Book Review: Soulkeepers by G. P. Ching (Soulkeepers Book 1)

    When Jacob wakes in the hospital to find his mom is missing and that he has to go to some town called Paris with a man he has never met he thought things couldn't get any worse. That is until he actually gets to the little town and discovers everyone there seems to hate him other than his uncle other than a girl named Milani. This even results in a fight between he and a local bully that ends in him controlling water.

    When you lose one of your parents you may think that there is no God. With the loss of both you either turn to him completely or turn your back. The difference is up to the individual. For Jacob it was a complete lack of belief in higher powers. Even when he discovers he has powers he knows there must be some logical explanation other than what he was told by Dr. Silva. That being said, what would you do to get your mom back and protect those you care about? 

    I started this book a long time ago, got about halfway through it and stopped for some reason until this past week. I ended up having to start at the beginning again because of how long it had been, but it isn't a painful read. In fact it is an interesting YA book, that while minorly religious is more about good vs evil than the Christian god or any other religion. It reminds me a little bit of Percy Jackson if he was fighting fallen angels other than gods and the children of gods. 

    This is not one of those books that leaves in the middle of the story. There is resolutions to problems brought up with the ability to expand into other issues in the future. Which is how a book and series should be, in my opinion. This book is available on Amazon for free by clicking here.
