorite characters list.  She manages to find her way into some pretty sticky situations, and this book is no different. Kaylee is living on borrowed time and that time is just about up. As people struggle to find a way to save her Kaylee starts to accept that the end is nearing and concentrates on making things right for the people she is leaving behind, and trying to stop the next paranormal threat to hit the highschool.  She manages to mess a few things up, and turn us all on our ears.  This book really shakes this series up in a few different ways and I liked all of them. I can't wait to see where we go next with these characters.  Where ever we end up I'm sure I won't be disappointed! This one gets 5 stars from me!

Suddenly Tod's future wasn't so sure, and he had to make a choice. Life... Death... or something Between....

An ebook exclusive Soul Screamers series novella.

My Thoughts...

Tod...Tod...Tod...Oh how I adore you!  I've been reading this off and on when the other half leaves me sitting in the car.  Despite the breaks between reading sessions I really think that this was a great addition to the series.  I am a huge Rachel Vincent fan and a huge Soul Screamers fan.  Tod has been one of my favorite characters since the beginning of this series and getting to read his back story brought more life to one of my favorite characters.  Also I just enjoyed getting a look at pre reaper Tod even if it was brief.  This was a 5 star addition to a 5 star series!
